IMPORTANT: READ CAREFULLY
PrepAccelerator does not
guarantee a score improvement. Scores will not improve merely because a
student attends the boot camp. To see a score improvement, students are
expected to be completely engaged and make thorough notes during the
boot camp, practice everything they have learned, thoroughly memorize
the cheat sheets, complete the assignments, and attempt practice tests
under timed conditions with a parent proctor. Success on the test is
entirely about hard work during and after the boot camp. The boot camp
gives students and parents the tools and the glide path to the target
score, but it is the student's focused practice and relentless work that
will lead to a score improvement. Before registering for the boot camp,
parents are strongly encouraged to have a conversation with the student
about the student's commitment to the work involved and about their own
expectations of the student. While students who complete the
assignments can benefit from attending the boot camp closest to their
target test date, a longer window between the boot camp and the test
date is strongly recommended, especially during the busy school year.
Ideally, parents and students should plan on a 6-8-week window between
the boot camp and the test date during the school year so that students
have adequate time to master the content and strategies as well as
internalize the techniques taught at the boot camp. Shorter prep windows
are also feasible provided the student and family are prepared to
intensify their efforts for the upcoming test. Register for the
boot camp only if your student is prepared to take the boot camp
seriously and commits sincerely to completing the assignments. Otherwise, don't waste your money.
If your student is already at a 1450-or-higher SAT or PSAT score, contact us early with detailed information on your student's background at PrepAccelerator.com/Contact to determine the best approach from among the following choices: boot camp, individual instruction, and self-paced video programs.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What do students need for the event?
Students should have a notebook, a calculator (preferably the one they will use on test day), and writing instruments. Earphones/headphones/Air Pods are also important to prevent acoustic feedback caused by computer speakers that will compromise the student's ability to listen and participate.
What happens if internet outage or technological issues on PrepAccelerator's side cause a part of this event to be cancelled?
We will make every reasonable effort to restore our internet connection and resume the boot camp immediately. However, if the outage persists, class will be cancelled for that session or the remainder of that day. PrepAccelerator will make a recorded version of the missed portion available to students for a limited time.
My student will have to miss a session. Will you be providing a
recording or class notes for the missed session? If not, how can my
student make up the session?
We do NOT provide a recording
or class notes for your student's missed session. Plan early and register for the boot
camp only if your student is able to attend the entire event.
Busy students with scheduling conflicts are advised to consider our self-paced video SAT-PSAT modules and bundles at PrepAccelerator.com/SATOnDemand. These
contain all the information taught at the boot camp (as well as
solutions to all the handbook drills), are accessible anywhere, anytime,
and on any device. Our video programs are extremely effective to help
motivated students improve their score.
