Our Students Say…

TestTakers has definitely helped a lot with my prep for the test.
I don’t really know what I would have done without it!
— St. Francis Preparatory School
I’ve improved a lot and learned so many new things—a lot of which made me say, ‘Wow! Never thought of it that way before!
— Xaverian High School
Amazing teaching techniques.
I always feel confident with what I learned that day in class; there’s so much enthusiasm for us to do well!
— Chaminade High School
My math teacher is my favorite person on the whole planet.
I wish I had him as one of my high school teachers.
Enough said.
— Bronx High School of Science
My writing instructor has probably been the most inspiring instructor I’ve ever had.
— Scarsdale High School
TestTakers is a great program.
It’s not one of those typical, boring SAT classes, and in so little time, it’s already proven to be effective.
— Regis High School
This was seriously the best SAT prep I’ve taken. I looked forward to it every week. The teacher’s enthusiasm and encouragement really made me want to do well. The teachers were amazing.
— Half Hollow Hills H.S. East
However you’ve been choosing TestTakers teachers, keep doing it the same way. They are all funny and make learning fun. I love my teachers!
— Staten Island Tech
I am now a master of the plug-in technique and can’t wait to demolish the SAT math section next Saturday.
— Half Hollow Hills H.S. West
My math teacher is brilliant, and it shows through her teaching. She’s also very willing to help out on her own free time, as she’s shown more than once, with more than one student. As a plus, she gives personalized notes, bakes cookies, and can sing!
— Stuyvesant High School
The program was great! The instructors made learning about the SAT enjoyable. It was a challenging course but the instructors helped me if I had trouble in a particular subject. I really liked the program and I feel more confident that I will succeed on my SAT.
— Great Neck North High School
My math teacher is a king among men. My scores have gone up like crazy and I feel good about my chances at an 800. I would marry into his family if given the chance.
— Roslyn High School
I actively enjoy coming to TestTakers. At first, I dreaded taking the SAT but TestTakers provided me with the right tools and boosted my confidence in test-taking.
— Great Neck South High School
I have learned techniques that have helped me with the diagnostic tests as well as my AP classes at school.
— Garden City High School
Thank you for embracing unconventional teaching methods. Saturday afternoons just got a bit more exciting.
— Bronx High School of Science
My Site Director has been willing to break his back to work around my busy schedule and is always enthusiastic to meet with me for extra help.
— Edgemont High School
My Site Director rules! No joke. He’s the reason I’m actually going to miss spending four hours in a classroom on a Sunday.
— Ardsley High School
I really want to thank you, and all of my TestTakers teachers, for giving me the skills to improve this much!
— Sacred Heart Academy
It’s better than regular school—this should be the new TestTakers motto!
— St. Joseph by the Sea H.S.
TestTakers has taught me a lot about facing the SAT, and now I don’t fear taking it. Besides that, I never thought I would have so much fun learning how to take a standardized test. The classes really brighten my day.
— The Wheatley School
I actually enjoy coming here and I tell people at school that I have fun here.
— Archbishop Molloy High School
I have learned more in this math class than I have ever learned before.

My Site Director is enthusiastic all the time. He makes me stoked for the SAT, which I thought was impossible.

I would take my TestTakers teachers over any of my regular teachers.
— Townsend Harris High School
