Testimonials

Below are some testimonials for the Coleman Test Prep SAT Program written by current and past students:

"Before joining the SAT Regular Program, My main struggle was with the English portion of the SAT. Like many others, I felt overwhelmed by the daunting vocabulary and passages. Before starting, I took a practice test and scored a 590 in the English section. After just three weeks of the program, I scored a 720 on the reading section- a 130-point increase in just one section. I attribute this score to Marty's comprehensive teaching strategies, where he fosters individual and group practice to ensure we all understand the concepts. The group size is perfect for this as it is small enough to get the individual attention needed yet large enough to hear other viewpoints. Additionally, by joining Coleman Test Prep, I not only got a tutor but a friend that personally advises me and makes various personalized problem sets based on the areas I want to grow in. "

"Before joining the course I hadn’t really studied much for the SAT, but since junior year was coming up I thought it would be good to join the course especially since the first week was half off. During the course I realized the importance of studying for the SAT and I learned useful techniques. I took a practice test after the second lesson and my score raised by 50 points already. For a short amount of time I felt really good that I was able to improve a significant amount. This course is so helpful and it motivates me to keep on aiming for a higher score."

"Marty provides unparalleled support. Whether it’s answering text messages throughout the day or providing personalized practice sets, Marty caters to everyone’s individual needs. Before starting the program, I was confused by all the different questions and question types. Now having been a part of the Coleman Test Prep SAT program, I feel confident with all questions I could encounter on the SAT."

Before joining the Coleman SAT program, I felt a little stuck with performance on the exam. I was scoring the same on practice tests and real exams, and I wasn't seeing improvement even with practice. Marty's strategies helped me to make connections with the problems, and make them more manageable in my opinion. I was able to tackle problems that I was struggling with before, and am feeling more confident going into my next test. After just a few sessions, I took a practice test and noticed my score improve by 70 points, which was very significant to me, as I was feeling stuck in the point bracket that I was previously in!

Before the Coleman Test Prep SAT program I was super tense about the SAT and it was this massive mountain I had no idea how to tackle and I didn't know what to do. In one week of Marty's program, I learned many new tactics and strategies. He taught me to break down problems and gave me many different strategies I've never seen before, and had me attack problems one step at a time. After one week, I saw myself completing problems I had no idea how to do just one week prior. I felt more confident with the SAT and felt like I could actually tackle this mountain, and conquer it.

"Before joining the Coleman SAT program, I was incredibly stressed about the SAT. I knew how crucial the test was, but every time I opened a prep book, I felt lost and unsure of how to make progress. It felt like there was too much to learn, and I didn't have a clear direction. From the very first session, I felt a lot better. Marty's approach to the SAT made everything feel more structured and achievable. His methods for tackling tough questions were straightforward and easy to remember, which made a huge difference in how I approached my practice tests. After my sessions in the program, I could see my scores steadily improving, and I felt much more confident in my ability to handle even the hardest questions. By the end of the program, I felt a lot more confidence in my ability to get a better score! I can't thank Marty and the Coleman SAT program enough for giving me the tools and confidence I needed to succeed."

Before I joined this program, I had no idea how to study for the SAT. The SAT was an exam I've always wanted to take to open up my prospects for the future, but I felt lost and confused as to how I should go about doing my preparations. When I first heard about the program, I joined without hesitation. There, I learned problem-solving techniques, discussed test-taking strategies, and got exposure to tough questions that ended up boosting my confidence. After a few of these sessions, I felt more at ease knowing how to study for the SAT using the approaches that the Coleman SAT Program introduced to me. Not only do I have the skills to navigate around difficult problems, I also gained a sense of confidence and self-efficacy, which is critical in preparing for the SAT.

Before joining the Coleman SAT program, I was pretty unhappy with my score and also did not know ways of studying for specific questions. Marty helped by giving me different methods and help to break down each problem and it helped very much. Just taking 3 sessions made me understand concepts better and boosted my score to something I like now.

Before the program, I did not know how to adjust to the new digital format of the SAT and was struggling with the English sections a lot. In just the first week, I'm improving by applying the new tricks learned.
