Testimonials

Amanda, former Test Preps instructor and full-time working mom

Praise for Test Preps: Test Preps makes it easy. My daughters are great students, but I don’t want to be the one nagging them to prepare for a big scary test. It’s way easier to remind them to do their SAT/ACT homework than it is to figure out what they should study! You’d think since […]

Proud Parents | Amherst, NY

Our daughter, who is academically motivated, scored a 26 on the ACT and a 1250 on the SAT without any prep. A good start, but we were confident that she could do better. She figured she’d take another SAT but Melissa Cook, Test Preps’ owner, advised us to focus on the ACT instead. Our daughter […]

Gary and Barbara | East Amherst, NY

Our son is an outstanding person, but historically only received average grades in school. We always knew he had the ability to do better and at times were frustrated with his failure to meet his full potential. That all seems to have changed when he took the Test Preps SAT course. He scored over 1300 […]

Andrew | Starpoint High School

I worked privately with a tutor for the ACT and boosted my score from a 21 to a 25! I will be attending Niagara University majoring in business with a $21,000 scholarship thanks to the help of Test Preps!

Joe | Elma, NY

My daughter is an above average student, taking primarily AP level courses. She took the SAT on her own, without a prep class, and did not perform as well as she and I expected. So I interviewed the heads of several possible programs but came away very impressed with Melissa Cook’s approach to the exam, […]

Kira | Williamsville South High School

The SAT Course I took with Test Preps was an extremely beneficial experience. Let’s face it, tests aren’t fun which makes the SAT even more of a grueling feat. But with the help of Mrs. Cook and her truly wonderful instructors, the mental gymnastics of preparing for this daunting test seemed suddenly very manageable. With […]

Joan and Gary | Williamsville, NY

Time has been speeding by and our son will be leaving home for college in a few short months. We didn’t want to let another day pass without letting you know how pleased we were with his experience with you in preparing for his SATs! After completing your course, his first score of 1250 was […]

Cydney | Amherst High School

I have never been much of a standardized test taker and I was really nervous to attempt the SAT. Working with Melissa changed all that for me! There was so much individual attention, which you rarely get at other SAT classes. When we broke the test into sections, it really helped me identify my strengths […]

Dan and Sandy | Williamsville, NY

Our son was an above average student in the Advanced Regents sequence but his PSAT indicated he would fall into the average range of scores on the SAT. We contacted Melissa Cook for consultation and direction. She placed our son with a terrific group of kids with similar goals and aspirations. The students found Melissa […]

Jeff | Clarence High School | Clarence, NY

I really enjoyed the Test Preps SAT course because it helped me become more aware of how to take the SAT and why certain questions are better off unanswered. The team of great teachers divided us into groups. Each group would focus on a particular skill – Critical Reading, Writing Skills, Vocabulary, or Math. We […]
