Summary of features
When compared to our competitors' offerings, Revolution Prep's features stand out as the best.
Point Increase Guarantee
- Highest score improvement guarantee
- If your score doesn't increase by 200 points (250 points for the Hybrid), you can repeat the course for free

Any student who attends all sessions and does all of his or her homework but does not achieve a score increase of at least 200 points (250 points for the Hybrid) can take the Group Course again for free. However, repeating students will not be given new course materials.
Customization and personal attention
- Small classroom environment
- Interactive lecture format
- Individualized homework assignments
Revolution individualizes the experience for every student. We build time into our classes to allow students a chance to ask specific questions about their tests and homework. We also assign customized homework assignments that help students use their time effectively to maximize score improvement.
Innovative technology
- Personal webpage with complete score reports
- Essay snapshots with instructor comments
- Customized error log homework based on problem areas
Each Revolution student is given a login and password with which to access his or her own personal webpage for scores on each of the 5 practice SAT Reasoning Tests* he or she takes. Students are given a complete score breakdown with detailed problem type and difficulty analysis, a snapshot of the essay portion with viewable instructor comments and a weekly customized homework assignment. All of this helps to ensure that students can achieve maximum results with minimum time requirement by identifying and focusing on trouble areas.
The best instructors
- Can ace the SAT
- Are dynamic instructors
- Genuinely care about their students
Most students will tell you that the single most important factor in making any subject interesting is the teacher. That's why Revolution Prep makes it a huge priority to have the best teachers anywhere. Revolution instructors are paid twice the industry average and go through an intensive training program. Further, Revolution is the only company that ensures teacher quality by conducting frequent classroom audits, online surveys, and customer service calls to ensure families are happy with their Revolution experience.
Revolution teachers are NOT "homework helpers" or "talking answer keys." Revolution instructors build students' confidence and help them develop long-term skills, strategies and techniques that are effective on the SAT and beyond.
Half the price of our competition
- Better score improvement guarantee for half the price
- We put kids before profit — idealistic but true
Our competitors act like you pay for what you get when you drop $1000 to take a classroom course with them, but we prove that top quality SAT prep is available for a fraction of the price. Revolution Prep is not a low cost alternative. Revolution Prep offers a better course at a better price. Test prep is a serious business and yet another way that socio-economic divides deepen in the college admission process; we give as many students as possible the opportunity to take an SAT course by keeping our prices low and offering scholarships. Revolution has never turned away a student because of the inability to pay.
The Test Zone®
- Use nervousness caused by the exam to increase intensity, not anxiety
- Overcome the myth of the "bad test taker"
- Develop focus, endurance and intensity
- Learn to avoid the tricks and traps of the SAT
The Test Zone® is a mental state where students feel completely prepared for the exam and are able to use the added pressure of the exam to their advantage rather than their detriment. Revolution Prep is the only major SAT course that coaches students in techniques and practices that help students gain focus, endurance and intensity — in other words, to enter the Test Zone. The SAT is a LONG test, and it recently got longer, making the Test Zone an increasingly important component of success on the SAT.
