SAT Summer Bootcamp 2021
The Crimson Review Summer Bootcamp is an intensive period of study designed to prepare students for the August 28th SAT exam. Students will learn all the components of the SAT, the strategies, and the content knowledge that they will need to be successful on test day.
Everyone knows how competitive college admissions and scholarships are these days – this program is designed to ensure students reach their goals and have the best choice of schools possible.
See below for details on the program and score guarantee.
*** COVID-19 Update: We are planning on running the course as described below with restricted student numbers, provided regulations allow. This will provide a tremendous opportunity for a small number of students to have even smaller classes. Deposits are fully refundable if the course does not run as described.
What To Look For
When comparing SAT summer programs, it’s important to ask some key questions in helping to make a decision, such as:
- Can the facility keep students safe by following all guidance on COVID? We have reduced student numbers to be able to maintain physical distance at all times, we require masks at all times, and will be disinfecting between classes. Our very first priority is for all students to have a safe and healthy environment to learn in.
- Does the program offer a score guarantee? If so, do they set the baseline from an actual College Board SAT or their own (harder) test? Crimson Review offers a score increase of 250 points or the 98th percentile, and uses only actual tests to give a true picture of student progress.
- Does the program offer small group sizes? We have further reduced our already small class sizes – we will have no more than 6 students in Malvern and 8 students in Wayne in a classroom.
- Does the program use only actual College Board tests (the gold standard), or do they make up their own tests? We use only College Board tests so students know exactly what they will see on test day.
- Does the company specialize in SAT and ACT, or do they offer lots of other tests? Crimson Review is dedicated to these two tests, and our instructors are deep experts. All instructors at Crimson Review scored in the 99th percentile on their own SATs.
- Does the company have a 30+ year track record of helping students succeed? We’ve been helping students do their best on test day since 1986.
Score Guarantee and Course Policies
The not-so-fine print on the score guarantee:
- Students completing the program will increase their test scores by 250+ points or reach the 98th+ percentile
- Score difference is from the initial diagnostic exam given by us (or previous official SAT score) to the score on an official SAT (either August 29th or October 3rd, 2020 tests)
- Students must not have previously taken a test prep program
- Students must attend all classes and complete all assignments. Students who know they will miss at least one class are welcome to still attend the program, but will not be eligible for the score guarantee.
- Students who do not meet their guaranteed score will be eligible for 1-1 instruction to help them achieve their scores on a future test.
- Students who require extended time or other accommodations for the test are welcome to take the course, but will not be eligible for the guarantee.
