(Yes even if your starting score is 900)
With hundreds of SAT companies all offering "guaranteed" results, it's safe to say the promise has become well saturated and almost lost its meaning, but after interviewing more than 30 of the most popular prep programs we noticed it always comes down to one of two things:
- They offer a money-back guarantee that is almost impossible to qualify for and is nearly never repaid in full
- They offer unlimited hours of tutoring but have a capped number of hours in the fine print or they provide big group sessions that are practically free for them to give away
In short, it oftentimes is just a gimmick, leaving you disappointed and scrambling to look for another tutor, while being stuck in a seemingly endless and expensive loop of frustration and disappointment.
It does not have any restrictions. Simple as that.
You get UNLIMITED hours of tutoring for an UNLIMITED duration of time. Whilst we have a structured and systematic approach personalized for every student specifically, that usually lasts 12 weeks, we know every student is different. That's why we do not set a cap on the number of hours or duration of the program.
Whilst most companies ensure they never see red, we are so confident in our program, that if it does not produce the desired results, we are willing to lose money in order to fulfill our promise.
We are one of the only (if not the only) companies that take on the risk for you, which is a testament to our complete confidence in the program.
The harsh reality is that we cannot get every student a 1500 score. After helping over 8000 students we noticed that the top 2 reasons they don't get the desired score are:
As simple as it sounds, surprisingly a lot of students don't fit this criteria. That's why we created our 2-step qualification process:
1. Book a meeting, where our counselor will provide you with all the details of the program whilst assessing the student. If we think the student is a good fit then you unlock the second step.
2. After our counselor has assessed that the student qualifies then you unlock the 7-day opt-out trial. With this trial you can first try out the program and see if we actually deliver on our promises, but most importantly, here is where we see if the student is listening to the tutors and doing the assigned work.
If they aren't and we don't think we can deliver the desired results then we won't waste your time and you get a full refund. If we however see the student is ready to put in the work, then congratulations, you have not unlocked the full guarantee of the program, and we will provide unlimited resources until the desired score is achieved, without ever asking for a single dollar extra.
To score in the 99th percentile you don't need some generic strategy, you need a specific strategy tailored towards you specifically. That's why we start off by identifying the weaknesses of the student so we can get a clear picture of what we even have to focus on. We then keep readjusting based on the progress the student makes, until we reach the desired score.
Once we know the weakness, half of the battle is finished. Now we just have to teach our proven solutions to the problem and watch the score increase. We provide every resource imaginable, from 1 on 1 tutoring, group tutoring, content bootcamps, proctored exams, homework, etc.
After that, we rinse and repeat and typically we see the dream results within 3 months. But what if we don't? Well, then we will keep on working with you for free until you do. Unlimited hours, unlimited time, no catch. We are confident with making this promise because we know that if the student follows our lead it won't take longer in most of cases.
It's necessary to understand the actual content and have a good understanding of it, however, it usually gets you up to a 1200/1300 score. You will never achieve a 1500 score by only knowing the content but it is a necessary baseline. Delivered through bootcamps and classes, where students review and master all the necessary material to succeed on the SAT/ACT. Not every student needs to go over all the content, hence we always personalize and fill in the gaps. We have a curriculum that can teach all the content necessary, giving the ability to even some middle schoolers to take the SAT.
This is the biggest focus of our program. If a student is stuck at a certain score then just taking more practice tests and learning more of the content won't help. Once you have a baseline we focus on applying that knowledge and teaching you how to answer even the hardest of questions with accuracy and consistency. We don't focus on "tips and tricks" that only apply in some scenarios, as it only causes confusion in the student. We focus on tangible and reliable methods that can be used in every condition.
A lot of students know all of the content and know the strategy, but they run out of time. That's why after they are consistently answering questions with accuracy we then introduce the timing element. With some extra strategy and practice we not only get them up to speed, but we get them used to the pressure element of the SAT, by making them practice in a simulative environment we call proctored exams.
To guarantee the results we have to personalize the approach for every single student. A student who has a 900 score and has not started studying will obviously require more support than a student looking for a 100 score improvement.
Our goal is to make good education affordable for every student, but good results are rarely the cheapest option. We do however always work with the customer and offer flexible payment options, ensuring the price is never a roadblock to your student's educational future.
To avoid overpaying schedule a meeting with one of our counselors where you will get all the details of the program alongside the personalized package and price.
If however, you just want a rough estimate, the investment usually ranges anywhere from 1.6k up to 3.5k. If that's out of your budget we understand, but ask yourself, what's the alternative?
You could:
- Let the student study by themselves and make them maneuver the confusing and overwhelming SAT space looking for study material, risking lower performance academically and in other areas, increasing stress and uncertainty, while inevitably taking a longer time, and after potentially years of work and still a low score start looking for a prep program again, just now with less time on your hand and with less motivation from the demoralized student.
- Go with a cheap program, allowing you to save money upfront, but always having to check in with the tutors, keep the student accountable, stress about making the wrong decision, and finally be disappointed when you don't see sufficient progress after months of effort, leaving you to start looking for another program all over again, repeating the cycle once more, while having less time with each attempt, more money being spent, but most importantly leaving the student doubting in their abilities to even get a good score
- Or you could make the investment into a good premium program upfront and avoid all of those headaches. Sure it's a bigger investment upfront, but at least you can rest that your child is getting the best support posible and knowing that you won't have to spend a single dollar more on the SAT no matter what. The ironic part is that this is the also the cheapest option in mijority of the time.
So, if you're tired of endlessly searching the confusing online space of prep programs, always concerned you'll get scammed or overcharged, then make sure to schedule a meeting with one of our counselors where we will give you all the information you need to make the right decision at the end.

The 1:1 sessions have only 1 student. With other group sessions and bootcamps, we never surpass 3-8 students per class. t is important to keep the class sizes small as there is a lot of interaction during the class.
We maintain accountability through a combination of key elements within our program, These include:
-Live interactive classes
-Weekly 1:1 sessions
-Daily homework
-Weekly feedback
-Continuous access for parents to the founder of the program
These components create a structured and supportive learning environment that encourages students to stay on track with their studies and meet their target scores easily.
Troughout the process we make sure to always check work and communicate with the parents.
Our direct contact with students allows us to identify common problems and respond proactively. When they notice several students struggling with a particular subject, they organize specialized seminars and support sessions to address those needs.
At Kyo Standard, we believe that daily actions are the key to achieving long-term success. We make sure that students work on homework assignments every day, which encourages them to engage with our curriculum on a consistent basis. This not only helps to establish a daily routine but also reduces the anxiety they may feel about upcoming tests and exams.
We then track progress with our proctored exam, and readjusting if we do not see sufficient progress. We don't wait months, if there is no progress on a weekly basis we will take action.
