“My SAT preparation with Maine Prep was absolutely top notch, and the testing techniques that I learned helped my scores improve to the point where my first choice, Brown University, became a feasible possibility. Jack was a patient, engaging, and incredibly experienced tutor, and Dugan’s first-rate instruction helped me improve my math score significantly. I would recommend Maine Prep to anyone seeking to improve his/her standardized test score. Learning how to take the SAT or ACT is so important for many students, and Maine Prep tailors all test approaches to individual skills. All in all, I couldn’t have asked for a better test prep experience. “
