Prep Expert sells long live online SAT courses with some of the biggest guarantees in the category. The 6-Week Flagship course, its most popular, has 99th-percentile instructors teaching twice a week in 3-hour classes, with exams and homework in between, and includes a 200-Point SAT Score Improvement Guarantee. The 7-Week Founder course is taught by founder Dr. Shaan Patel, an 8-Week Capstone course is also listed, and a Self-Paced Video course and a 12-hour Weekend Review cover other needs. Families can change a live course schedule free before it starts. Prices appear only inside the course finder for each section, so we could not confirm a USD starting price and have marked it pending. Six hours of class per week is a big commitment during the school year.
