Schedule and Scheduling
Register Online
- Complete registration form.
- You will enter student availability for class, but it is not a guarantee of actual class times.
- Your registration fee of $250 will be credited toward the course tuition.
Student Takes Online Diagnostic Test
- Diagnostic test results help PrepSquared place your student in a class with individuals of similar ability levels. More here.
- We can use recent SAT or ACT scores, but those scores are for placement. Your student will still have to complete the diagnostic test before class starts as we review the results during the first week.
PrepSquared Emails Schedule
- The Tuesday before class starts, you will receive an email with final class timings, additional logistics, and instructions for paying the course balance online.
- Full payment is required on the Thursday prior to the first day of the program.
- Once full payment is received, it is nonrefundable. No schedule changes will be accommodated after full payment has been received. Please refer to Payment and Refunds here.
Schedule Changes
If you have any changes to your student’s availability chosen on the registration form, you must fill out our SAT/ACT Class Availability Update form ASAP. You can find it here.
Change Deadline
The class schedule is based on what you selected during the registration process (you selected at least three times on your form), along with diagnostic test results and several other factors. Any changes to your original selections must be received by 5pm on the Sunday that is one week before the start of the first class.
Change Fees
Any schedule changes AFTER the schedule has been sent will be subject to a $200 rescheduling fee IF we are able to accommodate them, so please ensure you have filled out the correct availability for your student. Please see information on payments and refunds here.
Logistics
Registration E-mail
After registering, everyone should have received an e-mail (from info@prepsquared.com) with further details about the program, including asking your student to schedule his/her diagnostic test. Sometimes this e-mail is flagged as Junk/Spam/Promotions. Please check your appropriate folders if you didn’t receive it. We can resend it to you if needed.
Diagnostic Test
We will send your student details for the online proctored diagnostic test – a full length SAT or ACT (3 1/2 hour exam). If your student has taken the SAT or ACT recently, we can use those scores for placement, but your student will still have to complete the diagnostic test as we review the results during the first week of class. Scores for all class tests are available via the test portal login.
Publicity
PrepSquared’s social media accounts. You hereby authorize PrepSquared to post any images of your son or daughter on their social media accounts. Further, that your credit card or debit card authorization is also verifiable consent that you are the student’s parent. You
Arrive on Time and No Early Entry
Per our COVID procedures, please ensure your student does not enter the building until their class time. After each class, we wipe down chairs and tables, and we want to prevent students from congregating in our open area.
Pick-up on Time
Please pick up your student on time. To keep everyone safe, do not stop in the middle of the road.
Wear Masks and No Parents
We are not permitting parents to enter the building due to our maximum COVID-19 capacity limits. Students must properly wear a mask at all times except when permitted to eat and drink in the classroom.
Students Must Do Homework
Please ensure your student completes their homework for class and brings in all of their work. In fairness to those who have completed their homework, students who come to class unprepared will be asked to finish the homework in a different room.
Come Prepared for Class
Please also ensure your student brings their PrepSquared BINDER, pencils, and calculator (for math) each class.
Missing Class & Make-Up Classes
A major component of our success is the way in which we group students. This makes missing class and scheduling make-up classes very challenging for us. We require at least 72 hours advance notice to attempt to reschedule a class. Please read our Class Make-Up Policy here.
Full payment for the course must be received prior to the first day of class. Students will not be admitted to class if there is an outstanding balance.
Communication
General Communication
Your primary contact for any program question is Communications & Operations Director Cali Moorman (cali@prepsquared.com). If you contact her, please allow her at least 24 hours to respond. Each tutor’s email address will be provided with your student’s schedule. It is your responsibility to test download and test the Zoom app prior the parent meeting. Parent meetings will not be rescheduled.
Parent Meetings & Feedback
We will send out details about virtual parent meetings after Week #5. Until then, we have a messaging system that allows tutors to send you one-directional feedback, if needed, during the entire program. If your student’s tutor would like to speak to you before the parent meeting, s/he will provide information. If you have concerns about your student’s performance during the course, please contact your student’s tutor via email.
Check-in with Your Student
By registering for this course, you are making a considerable investment in your student’s future. Please check in with your student frequently regarding homework, mid-terms results, and how they’re feeling about the course. The earlier we are made aware of concerns, the sooner we can address them!
We use real SAT exams for our practice tests. Why? Because we want students to get comfortable with what they will experience when they sit the formal exam.

Payments and Refunds
Small Group SAT/ACT Test Prep
- At time of registration, a $250 deposit will be collected.
- The $250 deposit will be credited toward the total program tuition, provided you do not cancel your registration.
- After the diagnostic test is taken, but one week before the first class of your program, you may cancel your registration, but you will be refunded only $100 of the $250 deposit.
- Once the final class schedule is sent, the $250 deposit will become nonrefundable. NO deposit refunds will be issued after this date, even if you transfer to a different program date.
- The balance of your tuition is due the Thursday immediately prior to the first class of the program. NO refunds for any portion of your deposit or tuition will be issued following receipt of this payment.
NOTE: When filling out your registration form, please be thoughtful when you check your student’s three (3) availability options. They play a critical role in our scheduling process, which is designed to take both your student’s availability and diagnostic test results into account.
Our tutor knew that my daughter knew the material, but somehow it wasn’t coming through on the practice tests. He worked backward with her to find the missing link. She began to see success on the practice tests before she took the real SAT. She went into the SAT feeling confident and her score went up 200 points!
