This program really helped a lot. Clay was a nice guy overall and although the class took up basically all of my last 6 weekends, it will be worth it when I get a good score on the SAT. The only problem I had with this program had to do with the essays. Me and many others who took this program aren't taking the essay section on the SAT. In my opinion, and from what I have heard from others who took the program as well, the essays should be an optional part of the program and it shouldn't be required. It makes the guarantee very difficult to get when the program assigns you essays to do that you don't have to do since some aren't taking it. Otherwise this program was a great experience and I hope it pays off on the real test.
