“My two oldest sons have attended the Colloquium Test Prep Course for the SAT for four years now, and with another son in the 6th grade, as a family we will attend for a total of nine years! Lisa Muehle provides dynamic instruction in a clear and comprehensive style. Not only have my sons increased their test taking abilities, their grades in their Honors English and Honors math classes continue to grow stronger. My sons are enthusiastic about the course and always come away with valuable instruction. Lisa’s methods have given my sons the confidence they need to succeed on the SAT. I highly recommend Lisa Muehle’s instruction to students looking to better their SAT scores.”

“The Colloquium Test Prep Course for the SAT offered by Lisa Muehle and her staff is doing a tremendous job in preparing our children for success on the SAT test. With the small group setting and up-to-date materials on the SAT subjects and practice tests, our children are able to learn, practice and develop the critical skills necessary to be successful in taking the SAT test and in applying this knowledge in other academic areas as well.”

This review is from: Strategies for Success on the SAT: Critical Reading & Writing Sections: Secrets, Tips and Techniques for Conquering the SAT from a Test Prep Expert (Paperback)

Now a graduate student at National University, I can highly recommend Lisa Muehle's SAT books for examination preparation. The strategies and practice examples employed in her books were fully applicable to CLEP exams and CBEST exams, which I passed with flying colors! Familiarizing myself with the exam styles and strategies represented in her books gave me a confident `edge' going into the exam rooms. I strongly suggest that any student facing `high-stakes' academic examinations avail themselves of the test training and review offered in Muehle's SAT books.
