We used First Choice College Placement to help our daughter prepare for the HSPT test. The classes were very helpful and got our daughter ready for the test. She knew what to expect when she took the test. They helped her with timing herself to complete the test. Before doing classes at First Choice she could not complete several of the test sections. When she took the test in December she was able to complete all sections of the test. She usually gets very nervous and anxious before taking tests and the classes helped her go into the test with more confidence and feeling more at ease. I would highly recommend them.

We used First Choice College Placement for our two daughters and found the preparation to be excellent. The quality of the instruction and materials was outstanding, and we really appreciated the flexibility and personalized service we received. Our daughter who took the SAT had a 150+ point improvement on her actual SAT even though she had other prep courses before starting First Choice. Our daughter who took the ACT had a 3 point improvement even though she had also done other preparation courses before taking the ACT the first time. Thank you First Choice - we are so proud of our daughters who are at Wesleyan and Yale!

James was the perfect fit for our son. He helped with test prep as well as school selections and the application process. He also helped shape the college essays, as our son was stuck on ideas. James truly cares about his students.

With only 4 tutoring sessions prior to taking the SAT a second time, our daughter's score increased 30 points in critical reading, 90 points in mathematics and 80 points in writing. The tutor was great; he was very patient and encouraging. Being better prepared took most of the anxiety away at the time of the test. We would highly recommend a full session with First Choice College Placement.

Three of my children attended First Choice College Placement for the SAT Prep class. We chose private sessions to accommodate their high school schedules. All of their SAT scores increased significantly after completing the SAT Prep class. The staff was available to review areas of focus and answer any questions I had. I highly recommend First Choice College Placement.

I used First Choice College Placement for my daughter, and it was the best decision we took to ensure she would gain admission in the college of her choice. Her attendance at First Choice College Placement SAT prep classes allowed her to improve on her scores significantly and thus gain admission to Cornell University.James Maroney with his academic background hosts a tremendous knowledge of the colleges and universities. He is ever willing to help with suggestions which are useful to the student. We highly recommend First Choice Placement to students to improve their scores and prepare for college admission in a structured way.

The practice test my daughter took at First Choice College Placement allowed them to be able to target specific areas in need of additional practice.The one-on-one tutoring our daughter received at First Choice College Placement was outstanding. She looked forward to the sessions. She had strong SAT and ACT scores and got in to her first choice college.

Great experience! Our son increased his score over 300 points which made additional scholarships available to him. Jeff helped to motivate our son to work harder.

We had a wonderful experience at First Choice College Placement. First choice made it convenient to schedule appointments and were very accommodating when we needed to change the time. The practice SAT tests given at regular intervals were extremely helpful. My son totally connected with his tutor Malcolm. He was able to motivate my son to study and gave him homework every week to enhance the lessons he was learning. The SAT tutoring was so successful my sons score increased over 400 points!!!I would highly recommend their services and think it was money very well spent. I will definitely use them again when my younger child is ready for SAT tests.
