In order to qualify for the new Score Increase Guarantee, students must:

• Attend every session
• Complete, on average, at least 80% of the weekly assigned homework
• Complete baseline score requirements before tutoring begins
• Complete at least 2 additional mock tests prior to the official test
• Submit official score reports to info@appelrouthtutoring.com

Students do not need to purchase all their tutoring hours at once to qualify. As soon as a student completes at least 20 hours of SAT or ACT tutoring, they receive the full benefits of the applicable guarantee.

A student's highest official score or ATS mock test result prior to tutoring is considered the baseline for measuring improvement. All ATS mock tests are past official SAT or ACT tests and are not written by ATS. PSAT and PLAN results are useful for estimates, but are not allowable for determining guaranteed results. Decreases in section scores are counted as a zero point increase because colleges only consider the highest scores. Score increases are across all sections of the test. We cannot guarantee higher than 2250 SAT total or 33 ACT composite.

In order to see the full benefit of tutoring, we strongly recommend students take the test for which they are preparing no later than one month after their final tutoring sessions. Read our After the SAT guide for maintaining perspective and implementing practical steps to improve results on the test best suited to the student.

Students who started tutoring before July 1, 2011 are only eligible for the old Score Increase Guarantee.
