Big News, Wizards! PSAT → SAT Season Starts Now

Happy Thanksgiving! With college admissions getting more competitive every year, this season can feel overwhelming — but we’re here to make the path forward clear, strategic, and yes… a little magical.

If your child just took the PSATs and you’re wondering what comes next and how to build an effective SAT plan, we’ve got you covered.

We’re hosting a FREE PSAT Info Session to help parents understand what PSAT results really mean, how they translate to SAT projections, the ideal timing for prep, and how colleges view SAT scores today.

Hi all!

Just when you thought SATs were dead, colleges are resuscitating them. Come join us at Test Prep Wizards for a little wine, cheese, and PSAT breakdown.

This SAT ain't the test you and I took—it's a computerized, adaptive test that can seem insurmountable for the unprepared. Learn about the changes, how to help students prepare, and—GASP—whether you should even have your child prepare for the test.

Nationally recognized and local test prep expert Vinny Madera will answer all your questions about the SAT, PSAT, ACT, and even bad-mouth College Board with you (they are THE WORST).

This is a FREE event, but registration is required. Leave your debit card at home—nothing is being sold. Just free information for our community from a team on a quest to help students.

Is it possible to use a colon to introduce something other than a list? You betcha’! Come learn how the SAT and ACT most frequently test correct colon usage

If you are in the school of thought that colons tell you that a list is coming up, we hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you’re wrong. Come learn how to use colons like an adult (or, at least like a student who is going to crush the SAT and ACT)!
