Double800 was a great experience for our
school. We contracted with Micah (after interviewing Double800,
Kaplan & Princeton Review) to teach a group of our juniors and
seniors -- and the results were amazing! The increase in SAT
scores for seniors was as much as 260 points; and the increase
in PSAT scores for juniors qualified several as National Merit
Scholars. Even
better was the increase in confidence we saw. Students who took
the class broadened their college horizons, and we have seen
more applications to selective colleges and universities than we
at first expected.
Thank you, Micah! We will definitely continue to recommend you
to our students.

high school, per Newsweek Magazine, 2008
We are most appreciative of the outstanding
educational value that Double800 provided to our two children
during their high school years. The program's leadership is
first-class and we are grateful for their keen attention to our
children's success.
Following on their achievements on the PSAT
and SAT, our son attended Northwestern University and
subsequently Oxford University, England, as a Marshall Scholar,
and our daughter was a National Merit Scholarship Finalist and
attends the University of Arizona as a Flinn Scholar. We credit
Double800 for having played a most important role in their paths
to academic success.

The secret to success on the SAT's isn't a
secret at all. Just register for the Double 800 prep course,
learn the concepts for each subject, and complete and review the
official practice tests. The class provides a practical,
tools-based approach that takes the fear out of "the big test",
and replaces that fear with actual skills, techniques and
confidence that boost SAT test scores.
My oldest daughter vastly improved her
scores after participating in the Double 800 program, where she
received honest-to-goodness personalized attention. As a result,
she was accepted into her dream school, a very competitive top
college. My youngest daughter will also be attending the Double
800 course later this year, and I'm recommending it to everyone
I know who is beginning to think about the college admissions
process.
Double 800's record of helping kids boost
their scores speaks for itself, but if you still have questions,
give Micah a call. He's accessible, knowledgeable, and he's
thrilled to help.

Dear Micah, Just wanted to inform you that our daughter Ria took
the SAT test on Oct 9 and she got a score of 2310 (Math-770,
CR-740, Writing-800)!
Thank you for teaching her some great test-taking strategies!
She certainly benefited from attending your class and you have
my highest endorsement.
Arun Dagupta, father of Pinnacle High School junior

My son's scores improved from the 180s on the PSAT to 2220 on
the SAT after he took the Double 800 course. He feels that
through the explanation and review of the test sections and
questions, the program took the mystery out of the test and made
it into something that could be broken down and attacked. Micah
was very helpful to both of us, and my son benefited from his
intelligence and his calm, easy teaching style. With the SAT
scores he achieved after taking this class, my son was able to
gain acceptance to Vanderbilt University, where he now attends.
Tamara Slagis, mother of Catalina Foothills High School graduate

I am writing to express our deepest thanks for the enormous
impact you had on our son. Our son, Don, was an “A” student
throughout high school, but did not fare especially well on
standardized tests, thus our decision to enroll him in your
class at the Tucson JCC.
To make a long story short, his scores increased by some 25% at
the conclusion of your class. We were so impressed by these
results that we enrolled him in a second class at Double 800.
His scores increased by another 10%.
Our son applied to 20 schools and was accepted by 19 of these,
including Yale (where he currently attends), Stanford,
Dartmouth, Brown, Duke, Rice and numerous others. He—and
we—attribute this in large measure to the tools and test-taking
strategies he learned in your world-class program. So impressed
are we by your program that we recently enrolled our daughter, a
high school junior, in her first (of what will be several)
Double 800 programs.
To paraphrase our son, you are an “awesome” teacher, incredibly
“kind and patient,” with an “amazing ability make the intangible
tangible.” Speaking for myself, I have been incredibly
impressed by your world-class customer service and
communication.
Any parent of a college-bound child would be remiss in not
enrolling them in your program. My wife and I view your program
as the greatest academic gift we have given our son. I
recommend your program in the strongest possible terms and
without reservation.

I took the Double800 course right before my PSAT, and I couldn't
be happier with that result. Because of the course, I reached a
perfect score of 240, up 31 points from my sophomore year score!
I took the SAT I the next month and was very pleased with that,
too. I scored 2260 overall: 790 in math, 780 in critical
reading, and 690 in writing.
The best part of the class for me was the structured approach
that went section by section, with many practice problems. The
course gave me the means and incentive to practice all parts of
the test, which I found was the secret to improving my scores. I
don't know what the SAT inventors were thinking when they
claimed students couldn't study for their little "reasoning
test." Double800 was a really smart choice. And now, because of
my scores, I have many great scholarship opportunities.
K.C., Catalina Foothills High School junior

Hey Micah! It was nice to see you at the College Fair. Sorry it
took me so long to get back to you, but here are my SAT scores
from the March test:
Math: 800; Critical Reading: 700; Writing:
770 (perfect 80 score on multiple choice). I was also a
National Merit Scholarship winner. Thanks for all the help!
K.A.S., Salpointe Catholic High School senior

I scored a 2250 on the SAT and a great
deal of credit goes to the Double-800 Class. I would say that I
improved the most in the writing section due to the class. On
the SAT, I received a perfect 800 on the Writing Section.
Micah helped significantly in the writing
multiple choice sections and especially the essay - on which I
scored the maximum 12, thanks to him! I strongly recommend
taking this class both for PSAT and SAT preparation. I also
improved my score on the PSAT from 198 to 221, which qualified
me as a National Merit Semi-finalist.
I urge all people who are thinking about
taking the class not to hesitate in making the decision. Even
though I was initially skeptical, thinking a prep class would
probably not help me much, Double-800 turned out to be extremely
influential in getting both the 2250 and the 221.
A.T., University High School junior

Hi Micah, I just wanted to thank you very much for your time and
effort in the SAT class; it was well worth my time. I got a 2270
on the test! Thanks again.
C.P., BASIS Tucson senior

After hearing excellent
reviews about the Double800 program, I enrolled my son who had never been
a strong standardized test-taker. When he received his scores
(720 Writing, Essay 11, 710 Reading. 680 Math) we were
thrilled! This was honestly the best $600 I have ever spent; an
investment that will pay dividends for years to come. Warm
Regards,
T. L., mother of Catalina
Foothills High School junior

I'm so glad I took the Double 800 prep course. Thanks to the
program, I have many more opportunities for admission to
competive colleges. (2020 composite score.)
A.A., Catalina Foothills High School senior

Because of Double800, I felt confident when I walked into the
test room, and I felt just as good when I walked out. The course
taught me techniques
that definitely boosted my SAT and PSAT scores (2270 and 223)
and qualified me as a National Merit Scholarship Finalist.
G.S., BASIS Tucson junior

The Double800 course was very helpful as
Micah gave me great tips on how to approach the test. My PSAT
score improved to 216 (perfect 80 on Critical Reading), and I
received a composite SAT score of 2100.
N.R., BASIS Tucson junior

Hi, Micah! I scored a 2260 on the November SAT and my math score
increased from a 610 to a 760. I really appreciate all your
help!
R.G., Salpointe Catholic High School
senior

Hi, I just received my scores from the
October SAT: 1340 overall, with a 650 verbal and a 690 math.
(89% and 92%). I received a 650 on the essay portion, equivalent
to 90%. I wanted to get above a 1300 because I knew that was the
average score for entrance into the U of A Honors College. The
double800 class really gave me a lot more confidence about the
test. Thank you for a great experience.
M.W., Salpointe Catholic High School Junior

I chose DOUBLE 800 over the national
programs for two reasons. First, I suspected that a reputable
local boutique would be more motivated to get results than a
national firm or a high school resource. Second, I interviewed
the instructor and was impressed with his understanding of the
subject and ability to communicate. I was delighted with the
program and my son's scores! (2030; 710 W, 700 M, 620 R)
