No firsthand knowledge, but my neighbors swear by Karen Dillard's. Come with a full wallet, leave with an empty one.

3 locations - all conveniently within teenaged driving distance of West Plano, Southlake, and Preston Hollow, respectively, to better serve their "I'll cut someone to get my kid into the Ivy League" clientele.

Wow- not looking for that. Thanks......
Just wishing for a type of short course. Like most districts offer for TAKS testing.

Back in the day (late 90's), I took a Princeton Review course. It was $750 or so back then. Raised my score over 150 points.....definitely worth the money.

You do know the GISD offers a prep course for it. They do it at the SEC. Here is the info for the one from last year. You should still be able to use the same contact info to find out about the one for this year. I've got to get on the ball for this as well.

KD is really good, but it's all about self motivation. The best thing about KD is all the practice tests they have. When I went there, I took every single practice test they offered. My brother on the other hand, took none. Guess who got the higher score

it is expensive though, and im sure it costs even more now than in the past.
