Student of the Season
Monique Iuster
Santa Cruz High School
Monique's PSAT score jumped from 1450 to 1800
(350 points)
We can't wait to see how high you can go on the SAT, Monique!!!
"I never thought it was possible for a PSAT class to help so much. After taking the class, I went into the PSAT feeling confident and was able to stay calm through the entire test because of the strategies that Jerilyn and Devon taught me. In addition to a major score increase, Higher Standards is a great choice because I truly don’t dread studying for the SAT anymore."
