SAT Exam Marbella

Incredible American SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) success for one of my private students! I am so very proud of him. Not content with an outstanding 1330 (93rd percentile) on his 1st sitting last spring, he got his head down and resat the SAT this month. Results? An awesome 1430 score, or 98th percentile. WOW!

What does this mean? The SAT is required of every student wishing to attend any legitimate American university worth attending. Of all the test takers on the day — the November test is the one most taken by all students applying to American unis, worldwide, and this date has a crowded field of participants — this young man scored better that 98% of all test takers, and only 1% scored higher. WOW, again!

Statistically, a 5 percentile jump at this rarefied long tail of the curve is unheard of! On most retakes, a student scores ±1 percentile of a previous sitting.

I was not the one taking the test, therefore I am humbled by this young man's achievement: a full 20 percentile increase from his first practice test with me.

Put your hands together, and please wish him all the greatest of success. He is too modest to have his name published here. Every door of the highest in American higher education is well and truly opened to him.

Students, parents and teaching colleagues: This why I do what I do, assisting young men and women of this caliber achieve their very best, and live their dreams.

Let me know if I can help you, or your children, or your students achieve their dreams.
