The Tale of Two
High School Graduates

Two students walking into their future


On a beautiful late spring afternoon, two young graduates walked across
the stage and received their high school diplomas.

Both were high school athletes, both were great students in advanced classes,
and both were ambitious for the future.

But one of them was going to the college of their dreams on a scholarship
and the other was disappointed when he thought about the fall.

Have you ever wondered what makes this kind of difference in a student’s life?

What Made the Difference?

It isn’t native intelligence or desire or dedication.

It isn’t that one student wants to succeed and the other doesn’t. 

The difference is in a few key choices…

The difference is one student recognized the power of a great result on an important test.

The difference is one student prepared for their big college-entrance exam using the right material - and the other did not.

I am the other student...

How do we know the sting of performing poorly on the big test?

Because I was the other student. I was the student that chose the wrong test prep
and bombed the exam and went to my second choice college. 

You see, as a Junior in high school, I enrolled in a popular online test prep course (that I promise you've heard of).

I hated it so much that I quit after 2 days. And I actually got worse at the test.

And you know the most painful part?

The most painful part was NOT the rejection letter I got from the school with the iconic emblem.

The worst part was giving up, failing to improve, and wondering if I could have achieved more.

That's why - of all things - I started a test prep company with online courses.

Test Prep unlike any other

It is amazing how a simple choice as how to prepare for a test can fundamentally alter the direction of a student’s life, but that is exactly what happens. 

You see, test prep is not school. Test prep is not about learning a new academic skill. It’s not even about answering thousands of questions…

Test prep is about learning the test - and how to get as many questions correct as possible. 

And that is what Classic Test Prep is all about - getting the best results on the CLT exam.

The Best Investment to Make

Put us to the test with our Classic Test Prep Guarantee.

If you are not satisfied with your score. If you did not improve by at least 5 points - we will give you a full money-back guarantee refund. 

And those 5 points can be worth thousands - or even tens of thousands - in scholarships for the dream college.

What Makes us Different

Real
Preparation

This isn't school.

Some test prep programs try to be your reading, grammar, and math teachers.

We're your test tutors.

If you need to learn something about reading, grammar, or math to improve your score, we'll teach you.

But we're here to prepare for the test.

Don't take this the wrong way. We love deeply meaningful education.
Great books. Beautiful science. Inspiring music, art, and history.

But that's not what you came to our website for. And it's not what we're going to give you.

If you want a better CLT score, you came to the right page.

Death by a Million Practice Questions

You do NOT need to take a million practice questions that cover every topic, even those you may not see on test day.

In fact, taking too many practice questions, especially when you can't see how they fit into the context of a full test, can be detrimental.

But you do need to take some practice tests.

Every single question you'll be asked to answer in our Study Guide is a realistic test question.

And, in order to unlock your Money-Back Guarantee, you only need to answer a total of 360 questions, all in the context that you would see them in on test day.

If you want to practice more, great!

There are more (optional) questions for you.  

Energizing Path to Success

Once enrolled in the Study Guide, you will always know how much you have completed and how much you have left.

And you'll know exactly why you're taking the lessons you're taking.

Then, you can have the support of a real human being to answer your questions, reinforce the things you have learned, encourage you, and keep you accountable on your path to success.

You're not alone in this.

And your path is clear.

Complete the Verbal Reasoning, Grammar & Writing, and Quantitative Reasoning Study Guides, as well as One Full CLT Practice Test, and you'll unlock our Money-Back Guarantee, which you can read about below! 

Introducing the CLT Study Guide

Our Approach

1. Understand the Test

For each section of the test (Verbal Reasoning, Grammar & Writing, and Quantitative Reasoning), we help you determine the strategy that is best for you, understand what question types you will be required to answer, and learn how to approach those question types.

The CLT emphasizes critical thinking - which really means solving problems that you haven't seen before - more than other standardized tests.

Here's the problem: it's difficult to think critically when you don't know what to think about.

We can't tell you exactly what the questions will be on test day, but we can show what kinds of questions there will be.

That way, when the "problem you haven't seen before" shows up, you'll have a plan for answering it.

You can think of this section as the Tips, Tricks, and Strategy portion of the Study Guide.

2. Learn More

Tips and Tricks alone won't get the job done.

Next, you need to learn Real Material - like how to use commas, semicolons, and parallel structures - in order to maximize your score.

We're not going to go over every single detail you may have missed in school. Just the most common, most important concepts from each section of the test that you will certainly see on test day.

And we'll give you Frameworks that help you think through questions on the test.

Here's an example of a framework you will learn that will help you on the CLT: "False or Irrelevant." 

On the Verbal Reasoning section, every incorrect answer is either False or Irrelevant, which means the incorrect answers either contradict the facts of the passage or do not answer the question that is being asked.

These frameworks will help you answer every question on the CLT with confidence.

3. Practice

Finally, it's time to practice what you've learned.

In order to unlock your Money-Back Guarantee, take the practice tests at the end of each section of the Study Guide (Verbal Reasoning, Grammar & Writing, and Quantitative Reasoning) and the Full Length CLT Practice Test.

There are 360 total practice questions you MUST take to unlock your Money-Back Guarantee. (That's 3 total CLT Practice tests, broken into bite-sized chunks, then one full-length test.)

Additionally, there are 2 Optional Full-length Practice Tests, if you would like more practice.

How does the Study Guide work?

There are 3 studying options: 

1. Self-paced Online Course
2. Online Course + Live, Online Group Tutoring Sessions
3. Online Course + One-on-One Live, Online Tutoring

Self-Paced Online Course

The self-paced Online Course allows you to make progress on your schedule.

Online Course + Online Group Tutoring

In addition to all of the content in the CLT Online Course, you will have access to two optional, Live Online Group Tutoring Sessions per week conducted by our CLT Tutors.

Join the Group Tutoring sessions to ask questions about lessons, practice tests, and strategies.

Learn from the questions that other students are asking AND ask your own.

You can join these meetings at your convenience and leave once your question is answered!

Online Course + One-on-One Tutoring

In addition to the CLT Online Course and access to the optional Group Tutoring Sessions, get one hour of one on one tutoring per week for 5 weeks.

Your tutor will prepare for each session by reviewing the work you have done in the Study Guide, so you are both ready to make the most out of the session!
