The 1500 LabOur guarantee
The 1500 Guarantee
We don’t take every student. The free assessment is where we build your teen’s plan to a 1500, and where we both find out honestly whether we’re a good fit. If we take your teen on, the promise goes in writing.
The terms, plainly
Every student we take is guaranteed a 1500, in writing. Hit it, or your money back.
The assessment is where the plan gets built. We look at where the points are going and map out what it takes to get your teen from their score to a 1500.. the timeline, the intensity, all of it. If we don’t think we’re the right fit, we won’t take you on.
All we ask is that your teen does the work.. attend the sessions, finish the plan, sit the SAT.
Why can we promise the same number for every student? Because the plan is built per student. The timeline, the frequency, the intensity, all of it adjusts to your teen’s starting point and their schedule. The only thing that doesn’t move is where they end up.
Why we can put it in writing
The guarantee is arithmetic.
A 1500 allows six or eight wrong answers across the whole test. So we don’t hope your teen improves.. we count. Your teen sits one full SAT, all 98 questions, and we sort every wrong answer into the leak that caused it: Concept Gaps, The Setup, Misreads, Traps, Execution Slips, The Clock, Nerves, or Fatigue. Then we close them biggest first.
Once the leaks are counted, the score stops being a guess. That’s what makes the guarantee possible, and it’s why the assessment happens before you commit to anything. If we don’t think we’re a good fit.. the runway, the schedule, the timing.. we tell you that, and we don’t take you on.
Your side of the deal
We ask three things, and only three.
Your teen attends the sessions. They finish the plan. They sit the SAT inside the program window.
If they do the work and the score doesn’t come, that’s on us, and you get your money back. If the work doesn’t happen, the guarantee doesn’t apply. We say that up front because you deserve the terms in plain writing rather than in fine print. We hold up our end and we ask your teen to hold up theirs.
What the guarantee buys you
Certainty. By junior year the transcript, the activities and the essays are mostly built, and for most families we work with the score is the one piece still missing. The guarantee exists so that fixing it isn’t a gamble. You’re not paying to find out whether the score can move. You already know, in writing, what happens if it doesn’t.
