Veritas Prep Expands, Launches SAT Prep Course Developed With a Perfect Score Recipient

MALIBU, CA--(Marketwire - Aug 1, 2012) - Veritas Prep announced its expansion into the undergraduate market today with the launch of its SAT prep course, Veritas Prep SAT 2400. With the addition of the SAT course, the company is now the largest global provider of test prep and admissions consulting services. The course was developed with Shaan Patel, Director of SAT Programs at Veritas Prep and one of the few test takers in the world to achieve a perfect 2400 on the SAT, making it the only global SAT prep course created by a perfect SAT score recipient. To date, more than 9.2 million students have taken the new SAT worldwide and fewer than 2,000 have received a perfect score. The course combines Veritas Prep's proven test preparation philosophy and course model with the strategies and techniques that helped Shaan master the exam.

"Ten years ago Veritas Prep's 'think like the test maker' approach to test prep, along with its longer course format and higher instructor standards, revolutionized the way students prepared for the GMAT. A decade later, with the launch of Veritas Prep SAT 2400, we have now reinvented SAT prep," said Chad Troutwine, co-founder and CEO of Veritas Prep. "We built Veritas Prep SAT 2400 on the philosophy that SAT mastery begins with smart strategies. It is not about how much you are able to memorize or your grades in high school. This course helps students achieve their highest possible score."

Following the model the company put in place when it was first founded, in-person and live online Veritas Prep SAT 2400 courses are both longer than competitors' courses -- 36 hours, offering twice as much instruction time -- and require instructors to have scored in the 99th percentile on the exam; the strictest instructor standards of any provider. Additionally, Veritas Prep offers the only zero risk, money-back guarantee in the industry -- if a student's score doesn't go up from a previous official SAT or converted PSAT, they can take the course again at no charge or receive a full refund, no questions asked. No other SAT prep provider refunds tuition without checking attendance and homework/practice test completion.

"Like many students, I struggled with standardized tests in high school. After a disappointing score on my first practice test, I dedicated myself to learning every aspect of the SAT until I finally mastered the exam," said Patel. "Veritas Prep SAT 2400 captures and shares every strategy, method and approach I used to achieve a perfect 2400 and it is designed with the student's perspective at its foundation. Unlike most other courses that use technical language and complex terminology, Veritas Prep SAT 2400 is engaging and makes the information easy to digest and understand."

Every Veritas Prep SAT 2400 course includes:

• 36 hours of instruction, more than twice the length of other courses
• The strictest instructor standards in the industry, requiring instructors to have scored in the 99^th percentile on the SAT
• The only no hassle, zero risk money back guarantee available
• 10 official practice tests -- no provider offers more
• Unlimited access to Veritas Prep instructors
• Veritas Prep SAT 2400 Workbook
• Veritas Prep SAT 2400 Vocabulary Builder
• Immediate online scoring of SAT practice exams and quizzes
• Shaan Patel's best-selling book, SAT 2400 in Just 7 Steps: Perfect-Score Student Reveals How to Ace the Test, published by McGraw Hill
• Full SAT 2400 On Demand HD Online Course Featuring Perfect-Score SAT Instructor Shaan Patel

Last month Veritas Prep celebrated a significant milestone: its ten-year anniversary. Co-founders Chad Troutwine and Markus Moberg met at the Yale School of Management while earning their MBAs and started Veritas Prep after winning several business plan competitions, including Yale's. At its launch, Veritas Prep's flagship classroom GMAT prep course was more comprehensive than others on the market. It was the first of its kind to focus on higher order thinking and to be taught exclusively by instructors who scored in the 99th percentile on the GMAT. The company was also first to create online "on demand" (self-paced) GMAT courses and GMAT mobile apps. To date, Veritas Prep is the only company to assemble a team of admissions consultants representing all of the top 20 MBA programs.

"For the last decade Veritas Prep has been the leader in GMAT Prep and graduate admissions. We are excited to begin this new chapter with our expansion into the undergraduate market," said Troutwine. "We look forward to helping students maximize their score on the SAT -- a crucial step to getting into their college of choice and securing a lucrative scholarship."

Veritas Prep is currently enrolling students in its August, September and October Live Online SAT classes and accepting pre-orders for the Veritas Prep SAT 2400 On Demand HD online course. For more information, visit www.veritasprep.com.
