Testimonials

“Just like how their students are more than a score, HCC is more than its record Harvard acceptances and perfect scores. It’s a support system that will cheer students on when they are feeling frustrated about their initial scores and do all they can to help students meet their goals. Before I joined HCC’s college essay program, I didn’t think the schools I got into would be a possibility. But after helping me find my voice and giving me confidence in writing my essays, those competitive schools seemed possible.” – Stanford, Class of 2022

“… I have now accepted the offer at George Washington University, which was one of my dream universities, which was made better with a very generous and prestigious scholarship. I wanted to thank you all so very much to have helped me through this process.” – George Washington, class of 2023

“I want to thank you for supporting and helping me! I don’t know where I would be right now without your help. Excited to be attending the same college as you did!  Thank you so so so much!!!” – Columbia/Julliard, Class of 2023

Test Prep

See why Hamilton is the “#1 test prep service in the country”

Hamilton was the first premier test-prep provider to offer a program that integrates a skills-based approach to test prep – needed to excel on the SAT, ACT, and PSAT.

Improvements

One out of every 8 students who enrolled in our Goal class get a perfect score on the SAT or ACT, and a full 41% of them score in the top 1% on one or both exams.

Perfect Scores

Hamilton has helped more students than any other educational company achieve a perfect score on the SAT or ACT – 119 and counting.

Getting a perfect score on the SAT or ACT isn’t like acing an English test in school. On the SAT, only about 1 in 10,000 students get a perfect score of 1600. It’s a little bit better on the ACT, with about 1 in 1,000 students getting a perfect 36. This means that you’d expect about 1 student per high school to get a perfect score each year. At Hamilton, we pride ourselves in having 40+ of our students get a perfect score each year.  

SAT Improvements

Students enrolled in one of our test-prep or tutoring programs have some of the best improvements of any program.

Students who started with a (P)SAT score of 1200 or lower improved their official score on average by 267 points, and jumped from the 74th to the 92nd percentile.

Students who started with a (P)SAT score of above 1200 improved their official score on average by 166 points, and jumped from the 92nd to the 99th+ percentile.
