SAT 2330, Dec In the beginning of the summer, I had never given much thought to prepping for the SAT - I just assumed that I would take the test once, maybe twice, and settle with that score. Even though all my friends were telling me how great your camp was, I didn't really believe them. But your SAT camp helped me understand the nuances of the exam. The intensive study packets, accountability system and daily sessions made a huge difference. I think, honestly, what matters in the end is how much practice you get. Since we had weekly packets, chock-full with real SAT questions, I [...]

Name: Michelle HSchool: Blair HSGrade: Junior SAT: Oct 2015Critical Reading: 750Math: 800Grammar: 770Essay: 10 When I registered for Dr. Li’s SAT summer camp, I was skeptical about the outcome. I tested myself with SAT practice tests and my scores were consistently between 2100 and 2200. I thought a significant boost of my SAT score was not possible. However, after having heard from many of my friends that went to Dr. Li for SAT Prep generally improve their score by about 200 points, I decided to give it a try. I took two summer sessions of Dr. Li’s camp, one with both math [...]

First Name: Jonathan Z. Grade: 11 School: River Hill HS 800 Math 800 Critical Reading 800 Writing 10 (out of 12) Essay Beeeepp beeeepp! It was the sound of my alarm clock startling me awake at 6:30 AM on the cold Thursday morning of October 22. I quickly ran downstairs and turned on my computer. My hands shaking nervously, I logged onto College Board website and hesitantly pressed “View Scores”. Suddenly time seemed to freeze; mere seconds seemed like a lifetime. A flood of emotions rushed into my brain like a cascading avalanche: fear, hope, nervousness, and curiosity. Finally, the three numbers [...]
Liz C, RM/IB, SAT 2330
Sorry this is so late but I didn't have much time before. My scores were 800 in math, 760 in writing, 770 in reading when I took it in May. Please let me know what the reward is. Thanks. Here is my personal journey: I always thought I was good at grammar simply because I was always correcting my parents’. However, after taking a diagnostic SAT writing section, I was clearly deluding myself. I was doubtful at how much I could learn under a professor at Dr. Li’s summer camp. I mean, how much could I really take in if I can [...]
1580/Nov 16’/VY/RM/IB/Junior
Thanks to Dr. Li’s prep class, I scored a 1580 on the November 2016 SAT, with a 790 in reading/writing, a 790 in math, and a 7/7/7 on the essay.Before I signed up to attend Dr. Li’s summer SAT prep class, I was not confident about my ability to score well on the new SAT. I mainly struggled with the Math section—although the questions required math skills that I had learned in previous years, I lacked experience in seeing past the “tricks” and visualizing the best strategy to use to arrive at the answer. Also, whereas English has generally been one of [...]
1570/Oct 16’/SC/Urbana HS/Junior
With the restructuring of the SAT and my lack of improvement to begin with, I thought I could not possibly score well. I knew I didn’t need a perfect score to enter my dream school of UC Berkeley, but I was not going to score even a 1560, the equivalent of a 2300. Dr. Li’s class gave me the motivation and strategies I needed to improve on the SAT. Since the start of that school year, I had been practicing with prep books, but I always scored poorly on the reading and writing sections. I knew that I was still familiarizing myself [...]

Name: Anuhya P. School: Centennial High School SAT Score: 2300 SAT Math: 770 SAT Writing: 780 SAT Critical Reading: 750 Essay Score: 11 Like many students throughout the nation, I have always been apprehensive about the SAT. Apprehensive might be a euphemism, actually. Terrified, stressed, worried- these emotions are more accurate. The SAT, I’ve been told, is, arguably, the most important test I will ever take in my life. No pressure right? Overwhelmed, and suddenly bombarded by the fact that I was going to have face this dreaded test, I had no idea where to begin my preparation. My parents wanted [...]
The proudest moment of a parent
Hi Doctor Li, Like you said good SAT score worth a lot. My daughter has weight GPA of 4.75 (7 APs) like most students you have. But her SAT 2400 and recommendation from U Penn due to her Gold keys on writing cracks the door open. She got $49,800 scholarship plus $5,000 financial aid from U Penn yesterday. U Penn is her early decision school and it is her dream school. She only applied one and she got it. She also wins National Merit and my employer's scholarships. SAT score 2400 worth total over $240,000 on scholarships and aids alone. It is [...]
