I paid MindFish over $2740 for one-on-one tutoring of my senior in connection with the digital SAT. Before hiring MindFish, the score was 1330/June; after hiring MindFish the score was 1380/August and then 1300/October. We were disappointed in the scores after the expenditure of substantial time and a significant amount of money. Friends shared with us similar experiences that their kids had with MindFish. When I asked MindFish if it thought the lack of improvement was because of the new format of the test, it suggested instead that the problem was because we took a 10 day vacation in August (during which time a lot of studying took place) and test anxiety. Who knows why my senior didn't improve, but I wouldn't hire MindFish again.
Their private lessons helped me understand my own mistakes by making the lessons very personalized. Their tutors are very friendly and interesting people that make the lessons go by very quickly without being bored. The lessons allowed to feel more confident when I take the SAT and ACT because I already knew what kind of mistake I was going to make. The online Skype lessons are very useful because I live across the country in California and that the lesson schedules are very flexible. 10/10
I received a 36 on my ACT and a 2280 on my SAT (without super-scoring) and I give full credit to Mindfish for both of these scores.
This program does an excellent job of preparing its students for all aspects of the tests. The tutors are extremely well versed in the subjects and have a level of insight into the tests that is truly remarkable. Thanks to Mindfish, I went into each of the tests knowing exactly how to pace myself, what types of questions to expect, and the areas that I personally would have to concentrate on. The combination of theory and practice that Mindfish uses to prepare its students for the test is, I believe, the most efficient way possible to do so.
To anyone who is serious about succeeding on the ACT, SAT, SAT 2, or any other standardized test, I would recommend Mindfish above other programs (having tried more than one) as the best guide available.
The next level in standardized test preparation.
