Why study via text messaging? Trust us: you'll study more because it's text messaging. People read nearly 97% of the texts they receive, which means that, when we text you a practice question, you'll read it, and when you read it, you'll probably answer it. In addition, unlike tutors or test prep books, your phone is always with you, so you can pull out your phone and legitimately study whenever you want.
Will smsPREP work on my phone? Is it an iPhone app? Yes, smsPREP will work on your phone! People often ask us if smsPREP is an iPhone app, but it isn't--in fact, it's not an app at all. The service works through text messaging, which is available on any phone. You can text SMSPREP to the number 41411 right now and check it out.
Do you have an iPhone app? Not at this time. We could easily develop one, but one of our core beliefs is that students study more when they are reminded to study. Apps are pull-based, meaning students study on an app only when they remember to do so. smsPREP is push-based, meaning students never have to remember to study!
Is it guaranteed to boost my score? YES!! We offer the best guarantee in the business, one that's a lot more comprehensive than a narrow score guarantee. If you are not 100% satisfied with smsPREP, we'll give you your money back. So if your score gain isn't enough, or if texting isn't for you, you'll receive a full refund. It's that simple.

But how does it boost my score? The two biggest hurdles to boosting your score are finding time to study and familiarizing yourself with the test. We help you find time to study by adapting to your schedule: you tell us when you might be free, and we’ll text you only at those times. If that's not enough, you can always text us for more questions at any time. We familiarize you with the test by giving you helpful test-taking strategies, question explanations that help strengthen your weak areas, and lots and lots and lots of practice.
How does this compare to other test prep services? In short, smsPREP is a supplement, not a comprehensive test prep service like the courses or tutoring you've seen elsewhere. The thing is, even with those other services, the only way to improve is with practice. Most students don't have the time--in addition to long courses or tutoring sessions!--to do their test prep homework. That's where smsPREP comes in: we fill the gaps in your test prep. We enable you to get in that extra practice without busying your schedule.
What kinds of materials does smsPREP send? In a nutshell, all kinds. Our team of professional SAT/ACT tutors, expert test-takers, and seasoned educators has created materials to help you learn, review, and test your knowledge. We offer the following delivery modes:
Is my personal information secure? Yes. smsPREP takes your privacy seriously. We do not rent or sell your personal information to anyone, and your account information, including credit card, is always kept secure. You can read more about our extensive privacy policy here.
What if I forget to use smsPREP? You won’t; you can’t. Every day you will have a reminder to study just waiting for you in your text inbox.
What if I don't have an unlimited text message plan? smsPREP makes every effort to limit the number of texts you receive. We do not spam, and we send you study materials only at the times you select or when you prompt us for more materials. On average, our customers send and receive a total of 10 messages (~3 questions) per day on smsPREP, but you can always study more or less depending on your needs. Standard text messaging rates from your carrier apply. Have any other questions? Contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
