I can definitely say my son's tutor made the difference in his SAT score. Sam worked 1-on-1 whenever he needed it using the online function and then did the quizzes and everything else on his own time. This way he could do the material when he wanted and then ask the tutor about problems he didn't understand. just make sure you take advantage of having a personal tutor! sometimes we would forget!
The great thing about PrepMe is that it allows you to use all the features at your own pace and to your own advantage. If you think you work best on your own, then use the personalized schedule to complete lessons and quizzes. If working closely with someone helps you figure out a difficult concept, talk with the tutors every night online. Phone tutoring is another great option for that. Just find your style and increase your score!

you should make sure you talk to the tutors when they're online. It's much easier than using email and they are really nice and helpful! If there's ever a quiz question you don't get or you want to talk about your essay, the live chat is great.
Every quiz and test has these answer explanations you can get to if you review your score. They're really awesome and can explain any question you got wrong, so there shouldn't be a single question you don't understand! I just go through all the questions i got wrong and it tells me why, then i know i will never get them wrong ever again!
I just like to look at the lessons and then take the quiz for each lesson to make sure I understand the material. This is a perfect way to make sure you know everything from each lesson.
we added 10 hours of phone tutoring to our course. I've used a few of them chatting with my tutor and it's just like the online time except it's easier to talk about more complex issues. I think it's really good for my essays because we can just discuss them and my tutor gives me pointers that i use next time!!@
