We help Florida students break 1300+ on the SAT so they're competitive for UF, FSU, UCF and other top Florida schools. Many also qualify for Bright Futures in the process.
These schools have gotten dramatically harder to get into. UCF alone read more than 37,000 early applications this year, up 16% in a single year.
The second year of Early Action decisions by Undergraduate Admissions marked a 16% increase, with 37,639 Early Action applications.
Of those students, 22,090 students were offered admission Friday, Dec. 5, a 22.5% increase over last year's inaugural launch cycle. This class of applicants represents more than 800 Florida high schools, all 50 states, 44 countries and, on average, hold a 4.35 GPA, 1370 SAT, 30.3 ACT, and 98.4 CLT.
Look at the average GPA of admitted students at every school your teen is applying to. They all clear a 4.0. When every applicant has an A average, the transcript stops separating anyone. It just gets your teen into the pile. The SAT is the one number that still means the same thing at every high school in Florida, so it is what decides who comes out of it.
Bright Futures is a state scholarship with hard SAT cutoffs. There is no partial credit and no appeal. Hit the number and Florida pays. Miss it by ten points and the state pays nothing.
Both tiers also require a weighted GPA and service hours: 3.5 and 100 hours for Academic Scholars, 3.0 and 75 hours for Medallion. Most students clear those. The SAT score is the part that stops them.
The gap between those two rows is 140 SAT points and about $8,000. That is why we treat the SAT as the highest-return thing your teen will do this year.
I'm Carson, and I founded Florida Test Prep. I grew up in Tampa with no college fund, and my first SAT was a 1050. So I built a system for myself. By senior year I scored a 1430, and that number earned me $30,000 in Bright Futures, a spot in FSU Honors, and a very selective Presidential Scholarship. $81,000 in scholarships total, off one test.
A couple of years after I graduated I started tutoring on the side, and that turned into this company. We only work with Florida families, on purpose. Bright Futures pays here, the schools here are genuinely good, and I want every Florida kid to get that experience at UF, FSU, UCF, or wherever their dream school is.
Your teen is coached by career test-prep specialists, not college students working a side job. You get their tutor's direct line, and a written update on your teen's numbers every week.
Three steps, in order, and not one of them is generic. Most prep runs every teen through the same workbook front to back. We find your teen's exact leaks first, drill only those, then rehearse under real timing until test day is boring. That is why our students gain 172 points on average.
Every practice problem your teen touches is measured: the seconds spent on it, the exact sub-topic, and whether the same mistake is repeating. Prep points only at the leaks, and you see the numbers every week.
See everything we measureWe are not for everyone, on purpose. Here is who we do our best work with, and who we honestly are not built for.
Every plan is built around one student. Yours.
Included free with every program. There is more to getting in than a test score, and almost all of it has a deadline. So we run workshops through the year on the parts parents tell us they got wrong the first time. Essays. FAFSA. Scholarship applications. Your family can come to every one.
Bought separately from a college consultant, this runs about $4,500. Here it is part of the program.
We do not print a number here, because the right number depends on your teen. On your free Strategy Session we set the target score together, based on where they are today, the schools on their list, and the Bright Futures tier they are chasing. Then we put it in writing: your teen finishes the program and hits that score, or we keep tutoring them free until they do.
Start the program, and if you or your teen are not happy in the first week, you get every dollar back. One hundred percent, no forms, no argument.

“Kira went from a 1270 to a 1400 and locked in Florida Academic Scholars. The plan just worked.”
“Jonathan jumped 200 points, 1020 to 1220, and the weekly texts meant we always knew where he stood.”
“They know Bright Futures and the Florida schools inside out. We felt guided the whole way.”
We give away more instruction on YouTube than most companies sell. Have your teen watch one free lesson tonight. You'll see the difference before you ever pay us a dollar.
We cover all of this and more on the free Strategy Session: 45 minutes on Zoom, and you keep the plan either way.

For every Florida college on their list, and for Bright Futures on top of it. Not a range, the number.
Built on where your teen is losing points today. Yours to keep either way.
Whether professional prep is even worth it for your kid, or the gap is small enough to close on your own.
This is not a sales meeting. Families take the session, keep the plan, and never sign up. That is fine with us.
