We help Idaho students break 1300+ on the SAT so they are competitive at Boise State, University of Idaho and the schools on their list.
U of I read 12,222 applications and admitted 79.1%. Boise State read 17,582 applications and admitted 83.9%.
Idaho's Department of Education contracts with the College Board to fund a statewide SAT School Day each spring (the 2025-26 window runs March 2 to April 30, 2026), so every public high school junior can take the SAT for free at their own school.
The state spends roughly $1 million a year on this even though Idaho dropped the college-entrance-exam high school graduation requirement starting with the Class of 2022, and no Idaho public university requires a score for admission.
The average high school GPA rose from 3.23 to 3.43 in a decade, and admissions offices know it. When every applicant has an A average, the transcript just gets your teen into the pile. The SAT is the one number that means the same thing at every high school in Idaho, so it is what decides who comes out of it.
Idaho has no statewide SAT-cutoff scholarship; the state's main aid program, the Idaho Opportunity Scholarship, is need-based (70% FAFSA Student Aid Index, 30% GPA) with no test-score component, so score-tied money in Idaho comes from the universities' own merit grids, most of which key off unweighted GPA rather than SAT/ACT.
Idaho's largest and most visible merit grid, Boise State's, deliberately excludes test scores; it runs entirely on unweighted core GPA. This means an Idaho-specific 'money' page should lead with GPA, not SAT score, as the actual lever at the state's biggest school.
Where the money is competitive, the score is one of the few things your teen can still move this year.
I'm Carson, and I founded Florida Test Prep. I grew up 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 one number earned me a spot in an honors college, a Presidential Scholarship, and $81,000 in scholarships.
A couple of years after I graduated I started tutoring on the side in Florida, and our first hundred families came from there. That is where the name comes from. Every class and 1-on-1 has always been live on Zoom, and the SAT is the same test in Idaho as anywhere else, so Idaho families get the same coaching, the same tutors and the same guarantee.
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, built around one teen. Most prep runs every student through the same workbook front to back. We find the exact sub-topics costing your teen points, drill only those, then rehearse under real timing until test day feels routine. 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 keeps repeating. Prep aims only at the weak spots, and you see the numbers every week.
See everything we measureWe are not for everyone. Here is who we do our best work with, and who we are honestly 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 scholarship cutoffs 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.

“We signed up for this course this summer and it was a success. 240 point increase in overall score! I would recommend!”
“Jonathan jumped 200 points, 1020 to 1220, and the weekly texts meant we always knew where he stood.”
“I used Fl Test Prep to prepare for the August SAT and increased my June score from a 1360 to a 1430. I got to have Karina as a tutor!”
We give away more instruction on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram 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 to 60 minutes on Zoom, and you keep the plan either way.

For Boise State, University of Idaho and every college on their list. 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.
