How Educo’s Precision Approach Helped Jacob Jump 180 Points in 4 Days

The Problem

Disorganized, inefficient tutoring hindered Jacob's progress on the SAT

Jacob struggled for months to achieve meaningful score gains, cycling through three different SAT tutors from two separate test prep companies. These tutors often caused more confusion than clarity, leaving Jacob frustrated, overwhelmed, and unmotivated. Educo provided the prioritization and clarity Jacob needed to streamline tangible improvement.

“The quality of these tutors was all over the place. One would tell him to prioritize reading comprehension skills, the other insisted he memorize vocab. Educo stepped in and not only provided clear advice but actually backed their advice up with evidence from the College Board and their students.”

The Solution

A Precise, Data-Driven Process for Short-Term Score Improvement

Educo transformed Jacob's approach to SAT preparation by delivering clear, prioritized, and data-backed recommendations. Instead of overwhelming him with generic strategies, Educo closely analyzed Jacob's entire testing history to pinpoint exactly which skills would yield the greatest score improvements in the short term. Jacob received a personalized, day-by-day study plan, targeted, Educo-exclusive resources, and focused, high-impact tutoring sessions that eliminated guesswork and reignited his motivation to improve.

“It was such a relief. Educo showed Jacob exactly what to focus on and why. Within days, he felt confident and motivated to study again, because he finally knew that the effort he was investing would directly translate into score improvements.”

The Result

SAT Improvement in days, not months

Within days, Jacob's practice scores rose significantly, improving more in four days than in the previous three months combined. In the end, Jacob scored a 1570 on the October 7th SAT with a score breakdown of 770 and 800. As of March 2025, Jacob was admitted to the University of Chicago under their Early Decision program. He plans to major in Computer Science with a minor in visual arts.

“Educo just knew what to do. They got straight to the point, and when Jacob understood exactly what he needed to do, we saw instant improvement.”
