“A-List provided excellent SAT and ACT preparation for our students. The combination of expert tuition, plus small classes levelled to ability, resulted in significant increase in scores, with one in four test-takers having achieved 1550+ or 35+. A-List has a depth of expertise plus scalability of resources, making them a powerful addition to a school's US university counselling program”
