My boys did great on their HSPT exam and they enjoyed the course. Not once did they give me "attitude" when class was going to start.

Highly recommend this place for HSPT Prep. You won't disappoint. Getting familiar with the test format definitely help ease the nervousness during the actual test. During the pandemic, sessions were conducted online. As long as your child can stay focus, it's equally effective. read more

I honestly was not sure what to expect given our previous HSPT prep experience with our older son with another program. I was also concerned that this being a pandemic era program via Zoom, well...that it just wouldn't be so comprehensive or engaging for a teen boy. After receiving the comprehensive materials packet, I became hopeful and knew it would at least be better than my older son's experience. However, it was after the first session and seeing that my younger son was so excited and that he immediately recognized how this would be helpful to him--he was the one engaged and not complaining about having to do academics or such an intensive course during his Christmas break. I never had trouble getting him up or doing his work. He feels so confident now and I am hopeful he excelled with the HSPT as a result--he felt confident! My son is pretty high achieving, despite having auditory dyslexia--I do not know how a child with more significant learning impairments would do with this program--but for my son, it worked really well. I really could not sing higher praises, and feel that others should know how great this HSPT prep course is. The cost was definitely worth it. read more

Thank you to the team at SASO! Your program helped tremendously! My kid is good academically, but he didn't have any idea about how to handle competitive test-taking, time management, and how to tackle the variety of questions. I feel, SASO prepared him perfectly, as that's the only prep he had and aced the HSPT :) I also chatted with Brian, who was extremely helpful and kind. Thank you SASO! read more

My son just received his high school admission decisions and his HSPT test scores. He was granted admission to every school to which he applied - and even earned admission with academic distinction to one particular school in part due to his high test scores. This feat would not have been made possible without his test prep with Saso. My son took the fall session remotely due to the pandemic. Despite being conducted virtually, I felt the course was very well organized, well paced and comprehensive. He received all the regular instruction material via mail beforehand and referenced it during each virtual class. He also took the mock exam twice, once before the test prep and once after. His scores greatly improved each time he took both the mock exams and actual exam. Again, Saso did an exceptional job making these mock exams accessible during the pandemic. The entire team was communicative, well organized and made the best of a unique pandemic situation. My daughter will soon be applying to private high school. Without a doubt, I will enroll her in Saso's test prep sessions. I would highly recommend Saso High School Prep for anyone considering taking the HSPT. read more

I can't say enough great things about Mr. Saso and his team. Not only did the program increase my son's scores he boosted his self confidence. My son enjoyed the course so much, he took it twice. Thank you Mr. Sasso and team we appreciate you. read more

This is truly an amazing group! I signed up my son for the online fall classes with Mr. Saso all the way from the East Coast. My son enjoyed it and at the end he aced the HSPT test, getting 98 percentile composite result. They are very organized and efficient, have great teaching skills with a lot of experience. The binder they sent before the course is a great study material and review tool. The mock exam is another amazing feature as it helps your child to practice under real exam conditions right before the actual test. This is a five star program and I highly recommend it to any parent whose child will be taking HSPT. read more

Both my son and daughter took the Saso High School Prep - and both made it into the high school of their choice!! Fabulous teachers....Great preparation for the students....even my daughter who has dyslexia and ADHD said she could not have done it without the help this course gave her!! Highly recommend it!

I highly recommend the Saso HSPT prep course. While my son did not "love" spending his Friday afternoon in the fall studying for thsi test, he would tell you that one the day of his test he was relaxed and well prepared, he walked in to the testing room full of confidence. Our one regret is that we didn't have him take the Algebra Advacned Placement class that Saso offers. He was getting an A in Algebra in 8th grade and thought he "knew it all". He came out of the advanced placmeent test somewhat stunned at how much he did not know and missed advancing to Geometry by 2 points..... read more

My daughter took Saso for her High school placement test. (HSPT). Saso was suggested by one of our very good friends. I could see her progress thru the classes and the practice tests. She got into one school of her choice and she is waitlisted in another. Considering the amount the kids who take HSPT, I am really thrilled that my daughter got accepted. Thank you Brian and Saso! read more

My son recently completed the program offered after school through Saso. We saw a huge improvement in his scores; he scored in the superior category in most of the categories. That was a big jump from his first practice test. The course and materials seemed well organized and well paced. Highly recommend this program. read more

My children are not happy when they have to do additional school work, especially in the summer. However much to my surprise my twins both enjoyed Steve Saso's HSPT class. They enjoyed the environment and both were very enthusiastic in the improvements they were seeing in their test scores over the two weeks. I would enthusiastically recommend the class to anyone interested in improving their HSPT scores. Sean Torsney read more

My daughter got accepted with honours after prepping at Saso.Steve and team is just amazing. They know exactly what they are doing. If your child is willing to work with them you will nothing but awesome results. Highly Recommended!!!! read more

I researched several HSPT prep organizations to help my daughter get prepared for the HSPT. They all had fancy websites and advertisements, but after speaking to some parents at our school, they highly recommended Saso High School Prep. Enrolling our daughter there was the best decision. My daughter just entered the eighth grade this fall and took Saso High School Prep in the summer. She took a diagnostics test prior to taking this course and was below average and average in most subjects. After taking this course for 4 weeks, she made great progress in every subject and improved her scores by 50-80%. Upon completion of the course, in her own words, "this class was worth every penny!" Not only did her scores increase, she gained so much confidence entering the eighth grade. This class isn't just an HSPT prep class, it's also a great class to review subjects that students either didn't comprehend the first time around or didn't learn. She felt like she was getting one-on-one tutoring. Since then, I've verbally referred several parents to the Saso High School Prep class because Steve and his staff are passionate about what they do and genuinely care about the students' progress. I highly recommend this well organized course and the staff is great! read more

We are so glad we enrolled our child in Saso's HSPT Prep Course and Algebra Competency Exam Prep Course. These courses helped prepare her academically and mentally. Mr. Saso explains everything so not only are they prepared but they know what to expect. These classes not only helped her have high scores but also helped lessen the stress and anxiety that comes with taking exams. Mr. Saso is a rare find amongst teachers. He ensures his students understand what he is teaching even if that means taking extra time outside of the class/and or extending class time to insure everything is covered. That is hard to find these days. Our other child will be enrolling in Saso High School Prep courses next year. We highly recommend Saso High School Prep. read more

I enrolled my 13 year old son in Saso's HSPT prep course the last week. Given this was over the Christmas holiday vacation, my son's initial reaction was as you'd expect; "not thrilled" would be a gentle way of describing it. But, after the first day in Saso's class my son came home saying he thought it was worth the time. As importantly, my son then was much more willing to do practice exercises. The class seems to offer the right dose of encouragement and gentle prodding, to motivate kids to work harder. While the test is not for several weeks, I feel as tough I did the right thing as a parent to give my son the opportunity to do better with expert guidance. In addition, I would recommend the Grammar notebook for extra practice. Even if there was no HSPT, the grammar and punctuation worksheets have utility on their own and I think will improve my son's writing. I was going to also purchase the Math book, but Saso discourged that, since my son's math scores were high. I thought this demonstrated integrity, to not have me buy something that I didn't really need just to make a sale. read more

My daughter attended a one day course and it was well worth every penny. She was able to get a good sense of how prepared she is for the high school placement test, gained confidence on what to expect, and learned how to pace her time to complete each section. She learned helpful hints on how to take the test and how she can study outside of the class to improve her scores. Equally impressive was Steve Sasso's honest feedback on whether she needed to take an additional class. Instead of encouraging her to take an additional class, he told us she did well enough to just study a bit on her own. I was very appreciative that he had the integrity to give us great advice without trying to make an extra buck. I would recommend his classes to every student who wants to attend private school. Even if your child does well in the class, the peace of mind and confidence gained by knowing what to expect is worth it. A small price to pay considering cost of admission to private schools! read more

To anyone considering Saso High School Prep, I can not give any higher recommendation. When we were considering a private High School, it was a whole different world to consider. I never knew that the HSPT was so paramount in the direction that an entering freshman would undertake. Steve gave our daughter a diagnostic test, and determined the areas she would be able to improve in. I signer her up for the five Saturday class and each week her scores improved. I also signed her up for the review so that she could consolidate her techniques. Each week Steve and his assistant were able to give her the necessary guidance to improve her scores. Steve's prepared material and lessons were very organized and focused. On the day my daughter took the HSPT, she knew completely what to expect which helped her exceed in both realms of verbal and mathematics. She received very high scores, and ended up getting placed in honors Mathematics, honors English, and honors Science. Because of her placements she is well on track to succeed not only throughout the rest of her High School years, but also to college, and on beyond into her career. I found the value in Steve's courses for what I invested to be completely worth it. Three cheers for Saso High School Prep!!! read more
