Rather than reviewing concepts and course material, Surgent exam coaches help you learn how to study and test smarter.

Much like SAT-prep, coaches help you build study and test-taking strategies based on your individual course progress. The result:  

  • more powerful study sessions
  • less time spent studying

“With the support of my coach, I was able to develop a tailored 10-week study plan that took into account my work and family schedule, allowing me to maximize my time and focus on the areas where I needed the most improvement. My coach also provided one-on-one counseling, advising me on specific areas to focus on and helping me put aside material that I had already learned.”
