Upper90Prep Seeking to Prepare Students for Future Academic Endeavors

Founded in 2012, upper90prep, LLC has been helping students in high schools near and far prepare for standardized tests. Oneon-one sessions allow for truly individualized tutoring, ensuring time and budgets are judiciously spent where they are needed the most.

Since his college career on the pitch came to a close, Rick Kraemer has been coaching both boys’ and girls’ soccer for over 30 years, and he has applied those many lessons of empathy, encouragement, and discipline to his tutoring practice. Whether in Geometry, Algebra, or the SAT & ACT, he builds a relationship with each and every student and works hard to ensure a positive outcome, be it on a quiz, a math test, or the stressful SAT & ACT standardized tests.

There are no short-cuts to improving SAT/ACT scores. It takes time, practice, and guidance from someone who understands every aspect of every test section. Test taking strategies and time management are critical components of a sound test preparation methodology.

By understanding “how” the questions have been built and “why” the answer choices exist (they are rarely random), stu- dents can learn how to recognize the wrong paths or the “bait” answer choices. This leads to more correct answers and higher scores.
