San Francisco, Nov. 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- While hundreds of thousands of high school seniors eagerly await
SAT(R) scores from the November test (and wonder if they might need
to squeeze in one more try), juniors are now starting to think
about the spring SAT season. The big question for both: how can I
best prepare for the SAT online?

Test Prep Labs, a new
online SAT prep website, is on a mission to offer high quality
online SAT prep courses at a price affordable to everyone. One year
after assembling a team of top SAT writers and experts, the company
today launched with a series of brand-new prep courses covering the
Math, Writing and Critical Reading sections of the widely used
college admissions test.

The price? $10 per course, or $20 for the bundle. Plus, as a
special thanks to early adopters during the beta phase, the entire
bundle is free via a Facebook coupon. A
fourth course, Intro to SAT, will always be free.

Through a series of videos and lessons complete with practice
questions, sample tests and simulated exams, the Test Prep Labs
courses help high school students demystify the process with
strategies designed to increase their chance of successfully
tackling the SAT.

"High school students - and their parents - often spend hundreds
or thousands of dollars in a quest to add a few points to their SAT
score," said Chris White, a longtime San Francisco-based tutor and
lead writer/producer for Test Prep Labs. "The quest is valid...an SAT
score can determine if you get into your school of choice. But the
tips, the knowledge, the practice tests should not be limited to
people with deep pockets. Everyone deserves the same advantage, and
that's why we started Test Prep Labs."

The four courses may be taken individually, or together as a
bundle. Each course is broken up into short, targeted lessons that
cover all of the bases, providing students with an easy and
effective way to prepare for the SAT. The video-based courses
include quizzes and timed practice tests designed to simulate the
test-day environment, giving students a level of comfort that can
translate to higher scores. Completed tests are also available to
review and peruse, enabling students to gain familiarity with the
SAT's format.

The first Test Prep Labs SAT courses
include:

Intro to SAT (One hour), is the starting point
for SAT prep. Students learn the fundamentals of the test,
including when they should take it and why advance practice is key
to a better score.

Critical Reading (13 hours, 40 min), is
comprised of 20 lessons that guide students through a strategy for
effective use of time in the critical reading section, including a
method for approaching passage-based and sentence completion
questions.

Math (13 hours, 40 min), is a 30-lesson course
designed to sharpen skills and familiarize test takers with the
concepts covered in the math section of the SAT. The course starts
with a benchmarking quiz that students can use to track improvement
as they progress.

Writing - Multiple Choice (6 hours, 45
minutes), offers strategies for the writing section of the SAT
- the section on which students stand the best chance of
improving overall SAT scores. Using the strategies in this
20-lesson course, students get clear and detailed explanations of
all of the questions, plus an understanding of grammar rules in
real-world contexts.

Teachers and administrators may seek access for an entire class,
school, or district by emailing info@testpreplabs.com. To enroll as
