One student.Told in full.
We're new, and we'll be honest about it. So far, one student has sat the Digital SAT through our coaching. This is his story, told straight — no spin. More will land here as our Founding Cohort graduates. Until then, we won't pad this page with reviews we didn't earn.

Video testimonial
Recording is on the way. It'll live right here.
Varenya came to Gaurav as a homeschooler in California, preparing for the December 6, 2025 Digital SAT. The math itself was never the problem — years of self-directed homeschool work had given him real fluency. Where it broke down was the hard, timed second half of the test: the adaptive questions, the clock running short, Desmos slowing him down instead of helping.
So that's exactly what they worked on, start to finish — timing on the hard section, working Desmos fast, and the specific places the toughest Module 2 questions cost him points. On test day, Varenya scored 1540 total, 740 on Math.
In Varenya's own words
His quote goes here, from the video, once it's recorded. We'd rather leave this space empty than fill it with words he never said.
The homeschool angle
Homeschool families are a small, tight, high-trust world, and word travels. If you're a homeschool family weighing AcadMaster, Varenya's answer is simple: this is built for you too. If you'd like to hear it from his family directly, email Gaurav at gaurav@acadmaster.com. With their permission, which they've given, we'll connect you.
Why this page is short.
You've seen the other version: twenty photos, five stars across the board, quotes that sound a little too good. A lot of those are heavily edited or paid for — and after the FTC and UK CMA crackdowns of the last couple of years, a lot of them aren't even legal anymore.
We have one verified student, because we're in our first year. Our Founding Cohort of twenty starts soon. Based on where those students sit today, we'd expect twelve to fifteen of them to reach 750+ — and if they do, each one will show up here the same honest way: first name, location, test date, exact score. Some on video, some in text. None invented. That's a projection, not a promise, and we'll only post what actually happens.
So here's the whole story today: we're new, we have one student, our founder is an IIT Kanpur graduate and an Imperial College London PhD researcher, and our guarantee is that we keep teaching until your teenager hits 750. If you want more proof than that, give it twelve weeks and come back. It'll be here.
What lands on this page next.
Q2 2026
The Founding Cohort graduates.
Twenty students sit the May or June 2026 SAT. Going by where they are now, we'd expect twelve to fifteen of them to clear 750+ — a projection, not a guarantee. Whatever actually happens, those stories land here over the summer.
Q3 2026
The first full public cohort graduates.
The regular cohort that follows the Founding one — another twenty seats, and another round of score reports we expect to fall in the same range. We'll post the real ones.
Q4 2026
College-application-season score reports.
Students who crossed 750 in their senior-fall SAT and are heading into applications — the before-and-after told in full, the way Varenya's is.
Ongoing
Video first, whenever we can.
Every Founding Cohort student can record a short video in exchange for their founder discount. Real faces, real voices, real score reports — never a stand-in.
Verify us yourself.
You should be skeptical of any SAT prep company, and a new one most of all. So don't take our word for it. Here's how to check us yourself.
- 01
Email Gaurav directly.

- 02
Ask about us on r/SAT or r/APStudents.
Reddit is quick to call out a prep company that's making things up. We'd rather you heard it there than took our word for it.

They've said yes to this. If you'd like to hear how it went from them, we'll put you in touch.

It's the real exam, full length — 70 minutes. You'll feel within the first few questions whether the adaptive scoring is the real thing.
