Why it works

The short answer to this question is simple: the BFA team knows what it's doing and loves what it does. Our students, fortunately for us, are typically hard workers who can benefit immensely from our know-how and experience. 
 
Our small, precisely integrated team is known for going above and beyond the traditional idea of tutoring and exam prep; our work is rooted in the idea that when students better understand the language and context of a subject, the more engaged, eager, and confident they become in investing time into mastering its concepts and skills. This vision is supported by both empirical data and anecdotal testimony. And a lot of kind and honest feedback.
​
Our very small group has helped over 1,500 students reach their goals on exams ranging from the SAT & ACT to graduate exams like the MCAT, LSAT, and GRE exams. 

Why invest time and money?

The central idea behind our work is not unlike that of traditional financial investing: invest some time and some money now, and these deposits tend to grow over time into exponential gains. One key difference is that the investment into academia, whether small or large, delivers a vast range of significant returns - personal, career, social, and financial - over both the short and long run. Whether by way of merit scholarships, program admissions, academic opportunities, tuition cost savings, prosperous relationships, or personal achievement, the vast majority of our students and families see a considerable return on their investment the minute they receive a financial aid award letter at college orientation, medical and law school scholarships, or career opportunities.

Less stress, please

The reality is that while some students excel at applying their knowledge to standardized exams, the majority struggle to demonstrate effectively their true talent and potential.  This leaves many students overwhelmed and disheartened and can minimize a student's academic and financial opportunities.  While we at Big Future do not believe a student's potential or unique talents can be entirely measured on paper, we have mastered the methods that consistently generate high-percentile scores; this leaves more time (and less anxiety) on our students' schedule. A nominal score increase is great news to be sure, but we've observed that the stress reduction our methods and strategies bring about is even more valuable over the long term. 

And don't forget...

Please also keep in mind that earning the score is part one of two: knowing how to take full advantage of the score in terms of admissions and scholarships is equally important. We'd love to help you there, too.
