The American Education Foundation’s (San Diego CA) website is [American Education Foundation](http://www.americaneducationfoundation.org) I must make a disclaimer here: I am the Executive Director of the American Education Foundation (AMEDF- Amherst NY) [url=http://www.amedf.org] which is unrelated to the one you are asking about. I am responding here because AMEDF has been receiving numerous calls and emails from people who have been contacted by this other org, and have had complaints and/or customer service needs that are going unmet.

Although all of their contact info is on the website, the website is impossible to find, unless you search for their name as ‘americaneducationfoundation’ - no spaces between words.

Preparing to send your child to college is challenging enough- I have a college freshman and a highschool junior myself. The feedback that I have been getting from the parents contacting AMEDF thinking we are the San Diego org is that their telemarketing leaves much to be desired. I’ll leave it at that, I don’t want to fall into bad mouthing here. I just want to warn parents to be very cautious about companies soliciting test prep materials that are not the ‘big test prep companies’ that can easily be verified.

Additonally, many test prep resources are available for free or little cost on the College Board website, the ACT website, and and classroom and tutorial style help can be found through your local high school and community centers.
