Keep in mind that SAT prep often runs $200-400 an hour and it’s not unusual for students serious about top colleges to shell out $15-$20K on SAT prep (trust me, I’m not saying this is a good thing – I think the SAT is a stupid test, but no one asked me). Blame the College Board for creating an entire industry of test prep, guides, etc… I’m not going to defend my own pricing but to point out we are responsible for marketing, advertising, running a major online web site/store, we have a staff who works with us, so the cost is never just as simple as “this is what it costs us to make.” Information can be expensive, but as many others have said, Mike’s approach is amazing and has helped students make huge gains on the SAT, so in the scheme of things, a few hundred dollars is a wise investment for those who can afford it. It is one of our best selling products as well, so judging my sales, it’s priced at a good price point and is in fact available to middle class kids who are largely the ones buying it.
