Press Release Body = WATERTOWN, MA - September 5, 2006 -In an effort to prepare
juniors for one of the most important achievements in their high school career,
Summit Educational Group has created PowerPrep, a unique approach to SAT
preparation. Designed especially for the class of 2008, PowerPrep consists of
comprehensive PSAT class instruction and an intensive one-on-one, in home SAT
tutoring program.

PowerPrep participants will gain vital hands-on experience with the PSAT by taking a
real practice test under simulated test-taking conditions at the outset of the
program. Throughout the four session PSAT workshop, students receive a thorough
introduction to all aspects of standardized test taking by identifying individual
strengths and weaknesses, learning powerful, up-to-date strategies and how to apply
them to different types of test questions.

After taking the PSAT, students will then reap the benefits of individualized
attention with a 12 week, one-on-one, in-home tutoring program customized with the
student's unique needs and goals in mind. Using the results from the PSAT
preparation and a SAT diagnostic test, tutors work with each student to develop a
customized preparation plan to score to their highest potential on the SAT.

"Talking with parents who just now are signing their kids up for tutoring was really
instrumental in bringing about the creation of this program," says Susan Higgins,
Vice President of Summit Educational Group. "Finding that their teens are stressed
out, overwhelmed and unprepared for a 3 hour plus test (or tests, in many cases)
that can have a profound affect on college admissions, many expressed the wish that
they had started earlier. Introducing students to the fundamentals of the PSAT, then
leading them through an unhurried, thorough tutoring program for the SAT, PowerPrep
offers a manageable solution to this monumental challenge."
