I'm Peter Schmidt, founder of Prepare. I personally teach most of our SAT and ACT prep classes. I’m a proud graduate of Saucon Valley High School, Columbia University (BA in English), Yale University (MM in Music), and the University of Houston (MFA in Drama). Before launching Prepare, I performed professionally in musicals, plays and operas all over the country.
As it turns out, one of my ‘side-hustles’ — teaching SAT prep for a private firm in California — began a new career for me. I realized that my academic background, intellectual curiosity, and performing experience combined to help me connect with students and help them learn.
Since I returned to Pennsylvania in 2004 and founded PREPARE, I’ve helped thousands of students significantly raise their SAT and ACT scores — and take a big step toward their college dreams. (And, every so often, I do a show!)
Chester Springs families select our SAT classes for several compelling reasons: experienced instruction from Columbia and Yale graduate Peter Schmidt, comprehensive curriculum aligned with 2026 Digital SAT requirements, superior value with more instructional hours at lower cost per hour than competitors, and convenient access to our Exton Conference Center location near Route 100 and Route 30. Students from Owen J Roberts High School, Downingtown East and West, Great Valley, Conestoga, and private schools throughout Chester County benefit from our proven methodology that consistently delivers score improvements ranging from 100 to 300+ points.
Our Digital SAT prep Chester Springs program is completely aligned with the computer-based SAT format that replaced the traditional paper test in 2024. The Digital SAT features a shorter 2-hour-14-minute duration, an adaptive two-module structure in both Reading & Writing and Math sections, and administration via the College Board’s Bluebook testing application. Understanding these changes and preparing specifically for the digital format is essential for optimal performance.
Chester Springs students receive comprehensive instruction on the adaptive testing methodology, where question difficulty in the second module adjusts based on first-module performance. We teach strategic approaches to maximize first-module accuracy while maintaining efficiency throughout the entire test. Our curriculum includes extensive practice with digital tools including the built-in Desmos graphing calculator, strategies for shorter reading passages, and time management techniques specific to the computer-based environment.
Full-length adaptive practice tests administered through the Bluebook platform provide Chester Springs students with authentic test-day experience, building familiarity and confidence with the digital interface. This realistic practice proves invaluable for reducing test anxiety and ensuring students feel comfortable when they sit for the actual Digital SAT.

Mathematics instruction covers algebra, problem-solving and data analysis, advanced math including functions and trigonometry, and geometry principles.

Our approach emphasizes understanding underlying mathematical concepts rather than rote formula memorization.
