SMART PUSH BOOT CAMPS

Who We Are

Smart Push is your go-to boot camp for the PSAT, SAT, and ACT.
Led by Chi Ibekwe, a National Merit Scholar who earned a full-ride scholarship to college, Smart Push is dedicated to helping students succeed on standardized tests. The focus is on effective strategies, engaging instruction, and confidence-building tools. Each boot camp is virtual and interactive, designed to make test prep productive and enjoyable.

Why Our Boot Camps Matter

The PSAT, SAT, and ACT are important milestones in a student’s academic journey.
High scores open doors to scholarships, college opportunities, and recognition. Boot camps give students tools and strategies to maximize performance, reduce stress, and approach test day with confidence.

Students learn strategies that actually work.
From pacing and timing to spotting common traps, each session builds skills that translate directly to higher scores. Practice under real test conditions prepares students for exam day.

Boot camps are fun and relatable.
Interactive virtual sessions use real-world examples and activities to keep students engaged while building confidence.

Real Cost vs. Value of Test Prep

  • According to the College Board, students who qualify as National Merit Finalists can earn scholarships worth $2,500 to full tuition at many universities.

  • The National Merit Scholarship Corporation reports that over 7,500 students receive National Merit Scholarships each year, totaling more than $30 million annually.

  • Colleges often award $10,000 to $100,000 in merit-based aid over four years to students with strong PSAT, SAT, or ACT scores.

  • Families regularly spend $50,000 to $200,000 on college tuition. Even a small boost in test scores can lead to significant scholarship offers or admission to selective schools.

The Bottom Line
A Smart Push Boot Camp costs only a fraction of one semester of tuition. Yet the strategies and score improvements can translate into tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships and aid.
