The 1500 Guarantee

We put our outcome on the line. If your student hasn't reached a 1500 by the end of the program, we keep coaching — at no additional cost — until they do.

  • Keep working free until you hit 1500+
  • Clear, written milestones from day one
  • No long-term lock-in or hidden fees
Risk reversal

We carry the risk, so your family doesn't have to.

Most prep companies sell you hours. We sell you an outcome. That difference changes everything about how we coach — every session is measured against one number, and we're only finished when you are.

It's a simple promise that keeps us honest and keeps your student moving. If the plan isn't working, that's our problem to solve — not your bill to keep paying.

How it works

A clear path from baseline to 1500+

No bloated curriculum, no busywork. Three deliberate phases, each built around the data from your student's real performance.

01

Diagnose

A full proctored diagnostic pinpoints exactly which question types, timing patterns, and concepts are costing points — down to the sub-skill.

02

Engineer the plan

Your tutor builds a personalized roadmap with weekly targets, focusing 100% of effort on the highest-leverage gaps standing between today and 1500.

03

Coach to the score

Weekly 1:1 sessions, accountable practice, and tracked progress. We adjust relentlessly until the target score is locked in.

What's included

Everything a top score actually requires

A complete system — not a stack of PDFs and a wish of luck.

1:1 expert tutors

Coaches who consistently score 1550+ themselves and know exactly how the test is built.

Data-driven plan

Every session is targeted by analytics from real practice tests — never generic worksheets.

Smart practice

Adaptive problem sets that drill weak spots and stop wasting time on what's already mastered.

Weekly progress reports

Transparent tracking so you always know precisely where your student stands versus the goal.

Test-day strategy

Timing, pacing, and pressure management rehearsed until the real exam feels routine.

The 1500 Guarantee

We coach free until your student hits the target. Your outcome is our only finish line.

Meet the Founder & CEO

Hey, I'm David!

David Bruncic is the founder and CEO of The 1500 Lab, the SAT coaching program operated by KST Marketing d.o.o. He built the Lab around one conviction: a top SAT score is an engineering problem, not a guessing game.

Working one-on-one with ambitious students, David developed the diagnostic-driven system the Lab runs today — isolating the exact sub-skills costing points, then closing them with targeted, measured practice and real accountability. His outcome-first approach has helped students post 200+ point gains and reach top-percentile results, replacing scattered prep with a clear, repeatable path to 1500+.

Today he leads a small team of expert coaches who share the same standard: every session is measured against one number, and the work isn't finished until the student crosses it.

Questions

Everything you're wondering

How does the 1500+ guarantee actually work?
If your student completes the program and hasn't reached a 1500, we continue coaching at no additional cost until they do. The milestones are written down before you start, so there's no ambiguity about what "done" means.
Who is this program for?
High-performing students who are already scoring roughly 1250+ and want to reach an elite, admissions-defining 1500+. If your student is further from that range, reach out — we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
How long does it usually take?
Most students reach their target in 8–12 weeks of consistent weekly coaching, though it depends on the starting baseline and test schedule. We'll map a realistic timeline against your student's exam dates during the strategy call.
Are sessions online or in person?
Coaching is fully online and 1:1, so you get the best-matched tutor regardless of location — and your student keeps every minute that would've been spent commuting.
What makes you different from a big test-prep chain?
Chains sell hours; we sell an outcome. Every plan is one-to-one, built from real diagnostic data, and tied to a single number. We only succeed when your student does — which is why the guarantee exists.
How do we get started?
Reserve a spot below and we'll schedule a short strategy call to review your student's goals, current scores, and timeline. From there we book the diagnostic and build the plan. Spots are limited to protect coaching quality.
