Here's Why Most Good Students Never Get Florida's 100% Tuition Scholarship… and what they can do to secure it in a matter of weeks
In Florida, there are two kinds of families with good students: the ones whose tuition gets paid by Bright Futures, the state scholarship, and the ones who pay it themselves.
More than 9 out of 10 Florida graduates miss the 100% award. And for good students, the #1 reason comes down to the last step.
It's only 3 steps, not a competition
- Step 1: Good grades in the right high school courses
- Step 2: Volunteer or paid work hours
- The step most families missStep 3: A 1330 on the SATEasier to reach than most people think!
- She studied for months and still couldn't get to the score she needed.
- She missed the scholarship score by just 10 points.

If even one sounds like your family, keep reading. None of them mean your child can't do it.

Why good students miss it
✗ The problemYou might think the students who get the 100% award are smarter, or study more. That's not it. The SAT is simply a different kind of test than school.
| In school | On the SAT | |
|---|---|---|
| What's tested | This week's lesson | Years of math, all mixed together |
| Time | Usually the whole class period | About 95 seconds a question |
| Second chances | Retakes and extra credit | None during the test |
| What earns points | Homework, effort and right answers | Only right answers |
That's why A students lose points on the same few kinds of questions every time, and why more practice tests or a homework tutor rarely fix it. It's not your child's fault, and it can be fixed.
✓ The fixThat's what the Key Method™ is for: we find the 2 or 3 kinds of questions costing your child the most points, fix them one at a time in 2 live classes a week from home, and prove it on a full, timed practice test every month.
| Hourly tutoring | Our 12-week plan | |
|---|---|---|
| What they work on | Everything, or this week's homework | Only the question types costing the most points |
| How long | Open-ended, often months | 12 weeks |
| How you know it's working | Often not until test day | A full, timed practice test every month |
| Your part as a parent | Reminding, checking, guessing | Reading the results we send you |
| If the score isn't there yet | You pay for more | We keep working, on us |

- SummerA prep book, or a tutor who helps with homework.
- Senior fallOne more try. A little higher, but not enough.
- August 31 after graduationThe last test that counts passes, and the 100% award is gone.

In such a short amount of time, my child was able to raise their SAT score by 150 points, something we honestly didn't think was possible before we started.
The results truly speak for themselves. His math score increased by 120 points!
I've never been the type of student to study very hard, but… I've managed to get a 1350 on the SAT…
