History

Established in 2011.

Patrick Bock and Jay Casale were two of the country’s most highly-​requested SAT tutors while working for The Princeton Review. Students paid upwards of three hundred dollars an hour to work with them. Patrick gradually became disillusioned with the high-​cost, low-​quality materials he was using and began to design his own test preparation curriculum. To do so, he analyzed thousands of SAT questions to create the «Reasoning Test Genome Project.» This analysis allowed him to map out every concept and skill tested on the SAT.

He then created an innovative diagnostic test that quickly identifies students’ exact issues and allows him to create a 100% personalized syllabus. This approach creates effective, efficient programs and allows students to focus only on their areas of weakness.

In 2015, Patrick brought Jay on to bring Specifix to New Jersey. Together they have over 20 years of experience and have trained hundreds of instructors for the other guys.
