Essay101.com Responds to New SAT® Writing Section
As millions of students prepare for the challenge of a new SAT writing section, a Florida-based editing company, Essay101.com, is poised to become the industry leader in providing writing evaluation services on behalf of test prep providers throughout the country.
(PRWEB) December 10, 2004 -- As millions of students prepare for the
challenge of a new SAT writing section, a Florida-based editing company,
Essay101.com, is poised to become the industry leader in providing writing
evaluation services on behalf of test prep providers throughout the country.
When the College Board recently announced it would add a writing section
to the SAT, Essay101’s test prep partners knew where to turn. In response to
these requests, Essay101 expanded its service offering to include essay
evaluation services for the new writing section. Essay101 developed a rigorous
editor training program and created an online editing process specifically
geared to evaluating the New SAT essays. “We’ve designed the process to be very
easy to use and quite customer friendly,” says Richard Green, the Company’s
President and CEO. Essay101 has an average turnaround time of 36 hours per
essay, which it believes is among the best in the business. The Company offers
several different packages for evaluating essays, starting with a basic package
that is a simple grading of the essay according to the criteria established by
the College Board. Other packages include an overall critique of the essay, as
well as a line-by-line edit and commentary.
Originally, Essay101
incorporated in the summer of 2000 to fill the growing demand for assistance
with college admissions essays. Integral to its growth strategy, Essay101 formed
partnerships with national and regional test prep providers that wanted to
privately label the Company’s professional essay evaluation services under their
own name. Since 2002, Essay101 has seen a five-fold increase in its clients and
nearly a ten-fold increase in its student-base. Even more recently, though, the
new SAT format has sparked considerable interest in the company’s services. “In
the last three months, to keep pace with demand we have had to really push our
editor recruiting efforts into high gear,” says Christopher Bledsoe, one of
Essay101’s four original founders. The company expects to employ roughly 100
editors by January 2005, and possibly more as new demand continues to
materialize.
Because of the changes set forth by the College Board,
Essay101 expects over $750,000 in revenue in 2005 solely from its New SAT
business. Its clients consist of nationwide test prep providers, as well as more
regionally focused providers.
