What Regents Review, Llc does

Regents Review, LLC is a family-owned, teacher-operated standardized test preparation company founded in 1976 by Arnold Birnbaum, headquartered in Melville, New York. The company provides one-day intensive bootcamp-style review classes for New York State Regents exams, Advanced Placement (AP) exams, SAT/ACT, PSAT, and SHSAT, with additional offerings in midterm review, group tutoring, summer catch-up courses, and digital practice exams. Its customer base is primarily high school students and their parents across New York State and adjacent areas of New Jersey and Connecticut, with demand driven by end-of-year Regents exams, AP exam windows, and college admissions testing cycles.

The core product is the proprietary one-day comprehensive review format — a six-hour intensive session that condenses a full year of subject material into a single class, supplemented by three-hour Power Review classes, three-hour Night Before Exam reviews, and digital practice exams with personal dashboards. There is no proprietary technology platform; the company's assets are its curriculum, teaching methodology, and licensed New York State teacher bench. Classes are delivered in person at university venues across Long Island (Adelphi University), Westchester (SUNY Purchase), Rockland County (Saint Thomas Aquinas College), and Brooklyn (Berkeley Carroll School), and live online via Zoom. Digital SAT/ACT/PSAT/SHSAT practice exams are sold individually at $45 or in bundles of three for $95.

Regents Review operates a direct-to-consumer, one-time-purchase revenue model with no subscriptions. Per-class pricing ranges from $185 (Night Before) to $260 (AP/Regents one-day) to $350 (Summer six-session course). The company markets through its website (passtheregents.com), organic social media on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/LinkedIn/Snapchat, educational blog content, email newsletter, parent and student testimonials, and podcast appearances. A School Benefit Program donates $5 per enrollment to participating Parent Associations to drive referral pull within school communities. The company is privately held with no institutional funding, no acquisitions, and no public financial disclosures.

Direct peers

• Magoosh: Online-first test prep company offering SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, and other prep via self-paced video and live courses. Directly competes with Regents Review's SAT/ACT Power Review and digital practice exams in the online standardized-test channel.
• PowerScore: Independent test prep publisher specializing in SAT, ACT, LSAT, and GRE prep with classroom and self-study materials. Comparable as a focused, content-led test prep specialist rather than a broad edtech platform.
• Prep Expert: Test prep company founded by Shaan Patel offering SAT, ACT, and AP prep courses in live online and in-person formats. Direct competitor in the SAT/ACT/AP intensive-course category that Regents Review targets.
• PrepScholar: Online SAT and ACT prep company with adaptive learning platform and personalization. Direct online competitor to Regents Review's SAT/ACT offerings, differentiated by AI-driven customization rather than live one-day bootcamps.
• The Princeton Review: Major direct competitor in SAT, ACT, and AP exam prep offering in-person bootcamps and online live courses. Overlaps directly with Regents Review's SAT/ACT Power Review and AP Review product lines, with comparable live-instructor-led intensive format.

Broad incumbents

• Tutor.com: Long-standing online on-demand tutoring service with test prep offerings including SAT and ACT. Competes with Regents Review's group tutoring and Study Hall add-on products rather than its intensive bootcamps.
• Kaplan Test Prep: Large established test prep incumbent with a broad portfolio spanning SAT, ACT, AP, GRE, MCAT, LSAT, and Bar prep. Competes with Regents Review in the SAT/ACT/AP segments while serving a much wider test-prep market.
• Varsity Tutors: Online tutoring and test prep marketplace (now part of Nerdy) offering 1:1 tutoring, group classes, and test prep for SAT, ACT, AP, and a wide range of subjects. Competes across multiple of Regents Review's product lines with a larger, more diversified platform.

Emerging players

• Khan Academy: Free nonprofit learning platform with an official College Board partnership for free SAT practice. Represents a major free-rate disruptor for the SAT prep segment of Regents Review's business, especially for price-sensitive families.

Others

• Study.com: Online learning platform offering SAT, ACT, AP, and a broad catalog of academic and professional courses. Adjacent competitor in standardized-test prep and broader supplemental education; not a direct bootcamp peer but competes for the same student dollar.
