Nielson Phu

Hi, I'm Nielson! Once upon a time, I was an ambitious student hoping to get into a top university. I struggled to do well on the SAT (barely above average), so my parents sent me to classes that didn't help and gave me books that never went beyond the basics. They didn't know any better. After a lot of failure and frustration, I decided to self-study and figure out the test myself. My efforts paid off because I eventually scored in the top 1% of all test takers (this was the old exam). Since then, I've stayed up-to-date with the test prep world as a teacher and an author, helping thousands of students improve their own scores. Unlike many other "experts" out there, I've actually taken both the SAT and ACT in their current forms, scoring a perfect 1600 and a 35, respectively. I created The College Panda to be the resource I wish I had when I was a student. If you're an ambitious student who's striving for that high score and wants the most comprehensive test prep out there, then these are the books for you.
