faq
After we enroll how do we get set up for text prep?
You will get a welcome email with a form to register your teen's cell phone number, along with a few other details so we can set them up in our systems.
Once we have your teen's number and the enrollment agreement, they will get their setup instructions via text, and both of you will know exactly what to expect on February 1st.
We're also required to assure you that no mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes.
Is this enough SAT® prep for my teen?
Text Prep is a warm-up. It is a simple plan that builds comfort, routine, and core skills so your teen feels ready to walk into the test. It does not replace full SAT® prep. It gives your teen a strong starting point that fits their real schedule.
*Specific results or scores are not guaranteed.
What if my teen misses a day, or falls behind?
Nothing breaks. Each day stands on its own, and they can pick back up right away. And with 5-minute lessons, catch-up will take minutes, not hours. This is built for busy family schedules & teens with packed plates.
We’re both really busy. How much time does this take?
Lessons take five minutes a day and go straight to your teen by text. You get one weekly email so you stay informed without managing anything, so the whole process feels simple and doable without adding more time commitments to your schedule.
Is the student community safe for my teen?
Yes. The community is private and monitored inside a closed program. Students can ask questions and get support in a safe, encouraging space designed only for Text Prep students.
What if my teen needs to ask questions or needs 1:1 support?
Students who want extra help can add Text Prep Q&A. This optional add-on lets students submit questions related to Text Prep lessons and receive clear answers through in-app direct messaging with a Merry U expert. It’s a simple way to get support without one-on-one tutoring. (But if you want that nurturing mentorship experience, we don't blame you! In fact, it's Merry's sweet spot. Email Merry@HelloMerryU for mentorship details.)
MEET MERRY
Hi, I'm merry!
I’ve spent the last nineteen years helping students and families move through test prep and the college journey with less stress and more smiles.
I’ve worked with thousands of teens across the country and around the world, and the truth is always the same.
Students do their best when the pressure comes down and the steps feel simple.
I built Text Prep because busy juniors need a warm, clear place to start, and parents deserve support that fits real life.
I believe in small daily wins, gentle guidance, and helping teens feel capable step by step.
My goal is to give your family a clear plan and a supportive month of test prep that helps your teen walk into the SAT ready.
Let's make SAT prep magic & make test day feel like no big deal!
Merry
