On another note, Mr. Sung, in his same remarks, also addressed concerns raised by The Wall Street Journal about the test prep industry.

"Let me tell you exactly what I told the Wall Street Journal: 'Please note that all of our tests are designed according to standards set out in Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing published by the APA,'" informed Mr. Sung, "'Empirically, we know that our tests give a good prediction of actual scores, and we know anecdotally that many Elite alumni have been happy with their real test scores, but we don't guarantee or publicize specific score improvements because we recognize that any claims we made about score improvements would be suspect. Any test prep company that gives you their own test with their own score scale could be accused of fudging the numbers to make students think they improved more than they really had.'"
