Located in the heart of Cocoa Village, come see what keeps us a step ahead of the bigger companies.

At Ingram Test Prep, we take standardized testing seriously.  After earning 99th percentile scores on the SAT and ACT and attending NYU and UPenn, we now help our students achieve outstanding results by teaching both content and strategies.  Throughout the past 12 years working in test prep, Mellick Ingram and Henry Beavers have continuously analyzed the latest trends in the tests and continuously refine their tutoring methods.

That maximizes your score improvement and efficiency in the test preparation process.

If you’re ready to earn a great score on the SAT, ACT, LSAT, ASVAB, or in your high school or college coursework, you’ve come to the right place. We offer one-on-one tutoring, small group SAT/ACT classes, as well as timed, proctored SAT/ACT practice tests at the office in Cocoa Village.

Happy Families

Mel Ingram is wonderful! My son took a 6 week ACT prep course with Mel. He bettered is original score of 27 with a 31, which qualified him for the Bright Futures’ Florida Academic Scholars (FAS) covering 100% of his in-state college tuition. Money well spent.

When my daughter was struggling with her college entrance exams, I once again turned to Mel. With Mel’s help, my daughter also raised her score multiple points. Just recently, Mel helped her study for a college Algebra final. She nailed it with a 90% after receiving average scores most of the semester.

But, more important than the test scores was the confidence Mel instilled in my daughter. She left every tutoring session feeling smarter, believing that she could and would do well. For that, I will forever be grateful. Mel has the amazing ability to break down concepts and reach students on their level. I cannot recommend Mel Ingram enough.

Ginger A., an MIHS parent

The proof is in the pudding. As a direct result of the ACT score my daughter was able to achieve after Mel tutored her, she was offered USF’s and UCF’s top merit scholarships – $20K and $30K respectively. That’s an awesome return on investment! And more offers are likely once other schools decide on admissions. Mel is a great tutor and a great person for a teenager to look up to. Highly recommend.

What’s included, and what are classes like?

All group classes are led by Mel. With a maximum of 5 students, your learner absolutely gets individualized attention in every class. All course materials are included – there’s no need to purchase additional supplies or books.  We use only official, previously released exams in our prep. In each class, we work through chunks of material in the SAT and the ACT, across all sections of the test – Reading, Writing and Language (English), Math, and Science – that have been carefully selected for each group’s score level. Students work through practice problems at their own pace while Mel helps every student in turn. For questions that stump everybody, we come together for mini-lessons. Students enjoy the active learning, which is one of the best ways to learn (and retain) new material.

When can I start?

We’ve designed the group classes to be self-contained units so that no student will come in feeling “behind” the other students, so you can start anytime.

Practice Tests

Practice Tests are back! Next date: October 2, 8am to 11:30am. Test date full; WAITLIST ONLY!

Set up a free consultation

Working one-on-one with a tutor is all about customization. We strive to meet each student’s needs, and we like to know as much as possible about the student’s academic background, the family’s needs, and the goals for the program of study.

A 25- to 40-minute in-office or virtual consultation is scheduled for each new family. At least one parent(s) or other interested party should attend. (Sometimes a grandparent, a relative, or a family friend arranges the student’s classes; these parties’ input is welcome.) The student should also attend. We’ll talk about test prep, college admissions, scheduling and the test prep timeline, as well as the student’s academic background.
