How it works

From enrollment to test day.

A clear, low-pressure path. Most students are enrolled, onboarded, and onto their first practice exam within a week.

— Step 1

Enroll

Pick your program, format, and start date, then reserve your seat online in minutes. Have a question first? Reach out any time before you commit.

— Step 2

Onboarding

Your student receives study-portal access, the cohort calendar, and a first diagnostic exam — plus a personal welcome from Dr. Karnati.

— Step 3

The cohort

16 weeks of live instruction, 30 full-length exams, and weekly analytics — in person across DFW or live online from anywhere in the country or abroad.

— Step 4

Test day & beyond

Walk into the exam rehearsed and confident — then keep full portal access for 12 months to prepare for the next sitting.

Live, immersive instruction

Taught by the founder. Not a recording.

Every cohort is led live by Dr. Karnati and his team of perfect scorers — in person across DFW or live online. Small groups, real-time feedback, and the same strategies that took a Michigan student to a perfect 36, an Ivy League acceptance, and a neurosurgery career.

Why Tejas Test Prep

Six reasons families across DFW choose us.

We are not a franchise, a software product, or a study app. We are a small academy designed around a single conviction: the students who score the highest are the students who prepare the most deliberately.

01

Authored by perfect scorers

Every lesson, module, and practice question was created by Dr. Karnati and a team of fellow perfect scorers — refined over years of teaching, not licensed from a textbook.

02

The deepest practice library in DFW

30 full-length exams per course, thousands of practice questions, and hundreds of learning modules. No other DFW prep program offers this volume of realistic, calibrated content.

03

Live, immersive instruction

Small cohorts taught live — in person in DFW or virtually — with personal feedback. Students choose the format that fits their schedule without compromising attention.

04

Analytics that change behavior

After every full-length exam, students receive granular section-level and skill-level analytics. We know precisely where points are being left on the table — and how to reclaim them.

05

The official material, decoded

College Board and ACT released exams come with full written explanations. Every right answer is taught as a transferable strategy, not a one-time hit.

06

A neurosurgeon's discipline

The same training that built a neurosurgery career — pattern recognition, deliberate practice, and performance under pressure — applied to standardized tests.

Inside the lessons

Look at the work before you pay for it.

Every claim above is checkable. These are real screens from the courses your student would be enrolled in — not a mockup, and not a stock photo of somebody studying.

A question inside an ACT Science lesson after submitting: the correct choice marked, followed by a written explanation headed Set up, Analyze, Answer, Why the other choices fail, and Faster.
Every question is explained in full. Not just which answer was right — how to set the problem up, what each wrong choice was designed to catch, and the faster route for test day. All 18,327 of them.
The mastery dashboard inside a Digital SAT Math lesson, showing overall accuracy and a bar for every individual skill tracked in the lesson, from Area Model to Tangency.
Practice is measured skill by skill. The lesson tracks every skill separately, so a student is not told they are “weak at quadratics” — they are told the axis of symmetry is the problem, and sent back to that module.

From the founder

I scored a perfect 36 on the ACT and a perfect score on the SAT in high school, earned full scholarships through undergraduate and medical school, and ended up in one of the most selective specialties in medicine. The strategies that made that possible aren't a secret — they're learnable. I built Tejas Test Prep to teach them, exactly as I learned them, to the next generation of DFW students.

Results & voices

Built on the standard that produces results.

The program is engineered around a single proof point — the founder's own results. These are real students and parents — families taught in Michigan and families from the 2025 Dallas–Fort Worth trial course — published in their own words, attributed by role and city at their choice.

Before Tejas Test Prep, studying for the ACT had become a source of tension in our house because our son was working hard without knowing whether he was studying the right things. The learning and testing platforms gave him structure, and Tejas and his team helped him understand what to focus on. Over time, we saw him become more independent and less discouraged after a difficult practice test. We’re especially thankful that Tejas stayed involved throughout, because our son felt that someone understood his struggles and cared about helping him through them. Seeing him approach the test with more confidence was a huge relief for all of us.

I used to finish a practice test and feel like the score was just telling me I wasn’t good enough. Tejas and his team helped me look at it differently and figure out what I could actually improve. Being able to return to lessons on the platform and then practice again gave me a way to see that the work was helping. I’m really thankful for their patience, especially when I needed something explained more than once. I left the course feeling much more capable than when I started.
Student
Coppell, TX
2025 trial course
We had already bought prep books and tried to help our son ourselves, but we weren’t getting very far. Tejas Test Prep gave him a more organized way to learn and practice, along with people who could help him understand his mistakes. The platforms made it easier for him to work independently, and the guidance from Tejas and his team helped him stick with it when he got frustrated. We were so thankful to see him begin taking ownership of his preparation. It also gave us the chance to be encouraging parents again instead of constantly asking whether he had studied.
