Test Prep Flyers: Boost Enrollments for SAT, LSAT & MCAT Classes

Why Flyers Are a Smart Move for Test Prep Services

Students and parents planning for major exams often rely on word-of-mouth recommendations, school bulletin boards, and local community notices—not just online searches. A well-designed flyer placed in a library’s study room, a college campus café, or a guidance counsellor’s office bridges that gap, delivering your message where future test-takers spend their time.

Flyers offer a tangible, trusted invitation to improve scores, reduce anxiety, and gain admission to top schools. Unlike fleeting social media ads, a physical flyer stays on lockers, fridges, and desks—reminding students of your upcoming SAT, LSAT, or MCAT workshops every day.

What to Feature on Your Test Prep Flyer

Your flyer must quickly answer three core questions: What do you offer? Who are you? Why act now?

  1. Compelling Headline

    • “Ace Your SAT—Intensive Weekend Bootcamp”

    • “MCAT Success: Proven Strategies & Practice”

Strategic Distribution: Reach Students Where They’re Studying

To maximize impact, distribute flyers in high-traffic academic and study environments:

  • Public & University Libraries
    Study rooms and copy centers draw students preparing for tests.

  • College Campus Cafés & Lounges
    Flyers on bulletin boards catch undergraduates eyeing grad school.

  • High School Guidance Offices & Classrooms
    Counselors welcome materials that support student success.

  • Test Centres & Tutoring Cafés
    Local tutoring hubs and cafés with study tables are prime spots.

  • Bookstores & Academic Supply Shops
    Shoppers searching for prep books will notice your flyer offer.

Ensure your flyers land in the right hands by following targeted methods in How to Deliver Flyers That Actually Get Read.

Timing Your Test Prep Campaigns for Peak Demand

Align flyer drops with the academic calendar and registration deadlines:

  1. Fall (October–November): Early SAT/ACT prep for winter exams.

  2. Winter (January–February): MCAT and LSAT workshop promotion before spring test dates.

  3. Spring (March–April): Final SAT/ACT intensives ahead of May/June sittings.

  4. Summer (June–July): Intensive bootcamps before fall term begins.

Maintain visibility with repeat drops every 6–8 weeks, ensuring new cohorts of students receive your message. Learn more about effective schedules in Why Repetition Is Your Secret Weapon in Direct Mail Marketing.

Offers That Convert Ambitious Students

Your flyer offer must lower barriers and create urgency:

  • “Free Diagnostic Test for the First 20 Students—Show This Flyer”

  • “10% Off Your First Workshop When You Register by [Date]”

  • “Refer a Friend—Both Receive a Free Review Session”

  • “Score Guarantee: Increase 150+ Points or Get One Workshop Free”
