WHAT WE DO

Olive Book is a resource through which you may obtain information and materials in preparation for the SAT exam. It provides online streaming services and materials primarily consisting of instructional videos, video books, seminars and written materials for use by individuals who are preparing college applications. Specifically, the Sites, services, and Products help you identify problem areas and other issues commonly encountered on the SAT in an effort to prepare you for optimum performance.

Services, Products and any other information available through the Sites do not guarantee any particular result and are meant only to be informational tools to assist in your preparation and study for the ACT or SAT. Olive Book is not affiliated with any commercial test preparation course or entity and provides materials for study preparation assistance only. Communications between you and Olive Book are protected by our Privacy Policy, provided below.

Olive Book provides information and documents that we hope will be helpful to those of you who have elected to manage your own method of test preparation. While Olive Book makes an effort to keep our materials current and updated, because tests and the information available about them can change at any time, Olive Book can in no way guarantee that its Products and services are completely up to date at any given time. If you should need further direction or test preparation assistance, Olive Book strongly encourages you to consult with supplemental test preparation providers for additional support.

You agree not to make unauthorized use of or otherwise infringe upon Olive Book’s Intellectual Property in any way, and understand that it is your responsibility to ensure you refrain from doing so.

So long as you comply with this Terms of Use and during the term of your use of the Products and services as otherwise provided for by Olive Book, Olive Book grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to view and use the Products solely for your personal use as a study aid and solely as directed on the Site (the “Permitted Use”).
