Before writing this review in depth, I would like to begin by stating that Rachel's coaching &…read moretutoring was crucial in my preparation for the September 2022 LSAT, and her guidance was instrumental in receiving a 170s score on the exam - Rachel was a terrific teacher for me on my LSAT journey. For what it's worth, as a former PhD student with experience as a teaching assistant at a university, I can attest to the soundness & effectiveness of her pedagogical methods. Now, onto the rest of the review. At the age of 32, I decided it was time for something new, and started to study for the LSAT. I started off with all the usual recommendations such as The LSAT Trainer, the PowerScore LSAT Bible Trilogy, and The Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning. Self-studying with these books as well as a 7Sage account brought me to a good fundamental understanding of the LSAT, and after 9 months of studying, I received a 164 on my 1st LSAT. It was a bit of an underperformance, but indicative of the fact that some important details were missing from my understanding of the material & exam. I came across Rachel & Starpath Prep on Reddit after reading a positive account of a former student who had been a similar situation to me. After the scheduled consultation, we met over Zoom on a weekly basis for 2.5 months. During that time, my finer understanding & confidence in the LSAT grew each and every session as we went over RC & LR sections. As an adult diagnosed with ADHD, the organized daily study planning & check-ins were tremendously helpful in staying accountable and on-track. During our 2-hour weekly sessions, she made sure that all the fundamentals were understood to create a base from which to expand further into the nitty gritty details. She was able to quickly diagnose which question types were my problem areas, and also some more general test-taking tendencies that I had. Throughout all of this, she was patient & kind while being articulate & instructive - this was able to bring about both a well-rounded & pointed understanding of the material & question types. This allowed me to eliminate much of the hesitancy in my weaker question types (namely SA, NA, Flaw, Parallel Reasoning in LR). Essentially, my weaker areas were shored up while strengths were reinforced. As many who have been studying for the LSAT know, confidence is key and this cannot be understated, especially for those who are looking for a high score where the margins of error are so slim. With Rachel's help, we were able to systematically create a plan that gave me a solid sense of direction & pacing going into test day, and this preparation allowed me to take the real thing without too much additional pressure (as far as that is actually possible). I bought into the system, trusted the process, and the end result was a rewarding one. In addition, Rachel was more than accommodating with certain scheduling changes throughout our time working together as I still had other obligations in the midst of studying for the LSAT. Also, I do want to quickly mention that I believe her instruction to be of high value in terms of pricing given the quality & care in her instruction. When you consider the cost of tuition of law school in this day & age, and the potential difference in scholarship dollars at play with just a few increased points on your LSAT score, it should give one an appropriate & well-measured perspective on the matter. In conclusion, Rachel was a pleasure to work with, through and through, and for anyone who is serious about improving their understanding of the LSAT & ultimately their actual score, I wholeheartedly recommend Rachel & Starpath Prep on your journey to achieving your LSAT goals.

The LSAT was a true beast for me. It was so very hard. I was sitting at a 165. After working with…read moreRachel for half a year while working full time, I got a 173 on the real thing. I give Rachel a lot of credit for that. If you're like me, you take an online LSAT course, read several LSAT prep books, take a bunch of practice tests, then plateau in the low-160s. The LSAT did not come intuitively for me, and as all LSAT takers know, one question may translate to one or maybe even two points. So, if someone can give you a tip to help you get an additional question right, that literally translates to an extra point on the test. Below are several tips Rachel gave me specifically for what I struggled with: 1. A necessary assumption question's answer may also be a sufficient assumption; don't get confused. 2. For strengthening questions, Imagine you're giving a PowerPoint presentation trying to convince your audience of something. 3. Using shapes is a powerful method for attacking certain logic games. 4. Try doing LR questions backwards. For some people (like me), the psychological benefit of doing easier and easier questions as you move along may help. 5. For splitting game boards in LG, split them using rules that form the biggest "blocks". 6. For some people (like me), diagramming frequently in LR actually slows you down way too much. Rachel pointed that out to me; I never would've realized it. I never thought doing away with diagramming would actually increase my speed and accuracy. I imagine Rachel would give you different tips based on your specific weaknesses. After all, the tips above were provided to me based on my particular weaknesses she observed. Importantly, the LSAT is already a struggle, and you don't need a tutor who's just there to make some money on the side. Rachel is not like that. She shows up eager to help more than anything else. Thanks a lot Rachel; I owe you one!

I wont say what my current scores were, but when I took the test in 2005 I scored a 1080, so I needed major help. I was almost ashamed to even ask for Dr. Amar and David to even try given my unique circumstances. I got in. Is there anything more that can be said? I mean, that's what is important. That may even be why you are looking up Yelp reviews. Well actually there is more to say; Dr. Amar and David were patient, genuine, and personable. They took time to have informal conversations that made me feel like they were old friends. , The most important part of my tutoring was the tricks they teach you to make the test seem easier. I am 100% positive that I got all my percent change questions correct due to the techniques they taught me. We developed a plan of attack to where I'd tackle certain questions first; though it seems like common sense, I understood how to divide the short time we are given for each section.

This is a review for my admissions consulting experience with Elaine. In a word, working with…read moreElaine was exceptional. Elaine is empathetic and invested in your application showing who *you* are to the schools you are applying to. I started the process feeling like I knew the broad outlines of why I wanted to go to business school, through coaching Elaine helped me narrow down my story to a compelling and concise explanation. Throughout the process, I felt like I had someone in my corner available to answer questions and offer guidance. When I was writing my essays, Elaine was a guide in discussing what I wanted to highlight and how to make my story shine through back and forth. By the time I hit submit, I was sure my application was presenting the most refined and compelling version of myself to the application committee. I received interviews for both schools I applied to and was admitted to a top tier program. Elaine is consistently thorough in answering questions and challenging you to to get to the root of what you want to highlight to each program. She has a way of making amorphous prep for interviews feel like a step-by-step clear process. There are a lot of MBA consultants in the market. If you are considering working with Elaine on your applications... do it. The return on your investment is a no-brainer when you consider the investment you are making into an MBA.

TLDR: Austin GMAT review + Application Consultant services are top tier. Scored in the 82%…read morepercentile and got accepted to 3/3 programs I applied too with scholarships. I highly recommend Austin GMAT review for all your business school needs. I took the GMAT prep course with Dr Amar and he is one of the best instructors I've had. He breaks the test down barney style and covers everything you need to know. Every question I found on a practice test and the real test is derived from concepts he taught. I ended up taking the course twice, as the first time I wasn't able put adequate effort into studying, because I was still in my undergraduate program. Be forewarned, if you do not do all of the homework's and periodically review previous concepts throughout the course you will be in for a rude awakening when you take the GMAT. Everything you need to know is in the course, but its your job to retain it. Dr. Amar was nice enough to allow me to repeat the course a second time and I ended up taking the executive assessment where I scored a 155 (82% percentile). In regards to the application consultant services provided by Elaine. I can't recommend her enough. I was on a tight schedule to apply to two programs within a couple weeks and she was able to fit me in. She spent countless hours helping me brainstorm for the essays, reviewing them, and editing them. The finished products were amazing. I routinely had conversations with her late into the night and she made her self available to me whenever possible. She was able to completely redo my resume for me and was able to identify things I didn't even think about putting on there. She also helped me with all of the short answer questions on the applications, how to enter my work experience and extra curriculars. As a veteran, I used ServiceToSchool to apply to my undergraduate program, and while my ambassador was awesome, there was definitely a stark difference in the ability to provide information about the programs. Elaine's experience with different programs was invaluable, since she's helped so many students apply to these programs, she was able to tell me things that I was not previously aware of, such as different opportunities and in depth knowledge about the cultures/career outcomes etc. Elaine's interview preparation was on point as well. She essentially nailed 95% of the questions that were going to be in the interview and helped me prepare my answers to them. The ones she didn't tell me verbatim were just slight deviations from what I prepped for and were easy to answer. Elaine's consultant services are truly all encompassing, whatever your needs or questions she will go above and beyond to help. I can't thank the Austin GMAT team enough. In conclusion, with Dr Amar's & Elaine's help I was able to get accepted to all the programs I applied too, (2x top 20, 1x top 10) with 50% scholarships.
