He got back to me quickly and was extremely accommodating. Plus, his rate is phenomenal. (Psst: it's a steal for a tutor of Vik's quality) He scheduled multiple appointments with me, and was even able to change a few to in-person when I requested that. I recommend having at least your first couple sessions in person so that he can see how you approach problems and better diagnose where you're going wrong. My biggest regret is not working with him sooner. He has a straightforward, easy approach. Regardless, he quickly saw areas I could improve, and helped me see a 10 point boost in my practice tests with only about 5 sessions. Of course, I did implement his recommendation of daily study time. Thanks Vik - can't wait to report back my November score!

Wow is all i can say! Hovik (the main instructor) helped me so much!…read more I reached out to Breakthrough lsat prep a few months ago and signed up for 1 training session. My practice score at the time was 156 and I know that's good but not good enough for UCLA and USC. After my one session I immediately signed up for 3 a week which has been perfect for me. Since then my practice scores have gone up into the 165s. Hovik is super helpful and a really clear communicator. After getting to know him I found out that he has taught in college as well.. I really recommend him to anyone that has bad scores or even good scores trying to take their score up a notch. (He took the LSAT once and got a 179!!) trust me you will be in good hands haha

Before I signed up: Early in January this year, I emailed BP if they offered student discount. They did but you had to go to their on campus event, which I did. And I emailed them asking if I was eligible to receive discount. The team member Krysta replied me and asked my name so she could verify my name on their sign-in sheet. She couldn't find my name (don't know why but I did) so she rejected to give me a discount code. Didn't really feel she's helpful. One month later, when I almost wanted to sign up another prep course company, I received their email about promotion code for signing up their course. I used the code but there's a bug on my account and I couldn't see the course showed on the home page. The other team members, who were really friendly and responded to my question fast. During the prep course months, they are very open to my feedback. BTW, I personally really like the recorded online course as secondary study materials. They just need to have someone really proofread and double check the courses, small errors like bugs in the videos, typos, notes doesn't match the instructor's words, suggestions on improvement for the courses. For the live online course: you have access to two live courses, recorded courses, homework (with video explanations), and office hours, which are host by different instructors (I found my favorite instructors there! love their office hours) I don't feel there are much different than in person class. I can enjoy eating my dinner with my pajama while taking the class. I can come back and rewatch the live recorded courses if I have any questions on certain topics. The instructors I have Jelena Woehr as my instructor. She's nice. However, I found that her voice is tooooo sofffttt that almost makes me want to fall asleep every time I take her class. She doesn't have many notes from herself like other instructors (will talk about it later) I didn't really learn much from her, because mostly she goes over the book. Missed 3 or 4? out of 12 courses (replaced by Dylan, who I found is the best! ). For other instructors, my reviews for them are based on office hours mostly. I love office hours and I think it will be a great if BP can open some free office hours for people who want to sign up the course and find the instructor they like. Jelena's course time was the best that can work for my schedule when I signed up, and I had no clue which instructor is better for live online course. If I knew whose class I wanted to take, I would sign up for the instructor's courses that I was sure to take. - Instructor Dylan Gadek: 5 stars! he sub for Jelena 3 courses and I found that he has great knowledge of what he's teaching. Funny guy. his class is very structure. has lots of his own notes and methods. you clearly know what you expected to learn from each of his class. I am still taking ALL his office hours. He's been teaching LSAT for years, and he used to teach MCAT. I found that LR & RC are his strongest part of teaching. - Instructor Chris Whyte: 5 Stars. He and Dylan are the top 1 instructor at BP from my opinion. He's really good at LG and RC. really knows what he's talking about and well prepared for every office hours. - Instructor Kyle: hmmmm..... I took his office hours for digital LSAT 101 topic. I am not sure if he's not prepared or what, the whole video, he seemed like really don't know what happened. 90% of time he said: hmmm.. but.. yea..." and he said "I don't what I am talking about lol " I had to use 1.5 x SPEED to listen his whole video. In the video he seemed like he's just reading the scripts? not really well prepared for this office hours. If I watch this video before signing up the course, I would not choose him as my instructor because I really don't want to spend money on instructors who are not prepared for the course. OMG, I wrote too much.. I need to take a break. The class is almost over, but I will still do their monthly subscription, just for their office hours. I will come back and updates the rest of the other instructors and this live online course reveiw. If you read through here, would you mind give me a like so I know there IS/ARE person/people reading my review, and I will come back finishing it just for those people?

All work was conducted during the COVID pandemic using Skype. Scott was very effective in relaying the material via the video sessions. Early on he conducted diagnostic testing to tailor the plan of action for my daughter. This helped him to direct my daughter's studies to focus on areas where she needed improvement. Scott is able to clearly identify the strategies for attacking the types of questions in addition to reviewing the general knowledge. My daughter found the tips and strategies to be very beneficial. Over the course of the study period she was able increase her scores on practice tests for both the verbal and quantitative reasoning sections. My daughter says she is very pleased with Scott's approach and found him to be very personable with sound knowledge of the material and also a good sense of humor. She is planning to take the GRE in Jan 2021 and feels very well prepared. Based on discussions with my daughter I highly recommend Scott as a GRE tutor.

His prep course and videos show why the right answers are right and how to know for sure and why the wrong answers are wrong and why for all lsat sections. You can always call him or email him with specific questions. He will get right back to you. You can chose from in class, online or private lsat prep course options. His course is reasonably priced I chose self study online and it was perfect for me a single full time working mommy of one. It provided me with the flexibility to start and come back on my own schedule. There's videos showing explanations for various questions for all four sections. I brought additional books and materials online from Amazon to focus on my weakest sections logic games and logic reasoning. Nathan is extremely helpful and supportive during my longgggg and challenging journey preparing for the lsat. My previous score went up six points the last time I took it in 2015. This time I expect an even bigger score increase especially where the games and logical reasoning sections are concerned. I started noticing patterns in the way the questions were asked on the lsat and learned how identify how to answer the question by focusing on what the question is asking in the logical reasoning section specifically. He also shows the best way to diagram the rules in the logic games and making inferences. That entails not wasting time diagraming unnecessarily and and certain rules you can hold in your head. That depends on the type of logical game your working on. I am more confident in crushing these sections after reading and practicing using the logical reasoning book and Logical reasoning playbook. I enjoyed the logical game playbook the most (never thought I would say that.) by the time I got to the second time practicing the game after reading the explanation I was crushing the games the second and third time around. It became fun especially when I could look at question after diagraming and doing inferences and knowing without a doubt which answer was right and why the others were wrong. I've been struggling with the logical games for quite some time and I can say I've conquered the fears and the doubts I once had. I'm very proud of myself! I took the lsat yesterday and kicked major butt! Practice over and over again. The lsat is a challenge but you will make it too!

I was in Nathan's LSAT class and benefited greatly from it…read more The material on the LSAT is boring as hell and Nathan does a great job of making the class fun with his humor. Nathan is constantly arguing with the speaker and using profanity (which is hilarious, btw) to keep the class alive. Actually, I think he's just being himself which makes the otherwise dry material very entertaining. Nathan scored a 179 on the LSAT so it seems he can do most of these in his sleep if he wanted to. In addition to covering the LSAT section he does a 30 minute Q&A before every class (530pm-6pm) where you can ask him anything related to law school. He is always honest about the pros and cons of pursuing a legal career which I appreciated. He also did a great job of bringing in guest speakers to answer questions you may have. Nathan is always available to his students. You can always email him and he'll get back to you. If you have a question about applying, want to send him your personal statement or got stuck on a question he's your man. I admire how available he makes himself. You can tell he wants to help people succeed on the LSAT and get into the best possible law school they can. One thing I particularly appreciated is he allowed me to pay on a payment plan. This helped ease some of the financial burden of a $500 a month class. His prices are very reasonable and worth every cent but his flexibility was very much appreciated. Nathan also offered proctored tests on the weekends so you get to mimic test conditions. I found those valuable. Unless you're an outstanding test taker my advice would be to take the class for 1-2 months. At that point you start to see the patterns in some of the logic games and get a feel for how to set them up and you may be able to recognize certain types of questions throughout the test. I 100% unequivocally recommend Fox Test prep. I researched a couple of places before choosing Nathan's class and preferred to support a local business and I can guarantee Nathan is funnier and more effective than any of the big test prep services out there. Thanks Fox Test prep!

I was working with Hailey on a Veritas Course prep for GMAT, and got a 770. A few thoughts below…read morebut tldr my success was not credited to Veritas Prep - 1. Before you start this course. If you are scoring above 700, I would not recommend this course as it spends a LOT of time on basic, pretty easy questions. 2. The pace of this class is S.L.O.W - the burden on the instructor is that she has to address all questions on the online 'chat'. That slows everything down, with people who have not done their homework affecting the progress of everyone else. 3. I give this review 3 stars because I loved the resources Veritas provides. There is enough to keep you busy every week, challenging questions, and covers all 'types' of questions. The practice tests are also hard and challenge you to think beyond the superficial. 4. Hailey was cool & so was her TA. I appreciated her help, her determination to make class fun, and her prompt replies to emails with follow-up questions. In conclusion, if you are already a high-performer and looking for a 20-30 point increase, I would point to Magoosh or if you got the cash, then a private tutor.

The class taught me not just how to master the material, but specifically (and very importantly) the strategies needed to score high. In all of my past education from elementary to university, I have never had a teacher as effective as Ravi. You can tell he knows everything backwards and forwards. If you doubt his credentials, you should know he has both an MBA and a JD. There's really nothing else that can be said. Well he's also really cool. So there's that.

If you're debating about enrolling in a GMAT prep program you might already know that the subjects covered in the GMAT are far ranging and can seem very complex for the average test taker. Speaking for myself, the math portion, also known as the quantitative portion would be the biggest hurdle, as it had been some time since I had taken any math in a classroom setting. I believe that teaching the math subjects can be very cumbersome for an instructor, as everyone in the class came in with different levels of understanding. That being said, Ken recognized that and took his time to start with the fundamentals and build up from there. He truly has the heart of a teacher.

Thank you to TestCrackers for all the support in my Executive Assessment…read more I took the GMAT Prep Course in May of 2024 to apply for business school. As a non-profit founder, I was in a tight budget and Yuri gave me a discount to afford the program. He sent me a free Foundations of Mathematics book and created a strategy to get me up to speed in preparation for the course. I would not have been able to complete the prep course if it were not for him. Seth, the Quant teacher, is one of the most brilliant minds that I have encountered. Not only knowledgeable and an expert in the content, it is clear that he is also passionate about what he does. As I was once a teacher myself, I could see that he has a great understanding of exactly what each student needs in terms of motivation, confidence, or accountability. High IQ and High EQ make him an invaluable asset. He has continued to advise me in my Business School journey and I probably wouldn't be able to excel without his support. But Martin was my favorite teacher! Martin teaches Verbal Reasoning and he welcome all students to provide their opinions and challenge the exams. He welcomes collaboration in the classroom, is humble enough to share when he is incorrect, and makes the classroom feel like experiential learning even when its online and remote. In my opinion, this is the easiest and fastest way for any student to grasp new concepts and he does a fantastic job in facilitating. With that being said, I was able to not only finish my exam, but I also was accepted into my first choice business school, one of the top programs in the world. Thank you so much to TestCrackers and the Team! Your work is invaluable. Although there may not be significant marketing for this company, their value and the results they generate speak volumes and is a testament to the quality of this company.
