    My GMAT score trajectory under Stuart:…read more 530 (practice exam I took before I hired Stuart) After hiring Stuart: 660 (first practice exam) 680 (second practice exam) 680 (third practice exam, same score but with IR improved) 690 (first real exam) 750 (fourth practice exam) 750 (re-take of real exam, and with a higher Quant than the 750 on practice) Stuart is a full service GMAT tutor. He doesn't just teach you the material. He teaches you how to strategically approach each question, how to mentally prepare yourself, how to study, and even the mechanics of what goes on at the test center. As an adult, I haven't needed my academic accommodations records in a long time, but Stuart walked me through that process as well. And the proof is in the pudding. I went from a score that I wouldn't have bothered reporting to a score that's above average at every school in the country!

    Thinking about applying to City Year? DON'T DO IT…read more I became a corps member shortly after I graduated from college and it remains the worst decision I've made in my life. I was a newly minted graduate from a nearby liberal arts college and I wanted to do some good in the world (as you've probably guessed, I was also really naive). I'd always been interested in educational issues and because I was a history major who didn't quite know what to do next, I thought it would be cool to spend a year in a school tutoring while I figured everything out. That was a big mistake. For me the strangest thing about City Year is the level of contempt it had for education. Many corps members and staffers have never gone to college (some don't even have high school diplomas), and as such, cannot read or do math above a third or fourth grade level. There is no reading or math test given to CIty Year applicants and the City Year site has no problem placing a tutor who can barely add fractions into an eighth grade math classroom. More than once, I'd see a child actually correct their tutor on their math or tell their tutor they were pronouncing a word wrong. It's a shame, because City Year promises these schools that their tutors will help bring up test scores and providing these classrooms with illiterate tutors really damages the cause. How unqualified are City Year tutors? One corps member on my team once wrote an entire essay without using a SINGLE VERB. Sample sentence: "My mom my hero because she strong." I'm not making this up. City Year being City Year, any corps member that criticized that fact that many corps members were unqualified were berated and told that they were hurting City Year's mission. (Notice how City Year thinks a college graduate who criticizes the organization's methods is more damaging to the organization's mission than a tutor who would write a sentence like that. It says it all really.) City Year also has no problem letting its corps members and staff design lesson plans that are at best ineffective and at worst factually incorrect. Would you want your kid to do a lesson designed by a 19-year-old high school dropout? (Keep in mind that no one actually fact-checks the lesson plans.) And then there's the culture of the organization. I found many City Year corps members (and a huge number of the staff) to be extremely homophobic, sexist and generally intolerant. Management turned a blind eye to it all, because they were more concerned with the organization's image than with the quality of life of their employees and addressing the homophobia problem would actually require acknowledging that there was a problem to begin with. (And City Year did not provide any training about homophobia or sexual harrassment to its managers or employees, which sounds like something that would happen in the 1970s, and not in the 2000s.) Absenteeism was also a big problem at City Year, but no one in management really did anything about it. If City Year management likes you, you can basically do whatever you want without any consequences. However if a corps member points out that the rules are not consistently applied, they will be punished, even if your work in the classroom is stellar. I hope this review encourages other former corps members to speak out about the insane practices that go on at the City Year Greater Philadelphia site. If I could go back in time and advise my 22-year-old self, I'd tell her to just get a 9-5 job and volunteer with Philadelphia Cares on the weekends. If I had done so, I would have saved myself a lot of grief.

    I have a lot to say about this biz so put on your glasses…read more I had a great instructor, big ups on my LSAT score, and excellent admissions consulting which helped me into my top choice law school. I chose Blueprint to study for my second LSAT for a few reasons. I liked that they are a young upstart--I thought that they would take the time to personalize the class experience as much as possible, to compete with the rest of the test prep market. And that was true....I didn't feel like a customer, but instead like a student. The course was unique, positive, sometimes real fun. The LSAT can be so very dry and Blueprint has a great approach. Instead of logic game after logic game, I loved the times when we'd write our own. Like, when six of our classmates--L, D, S, P, T, and B--participated in the Beerlympics. L & D don't play flip cup together, there's three people playing quarters, I play wifflebeer (always, as in real life), etc. Those kinds of activities brought the LSAT down to earth. The course gets more difficult as it progresses, but maintains the humor. I know that their website has a bunch of interesting features but to be honest I rarely used it, other than for scoring my test and looking at question statistics. And studying the sucker answers (effffff those). I did not quite reach my target score, but that is nobody's fault but MY OWN. Blueprint gives you a ton of homework, and I completed only some assignments. I do feel that I successfully learned to read and understand the LSAT for the scheming whore that it is. But, to get the advertised "+11" you apparently must not overlook the homework. I stuck with my Blueprint instructor for help with my applications. He took the time to get to know me and my interests in more detail and helped me to cultivate great ideas for my essays. He was constantly available even for minor questions. I did supplement his counsel with my college prelaw advisor's, and I was glad to have multiple perspectives--on my resume, in particular. In the end, I had killer essays that I was happy to submit. In the real end, I was admitted to my #1 choice with a fat scholarship. Overall I had a great experience and would highly recommend Blueprint to anyone who's serious about the LSAT and law school.

    I found Blueprint incredibly, incredibly helpful. The instructor was wonderful, very knowledgable…read moreand friendly, the course materials were perfect, and the online access and videos were great. I have absolutely no complaints, nor can I think of anything that could have made it a better experience. I went up by 14 points from my first cold take to one of my final takes with Blueprint, and they have plenty of data on their website (worth checking out if you have doubts) regarding average score increases. If you're shopping for a prep course, don't bother looking further.
