I'm extremely disappointed with Blueprint LSAT Prep. Their so-called Score Increase Guarantee is…read morenothing but a scam. They will find any tiny excuse not to honor it, even if you followed the program closely. When I requested my refund, they claimed I didn't follow one obscure direction buried in the fine print. They hide the real rules and expect students to magically know them. I invested my time, energy, and money believing in their guarantee, but they refused to refund me. The entire process feels deceptive and dishonest. Don't be fooled by the marketing they will take your money and make it nearly impossible to qualify for their guarantee.

Not a fan of this course. The platform keeps crashing. Such a waste of money for what they charge.read more

I just started celebrating because I got the score I needed for graduate school while writing this…read morereview...already intoxicated but will try to make it readable... Absolutely AMAZING! I have spent so much money on GRE prep services (thousands) but this is by far the best thing that actually made a HUGE impact on my GRE score overall. I cannot say enough about Charles and his ability to teach the material. He is both passionate and constantly full of energy... that's probably an understatement. Although he sometimes goes quickly through the material, he will ALWAYS stop if you have questions on how to go about answering the questions. In addition, he is always adamant about getting the students to text him, calling, emailing, carrier pigeon-ing, with questions that pertain to the material if you are having trouble. The tricks and strategy on ways he taught me on how to approach each question on the GRE test allowed me to answer most of the questions that I struggled with. He is one of the greatest factors that allowed me to put this burden that has plagued my progression in life down like a dirty dog... so dirty... In addition, the online modules that accompany the Princeton Review is exceptional! Not only are both the presenters attractive (not bisexual) but they go over in detail on how to approach each question step-by-step which allowed me to answer most of the questions that came up on the GRE. I can't speak for those who had bad experience from the MCAT or any other test but, regarding the GRE, Princeton Review is what allowed me to get through this test (with the addition of memorizing an a@@ load of flashcards) and able to finally apply to the graduate schools that will allow me to finally be able to call myself doctor!!!

I wanted to give PR a higher rating but this was the best my son & I could agree on…read more Some background...I consider my son bright with a strong work ethic. Prior to taking the SATs his only standardized test experience was the PSAT & without studying scored 1360. I had big hopes for him doing great in his SATs so we went the a PR private tutor ($3200, not an insignificant amount for us) as insurance. I was a bit surprised when he took PRs initial test assessment (1220) but not overly concerned. I figured with private tutoring he'd vastly improve because he had never seen a single SAT question/test. The PR Westwood private tutor dept manager...very professional & always responded quickly & thoroughly. Five stars The PR private tutor...very professional. The studying/homework requirements struck me as a bit lax, I would have expected a heavier workload. I also would have liked a bit more communication especially if there was any inkling that results would underwhelm. Four stars Results...my son took the SAT twice & both times was mid 1300s which was disappointing. To the Westwood office credit, I think they too were disappointed with the first result & offered six additional hours of free tutoring to prep for a 2nd attempt. But the results were near identical, no material improvement. Why two stars? The response from the Student Guarantees office. I thought there was a +150 pt refund guarantee for the tutoring services (so did the Westwood office) but the Student Guarantee office rejected my request. According to them, they take a baseline (1220 for my son) then "We'll then compare your starting score to the score you received on the official test." Fair enough, they don't state what that means. According to the Student Guarantees manager when I asked if PR would be satisfied with their services if my sons score went from 1220 to 1230 under the $3200 private tutoring program, he replied "Yes that is correct, any score increase satisfies the term of the money back guarantee, for the Standard tutoring package." Wow, how many parents would fork over $3200 knowing that? I'm not trying to be trivial but I would have expected a more empathetic & reassuring response from a company that touts their focus on customer results & satisfaction.

I have used many tutors in the past. Chemistry tutors, GMAT test preparation tutors, Calculus…read moretutors, you name it. Throughout my college career I have tried it all and nothing came close to my experience with Tutor Me LA. They are kind, caring, and the tutors are excellent. I even referred Tutor Me LA to my niece who increased 200 points on her SAT! The educational director WORKS WITH YOU and that is why I love them. It was far more than finding me a tutor, but they really got to know me and went to great lengths to ensure I did well and that is something that is rare and deserves to be appreciated. Thank you Tutor Me LA for your help, students like myself truly need your service and you all are doing a great job at ensuring that quality is not sacrificed. Shout out to Melissa, Scott, and Jared for always putting up with me and my last minute request and emails asking questions off the clock. You are all absolutely amazing! Another a great experience!

The threats are scary and I honestly believe they should be stopped."

The Berkeley Review is an AMAZING MCAT test prep class and I would take it again in a heartbeat…read more(but I do not think I will need to after this class)! First off, some background on myself: I went to a top-tier university, but without a strong foundation in science, I did poorly in my premed prerequisites. I especially struggled in chemistry and biology. This course really gave me the confidence that I needed to take my MCAT and feel like I can actually get into medical school. I am the type of person that needs structure in my study schedule and this was the perfect way to keep myself on top of studying. Todd is a GREAT teacher and made learning about physics and chemistry so much easier than it was in my undergraduate classes. Cecile also taught organic chemistry topics in ways that made so much more sense. Other great teachers included Tarek (who focused on biochemistry) and Alex (who taught CARS lectures). What makes The Berekely Review (TBR) so much more than just an MCAT prep course, is the fact that the teachers are more than willing to talk about their experiences applying to medical school and what they did or what they would not do. Todd is also very knowledgeable in medical school apps and gave amazing advice. TBR felt like family - I met two other students and bonded with them immediately. This helps tremendously when you are struggling through hard concepts and practice exams. Lastly, I was very impressed by TBR's genuine care for its students - always emphasizing that they can spend extra time teaching concepts that we felt needed more review. Todd always welcomed feedback on class structure and showed how much TBR aims to make this a better class for everyone. Thank you, Todd, Cecile, and all Berkeley Review teachers for helping me with my MCAT prep. I know that I would not be getting the scores on my practice tests that I am currently getting without your help! Do not hesitate to sign up for this great course - you will not regret it!!!

I was able to take bathroom breaks between sessions, and it was one of the most relaxed test settings (while still adhering to all rules). The two dogs (Zeus and Zoe) are therapy dogs, incredibly mellow and gentle, as many of the people who use the center have special needs -- from what I understand the center helps place them with training and jobs. They started that aspect of the business because of their son, who is developmentally disabled (the dogs are his). Downside: parking is awful and public transit is nonexistent from my neighborhood, so I had to Lyft.

I am officially enrolled in the MBA program of my dreams at Yale and I can't tell you how critical…read moreit was for me to work with Chris Peckover at Manhattan Prep. 1 year ago, I decided to study for the GMAT on my own. I was very dedicated and studied EVERY day for a total of 125+ hours over the course of a few months. I practiced problems from the Official Guide. I completed the Verbal and Quant GMAT study guides front to back...twice. Then, I took the test. I scored nowhere near where I needed to be. I was completely devastated. I only had 1.5 months to get my quant score up and I was a severely sleep deprived new mom. Did I mention I was only interested in applying to one MBA program? No pressure, right? I decided to work with a private tutor and went with the best of the best: Chris at Manhattan GMAT. He worked around my schedule and within one session, he knew my study style and targeted my weaknesses. But most importantly, he was able to deliver custom-tailored strategies in a fun and memorable way. He created a proprietary system to zero in on my problem areas to help me improve your score in the most efficient manner. Long story short, I dramatically improved my score quickly and was accepted by my first and only choice school! I couldn't have done it alone and am forever grateful to Chris. The GMAT is not an IQ test. It's all about strategy so work with someone who knows them inside and out. Go with Chris!

Not only will your instructor have a perfect (or near-perfect) score, but all of his or her colleagues have perfect scores. They're 2) The company invests over $5,000 training every teacher before they're allowed to teach in the classroom.
