Once you sign in, and just before your appointment, you are either given a physical key to one of the lockers or you get assigned a digital locker that lets you make your own code, On one of the days I was asked to show that my pockets were emptied. I suppose some proctors are stricter than others. There's a bathroom immediately outside the testing room, which is there to prevent cheating. They also provide individually wrapped earplugs for your use and a small dry erase sheet to write on. Would be happy to take another exam here if I need to.

When I was getting ready to tAke the test the individual at the counter (a young lady, who was very nice to me by the way), checked me in and handed me a key to a locker to put every piece of belongings I had before I sat at a desk(including hats). I kept the key and then was lead to the computer where they have pre-wrapped ear plugs for noise reduction, a calculator, paper and pencil. Hope I did not forget anything. The restroom is right outside the door. Good luck and God's blessings in whatever exams you take!

As a STEM student, I was not a strong writer or even very appreciative of literature. After working with me on a number of academic papers, I wrote with more confidence AND she taught me to appreciate prosody --the elegance in the written word-- to the degree that Thomas Hardy became my favorite author. She taught me to organize my thoughts and themes throughout a written piece. She also helped me organize my research. She helped me improve my grammar and punctuation skills which I carry with me to this day. With her help, I was able to bring up my grades significantly. She was always a patient, creative and imaginative teacher. I highly recommend Terry Graves.

She motivated my boy very well and developed an excellent rapport with him. The tutoring was tailored to suit his individual needs and was at a very suitable pace for him. Homework that was set added to the overall effectiveness. His practice test ACT scores steadily improved as time went on. I am sure that his final score was much better than it would have been without the tutoring. The college preparation went extremely well, from help in identifying suitable colleges to the actual application process. She gave outstanding advice in crafting a great set of college essays, while being scrupulous in ensuring it was his voice that shone through. There were a lot of essays and ensuring we kept on the timetable was a very important part of the job, as was the advice on structuring and editing. The proof of the pudding is in the eating and my boy had a terrific crop of excellent admissions results and was offered some great scholarships. He was admitted to his first-choice school where he starts in the fall. Overall, Terry was great help to us in our preparations for college and was a real partner in our journey.

This was based on the…read morerecommendation of our neighborhood, whose daughter had been attending the math tutoring for the last 4 years. Our daughter started about a little over 2 1/2 yrs ago, clearly she has been able to exceed the expectations of the program. The tutors kelvin and Eric have really design and evolved the math and science program so as to have students become inquisitive and much more interested in Mathematics without being afraid to ask questions. My daughter, Alexis has been able to solve challenging problems in advance placement math for H.S. We couldn't be happier with the results our daughter has archive thus far. Thank you Calvin and thank you Eric for your drive, passion and determination to make children succeed and excel. I would highly recommend any parent to send their kids to their after school program.

The teaching is very individualized and Calvin makes sure every student understands the concepts they are struggling with before he moves on. Thanks to Calvin my understanding of advanced physics and math concepts became very clear because he helped me master the basics of the subject first. What stood out was Lamont's writing and essay help. He guided me throughout college applications and applying to programs in college. Due to his assistance, my writing and speaking skills have improved greatly. I got into a top 15 college and landed prestigious summer research internships thanks to Lamont. Lamont helped me with expressing my personal goals in a clear manner, and especially focused on polishing my ideas into a personal statement that really showed who I was outside of my application. I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for both writing development and development as a person outside of college applications to work with Lamont, because his ability to help a student self-develop is incredible. 10/10 Definitely go to Lamont and Premier Academy for essay help, you won't regret it!

I cannot recommend them highly enough. Going back to high school, I had a terrific experience working with Advantage on my college entrance exams. Even though I hated studying in school, I genuinely enjoyed working with AT's teachers. Aside from being gifted instructors, they are some of the friendliest people you'll meet, and they seem to genuinely care about their students. I remember they customized a study plan for me, focusing on the areas of the test that I needed to improve the most. Following their plan, and using the strategies I learned in class, I earned a 760 Verbal, 750 Math I, 790 Writing, and an 800 Math II, all a significant boost above my diagnostic scores (which I recall being in the low ~600 range). Years later, when I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer, and began looking for the right LSAT test prep service, turning to Advantage was a no-brainer. On my first LSAT practice test, I received a diagnostic evaluation in the 55th percentile. I knew that I would need a significant (aka Elle Woods-level) jump in my LSAT score to have a decent shot at the top schools. That's when Advantage came in. Studying with Advantage tutors, you learn to break down each section of the test into a set of consistent techniques, which you hone and solidify over repeated practice tests. After months of test prep, I took the LSAT and scored a 99th percentile on the official exam. Equipped with a great LSAT score, I was admitted to my top choice for law school, a feat that had seemed impossible only a few months prior. Now, as a practicing attorney looking back on it, I am certain I would not have been nearly as well prepared with any other test prep service. In sum, I don't think there is anyone as professional or effective as Advantage when it comes to the hard work of preparing for high-stakes entrance exams. I recommend them without hesitation.
