I worked with Seth at TestCrackers for three months through their one-on-one tutoring package, and the results speak for themselves: a 90-point increase in my GMAT score leading to a 685+ score. From day one, Seth brought deep expertise, structure, and focus to every session. He quickly diagnosed the root causes of my performance gaps and built a tailored study plan using TestCrackers' proprietary materials, which are some of the most thoughtfully designed GMAT prep resources I've seen. In addition to the one-on-one sessions, I received access to a full suite of book resources, drills, and practice tools that reinforced the concepts we covered and helped me build confidence through repetition and strategy. What stood out most was the customized approach. Seth didn't rely on generic test prep methods. He honed in on exactly what I needed to improve, broke down complex topics into digestible frameworks, and taught me how to think like the test maker. His feedback was always clear, targeted, and immediately useful. He also knew how to keep me motivated and accountable throughout the process, adjusting the pace when needed but never letting me lose sight of the goal. Thanks to Seth's guidance, I walked into test day not just hoping I'd score well, but knowing I was fully prepared. I can't recommend Seth or TestCrackers enough for anyone who wants a serious, strategic edge on the GMAT and a tutor who's truly invested in your success!! read more

I studied for the GMAT with TestCrackers. I don't have the words to express how incredible Seth and Yuri are, but the numbers speak for themselves: I went from a 490 on my first practice test to a 695 on the official test with a perfect verbal score. Seth and Yuri go beyond teaching content. They both do this full time, which can't be said for all prep companies, and it's clear that they care deeply about the material that they create and their individual students. They are incredibly engaging in the live classes, Seth is hilarious and incredibly good at verbal, Yuri is such a talented quant teacher, and both work hard to find ways to tailor their teaching style to each student and go out of their way to send words of encouragement when they can. They also offer in-person tutoring in the Bay Area, which is rare, but was essential for me. I wouldn't even consider a different company for GMAT or GRE prep. These guys are the real deal. read more

Where do I begin? I was referred to TestCrackers when I landed on Georgetown's waitlist for their full time MBA program. I had taken the GRE 3 times already and had been unable to raise my score. I was a last minute client with really tough timing constraints to work in, but Yuri was kind enough to take me in for his private tutoring sessions. I cannot say enough good things about Yuri - he is a world class tutor. He teaches in a way that is so understandable and pushes you to be the best you can be. He helped me overcome all the stresses of preparation and was so supportive on my test day. I was able to raise my GRE by 6 points with only a little over two weeks of tutoring!!! If you are looking for incredible test preparation, you need to use TestCrackers and ask for Yuri! I was accepted into Georgetown and I fully believe it would not have been possible without him. read more

If you are feeling overwhelmed preparing for the GMAT/GRE or are on the fence about signing up for a class - this is your sign to 100% sign up for TestCrackers! I originally self studied in 2018 with Magoosh and Manhattan Prep books - I crammed for 4 weeks and spent most of my time relearning math concepts. I did fine, but assumed I would need to retake and continue to improve my Quant score. Fast forward to 2022 as a new mom with limited time to study - I realized some targeted support would help me focus my studies. Talking to Yuri for 30 minutes showed me how knowledgeable and supportive this team is. TestCrackers teaches you strategy and shows you how to organize and prioritize your study time. Two weeks into my Verbal class I had already raised my score - pretty neat considering how much lower stress this period of studying has been! Thank you to Yuri, Seth and Isaac !! read more

If you are preparing to take either of these exams, you need to spend the money to take this class. The instructors love their jobs and they make the intense 3 hr classes bearable. They provide the materials you need as well as the ability to watch instruction videos as a recap. They also will read your practice analytical writing essays so you know how you can improve in order to reach the 4-6 scores. I recently took the GRE and there is no way i would've gotten the scores I did on my own. This class gave me the strategies to study and score high. The class isn't cheap, but it's worth every penny three times over. P.S. they provide snacks, water and coffee (and you'll need it!) read more

After taking the Manhattan Prep complete course for GMAT, I felt like I had learned all the material but my score was not improving. Frustrated and overwhelmed, I began searching for a private tutor and discovered Testcrackers through a friend. After a few 1-1 sessions with Seth, I was finally starting to see results. Seth is super patient, kind, and supportive. I was already scoring quite high on the Verbal section, but with Seth's guidance I was able to boost my score even higher, routinely scoring 99th percentile on practice exams. He showed me how to apply an almost formulaic approach that ensured I wouldn't fall back on what "sounds right," and instead was able to eliminate wrong answers until I was confident I had the correct one. Quant was the real challenge for me, but Seth was able to distill topics in a way that just made sense. It got to the point where I wouldn't even reference the Manhattan Prep materials, since many of their strategies added unnecessary layers of confusion which tripped me up. Instead, I worked through the Testcrackers booklets and many official practice problems. After months of studying, I am happy to report I was able to crack 700 on the actual GMAT exam! I couldn't have done it without Testcrackers! read more

I recently completed the Verbal GMAT review course at TestCrackers. Honestly, I was not really looking forward to doing this all. Back in early 2020, I told myself I didn't need to take or pay for a class and I promised myself that I would learn how to study for the GMAT on my own. After months of procrastinating (and never studying), I realized that I would not be motivated to study without some form of external help. Now that I have completed the course, not only am I motivated to study more, I also know HOW to make my study time effective. The truth is, I couldn't have learned what I did without taking this course. It also must be noted that my instructor Seth (somehow) made the content of this course... interesting? If, prior to the course, you told me that I would be laughing and smiling while taking this class, I would roll my eyes. I was pleasantly surprised when I started enjoying it. Seth was excellent. So, if you are on the fence about taking a course with TestCrackers, I recommend that you do it. I will start the TestCrackers Quant course soon and will leave a review on that as well. BTW New Yorkers- my vote is to choose TestCrackers over Manhattan Prep or any of the other gigantic test prep companies. The content is more interesting, the classes are smaller, and you get more hours with experts. It's a no-brainer. TestCrackers has students all over the world. No time zone issues for me! read more

If you are considering signing up for a GMAT test prep course, this is the one! Even if you think you can study on you own, I highly recommend taking a TestCrackers course. I am pretty self-motivated so I tried to self-study but after a month, I was still scoring in the 500s. I initially signed up for TestCrackers because they have a Quant only course but after several phone calls with Yuri, I decided the marginal extra cost for Verbal could be worth it. TestCrackers teaches amazing techniques that you cannot get from even the best GMAT books. The instructors are incredible! They make learning Quant fun - I cannot tell you how many times I laughed in Isaac's classes and I was honestly sad when the course was over. Most importantly, they turned problems that I hated into problems that I could quickly knock out of the park. They also go out of their way to help their students, and included in the class fee are office hours. I had a moment where I was about to give up on the GMAT, and Seth encouraged me to keep at it with some new timing techniques and skip strategies. I took the Quant and Verbal classes concurrently and did all of the assigned homework and jumped from the 500s to the 700s. I took my official GMAT a month after I started with TestCrackers and scored a 730 :) I really could not have done it without the TestCrackers team! read more

TestCrackers was a game changer for my studying process for the GRE exam and I was also able to apply my learning to the GMAT exam as well. Anisa Ray was my Verbal and Math tutor for the GRE, and she is fantastic at providing students with tailored approaches for maximizing results. She is extremely kind and patient and her approach to reading comprehension, which was my weakness, truly changed my thought process around the exam and provided me with more confidence. I highly recommend her as a tutor. read more

I took the verbal GRE course at TestCrackers which covers the verbal section of the GRE and the essay. I really enjoyed the reading comprehension strategies taught as well as the essay outlines given. If you are looking for a comprehensive program that teaches you strategies then TestCrackers is the way to go. They also give you a ton of free material like flash cards and study guides. TestCrackers really helped me increase my GRE score and I would recommend it to everyone. read more

Test Crackers needs to teach a Harvard Business School course on customer service and making people obsessed with your product. In my case, the "product" was the GRE. I went through a very difficult journey trying to master the GRE but Yuri, Anisa, and Isaac made it as seamless as possible. They are so patient and no matter how dumb the question is, they'll answer it. They truly care about the students and will respond to your questions even a year later when you reach out! read more

This is an amazing program that offers a lot of flexibility and personalized help. The teachers are so engaging/personable and make you feel like its okay to ask questions and are happy to explain concepts as many times as you need. They will even answer questions months after your classes have finished. They truly care about helping you get the best score. Don't hesitate to sign up, this is the best way to prepare for the GMAT. read more

I had the best experience working with Yuri via personal tutoring for the GRE. I was considering classes and he analyzed my results for over an hour before suggesting that I would benefit from learning in only a couple of specific areas. Yuri was a thoughtful tutor and did not expect memorization of long formulas but instead taught great concepts that were extremely helpful. In terms of results, my math score went up 10+ percentile in 3 weeks. I HIGHLY recommend TestCrackers and Yuri!! You won't regret it. read more

I cannot recommend TC enough! Classes with Isaac and office hours with Seth and Anisa made all the difference in my GMAT test prep, managing to be equally educational, engaging, and enjoyable. They taught frameworks and best practices that made my studying infinitely more straightforward and focused. Thanks so much TC for all your support and guidance! read more

I had been struggling on the GMAT after a month of so of self study. I was luckily introduced to this program which turned out to be the exact structure and strategy guidance that I needed. Yuri and Seth provided a tailored approach for me, focusing on specific areas more than others. As I made incremental progress, I decided to make things more challenging and move cross country to New York. Yuri and Seth were flexible on timing and just as helpful over video as in person. I was thankfully able to hit my goal score -- I probably would never have been able to apply to grad school had it not been for this program. read more

As someone who had tried a live-Kaplan class, Manhattan Prep, and Test Crackers, I can say unequivocally that Test Crackers is the best test prepping experience. Yuri and his team are incredibly kind and empathetic -- breaking down key concepts required for the GMAT, but also impart proprietary strategies that boosted my score significantly. I found this to be the perfect hybrid of in-person accountability while also allowing me enough time to go through the homework assignments (very manageable) and observe incremental progress through the term. As a result, I was lucky enough to get into my dream MBA program -- for something as important as graduate school, don't take a chance and go with the best in the business! read more
