Before and After Results
Real score improvements from students in our SAT, AP, ACT and GMAT programs.
Detailed Case Studies
In-depth stories from our students who achieved outstanding results.
I was devastated after my first SAT attempt. The diagnostic test identified my weak points in Reading and Math, and my tutor created a focused plan. In 4 months I went up 240 points and got accepted to UCLA!
After trying other programs, TestPrep Istanbul finally worked. The personalized approach to Data Sufficiency and Critical Reasoning made all the difference. Now I'm doing my MBA at Wharton.
The Science section was my biggest weakness. My tutor taught me efficient data interpretation strategies. The small group format kept my motivation high and I went from 24 to 34!

I was doing questions for Optional Writing on my own but never had a steady routine. I never felt awkward asking the same thing again. Lesson times could fit around school, university or work. Discussing why the other choices were wrong helped more than I expected. I became much more comfortable asking questions in class. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.

The plan was adjusted when school exams became busy. Communication with the team was straightforward and our questions were answered. We were pleased with the support we received.
Vikram Mehta
- ACT
Over time, ACT English became one of the most organized parts of my ACT preparation. Near the exam, it was clear what to keep doing and what to stop. My written answers became shorter, clearer and easier to follow. I became much more comfortable asking questions in class. After a while, the questions started to feel much more familiar. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.
Felipe Braga
- ACT
Everyone recommended different resources and I kept switching between them. After each test, we looked beyond the score and reviewed the type of each mistake. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
Franco Benitez
- ACT
I can now decide much faster when to move on from a question. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
Piper Vaughn
- ACT
The ACT format felt unnecessarily confusing at first. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see.
Brooke Jarvis
- ACT
At the beginning, we knew very little about the ACT system as parents. Flexible scheduling helped during a demanding school year. Individual lesson time was used around our child's actual needs. The plan was adjusted when school exams became busy. A good connection with the tutor developed quite quickly. The overall experience was positive from beginning to end.
Lara Murray
- ACT
I wasn't starting from zero, but the same mistakes kept showing up in my mocks. Near the exam, it was clear what to keep doing and what to stop. Past-paper questions showed me how different topics could appear together. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
Gonzalo Ponce
- ACT
Everyone recommended different resources and I kept switching between them. I stopped doing a huge amount one week and nothing the next. Once I understood the reasons behind the facts, the questions felt less random. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
Catalina Meza
- ACT
Joining lessons willingly was one of the clearest signs for us. We quickly felt that the tutor was a good match.
Fajar Ramadhan
- ACT
The feedback I received on ACT Reading was clear and practical. I left the exam feeling that I had done what I could.
Yunfei Peng

The ACT format felt unnecessarily confusing at first. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
Vinicius Borges
- ACT
Everyone recommended different resources and I kept switching between them. I started tracking the type of mistake, not just the number of questions I completed. Lesson times could fit around school, university or work. I learned not to spend the same amount of time on every line of a long text. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.

Hugo Allard
- ACT
I was close to my target, but my results changed a lot from one test to the next. The class felt relaxed enough to ask questions without overthinking it. I became much more comfortable asking questions in class. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.
Mikkel Babic
- ACT
We noticed that the resources kept changing during independent study. Online lessons made it possible to continue without losing time on travel. The lessons started being followed without constant reminders from us. Topic-based question practice made study time more focused. We were able to follow the mock results regularly. Thank you sincerely to everyone involved.

Nicolas Carvajal

Keeping up with ACT while school was busy was harder than I expected. The preparation felt calmer than I expected.
Georgia Atkinson

At the beginning, we knew very little about the ACT system as parents. Joining lessons willingly was one of the clearest signs for us. We were happy with both the teaching and the communication.

Gaia Donati
- ACT
After my first attempt, I wanted the second round of preparation to feel more organized. The feedback I received on Optional Writing was clear and practical. When I got something wrong, we looked at why I chose that answer instead of only checking the solution. I learned not to spend the same amount of time on every line of a long text. I found a better balance between regular school and exam preparation. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.
Yunfei Hu
- ACT
I was taking ACT Math at school, but getting used to the exam questions took time. I stopped doing a huge amount one week and nothing the next. We focused more on understanding what the problem asked than memorizing formulas. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.
Priscila Nunes
- ACT
It was good to see confidence returning over time. The tutor supported regular study, not only the lesson content. We would recommend the program to students and families in a similar situation.
Beatrice DeLuca
- ACT
Over time, Time Management became one of the most organized parts of my ACT preparation. My confidence improved along with the results.
