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!

We noticed that the resources kept changing during independent study. Preparation looked calmer and more organized closer to the exam. We were happy with both the teaching and the communication.

The A-Level format felt unnecessarily confusing at first. Breaking A-Level Further Mathematics into smaller pieces worked much better for me. My tutor usually asked me to explain my thinking before stepping in. Seeing several versions of the same topic made unfamiliar questions less stressful. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see. Thanks to everyone who supported me.
Sloane Warren
- A-Level
After my first attempt, I wanted the second round of preparation to feel more organized. Choosing questions by topic made my practice time much more useful. I became much more comfortable asking questions in class. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.
Abbey Tully
- A-Level
At the beginning, we knew very little about the A-Level system as parents. A good connection with the tutor developed quite quickly. The small group offered peer learning without making it hard to ask questions. The plan was adjusted when school exams became busy. We were happy with both the teaching and the communication.

Volkan Ekinci
- A-Level
When I started preparing for A-Level, I wasn't sure what order to study things in. I finally understood what was going wrong in A-Level Chemistry. My tutor made it easy to ask questions from the first lesson. Separating calculation errors from content gaps made revision more useful. I went into the exam much calmer than I would have before. The preparation felt calmer than I expected.

Keeping up with A-Level while school was busy was harder than I expected. My preparation became much more regular and easier to track.
Kiara Draper
- A-Level
When I started preparing for A-Level, I wasn't sure what order to study things in. We didn't spend extra time on things I already knew. I understood that the portfolio needed to show the process, not only the finished piece. Near the exam, it was clear what to keep doing and what to stop. My tutor could see my reasoning and usually found the source of an error quickly. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.
Tessa Palmer
- A-Level
After the first attempt, we looked for a calmer plan for the retake. A realistic plan for the final weeks reduced stress for the whole family. A good connection with the tutor developed quite quickly. We were able to follow the mock results regularly. Seeing the change in our child made us very happy.
Ilse Kruger
- A-Level
Our child had a clear goal but no steady study routine. The lessons started being followed without constant reminders from us.
Tegan Quade
- A-Level
I was doing questions for A-Level Sociology on my own but never had a steady routine. We didn't spend extra time on things I already knew. Connecting examples back to the main point made my writing more consistent. I never felt awkward asking the same thing again. My tutor could see my reasoning and usually found the source of an error quickly. The preparation felt calmer than I expected.
Asli Aydin
- A-Level
I was doing questions for A-Level Further Mathematics on my own but never had a steady routine. My tutor could see my reasoning and usually found the source of an error quickly. I found a better balance between regular school and exam preparation. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.
Alana Bennett
- A-Level
The A-Level format felt unnecessarily confusing at first. We could make the workload lighter during busy weeks at school or university. 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. My confidence improved along with the results. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.
Samuele Coppola
- A-Level
I wasn't starting from zero, but the same mistakes kept showing up in my mocks. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.
Gabriele DeLuca
- A-Level
Balancing Quant and Verbal in the same week worked better than studying them in blocks. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
Mitchell Whelan
- A-Level
Breaking A-Level Chemistry into smaller pieces worked much better for me. Going back to the lesson recordings helped when I forgot a small step. I became much more careful with graphs, experiments and data-based questions. My preparation became much more regular and easier to track. My mock results gradually became more consistent. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.
Quentin Aubert
- A-Level
Our daughter needed regular support with A-Level History. Communication with the team was straightforward and our questions were answered. Being able to fit lessons around school made the process easier. Preparation looked calmer and more organized closer to the exam. We thank the tutor and the TestPrep team.

Communication with the team was straightforward and our questions were answered. We were pleased with the support we received.
Holly Gibson
- A-Level
Everyone recommended different resources and I kept switching between them. Focusing on past papers and mock review worked well near the exam. I left the exam feeling that I had done what I could. A big thank you to my tutor for all the support :)
Brodie Kearney
- A-Level
I was taking A-Level Art and Design at school, but getting used to the exam questions took time. My confidence improved along with the results.
Naina Hegde
- A-Level
What annoyed me most was losing easy points because I rushed. I finally understood what was going wrong in A-Level Art and Design. When I got something wrong, we looked at why I chose that answer instead of only checking the solution. I understood that the portfolio needed to show the process, not only the finished piece. I left the exam feeling that I had done what I could. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.

Fernanda Montoya
- A-Level
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. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see. Thanks to everyone who supported me.
Melis Kurt
- A-Level
I stopped listing facts in essays and started building an actual argument. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.
