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!

The feedback I received on Verbal Reasoning was clear and practical. A lot of my mistakes came from rushing through the wording of the question. I found a better balance between regular school and exam preparation.

I had been studying alone, but my results stopped improving after a point. I finally understood what was going wrong in Analytical Writing. Going back to the lesson recordings helped when I forgot a small step. I learned not to spend the same amount of time on every line of a long text. I became much more comfortable asking questions in class. A big thank you to my tutor for all the support :)

- GRE General
My mock scores were inconsistent, so it was hard to judge my actual level. I stopped doing a huge amount one week and nothing the next. I used the question bank regularly to return to weaker topics. A quick check after each answer helped me catch small mistakes. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.

I came back to Section-Adaptive Strategy after a long break and wasn't sure where to begin. The feedback I received on Section-Adaptive Strategy was clear and practical. I stopped doing a huge amount one week and nothing the next. I worked on keeping a steady pace instead of rushing the easy questions. My preparation became much more regular and easier to track. The preparation felt calmer than I expected.

I knew my target, but I didn't have a realistic routine for GRE General. Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. I worked on keeping a steady pace instead of rushing the easy questions. I started tracking the type of mistake, not just the number of questions I completed. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.

Kiara Rowntree
- GRE General
My mock scores were inconsistent, so it was hard to judge my actual level. Even in a group lesson, the tutor knew where each of us stood. Learning when to leave a hard question made a real difference to my timing. I never felt awkward asking the same thing again. The group never had more than six students, so it was easy to stay involved. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.
Alejandra Loyola
- GRE General
I had been studying alone, but my results stopped improving after a point. I stopped doing a huge amount one week and nothing the next. We were realistic about what could be improved in the time available. I learned not to spend the same amount of time on every line of a long text. I went into the exam much calmer than I would have before. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
Karina Mazur
- GRE General
My mock scores were inconsistent, so it was hard to judge my actual level. When I got something wrong, we looked at why I chose that answer instead of only checking the solution. A lot of my mistakes came from rushing through the wording of the question. Thanks to everyone who supported me.
Nolan Reynolds
- GRE General
In Analytical Writing, timing was costing me more points than the content itself. Questions from other students often helped me as well. Discussing why the other choices were wrong helped more than I expected. We could make the workload lighter during busy weeks at school or university. The group never had more than six students, so it was easy to stay involved. Thanks to everyone who supported me.

I came back to Data Analysis after a long break and wasn't sure where to begin. I finally understood what was going wrong in Data Analysis. The plan changed with my mock and homework results, so the work never felt random. Learning when to leave a hard question made a real difference to my timing. I became much more comfortable asking questions in class. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.
Jiaqi Peng
- GRE General
Balancing GRE General preparation with university and work was harder than I expected. I started tracking the type of mistake, not just the number of questions I completed. I started seeing shorter solutions that were easier to check under time pressure. Thanks to TestPrep for helping me stay on track.

Full-length mocks helped me get used to the real exam pace. The feedback I received on Analytical Writing was clear and practical. My confidence improved along with the results. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
Andre Borges
- GRE General
I came back to Text Completion after a long break and wasn't sure where to begin. Over time, Text Completion became one of the most organized parts of my GRE General preparation. Going back to the lesson recordings helped when I forgot a small step. I stopped choosing answers by feel and started looking for evidence in the passage. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see. Thanks to everyone who supported me.
Chelsea Redfern
- GRE General
Balancing GRE General preparation with university and work was harder than I expected. The plan changed with my mock and homework results, so the work never felt random. My written answers became shorter, clearer and easier to follow. I was really happy with the lessons.
Finn Kuiper
- GRE General
I knew my target, but I didn't have a realistic routine for GRE General. We didn't spend extra time on things I already knew. Discussing why the other choices were wrong helped more than I expected. By the end of each lesson, I knew what I was supposed to do during the week. My tutor could see my reasoning and usually found the source of an error quickly. I was really happy with the lessons.

Breaking Sentence Equivalence into smaller pieces worked much better for me. I wasn't trying to learn new topics at the very last minute.
