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 lessons where I found the bug myself were the ones I remembered best. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.

- IGCSE / GCSE
The feedback I received on IGCSE Economics was clear and practical. We could make the workload lighter during busy weeks at school or university. Balancing Quant and Verbal in the same week worked better than studying them in blocks. My mock results gradually became more consistent. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.
Carlo Reyes
- IGCSE / GCSE
Breaking IGCSE Economics into smaller pieces worked much better for me. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see.
Bora Min
- IGCSE / GCSE
Breaking IGCSE Statistics into smaller pieces worked much better for me. My tutor made it easy to ask questions from the first lesson. We focused more on understanding what the problem asked than memorizing formulas. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster. My confidence improved along with the results. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.
Lautaro Tellez
- IGCSE / GCSE
Seeing several versions of the same topic made unfamiliar questions less stressful. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
Francesca Marchetti
- IGCSE / GCSE
Over time, IGCSE Art and Design became one of the most organized parts of my IGCSE / GCSE preparation. My mock results gradually became more consistent.
Alana McGrath
- IGCSE / GCSE
After the first attempt, we looked for a calmer plan for the retake. The lessons started being followed without constant reminders from us. Preparation looked calmer and more organized closer to the exam. Past-paper work continued without falling behind in current school topics. The plan was adjusted when school exams became busy. We quickly felt that the tutor was a good match.
Finn Gilmour
- IGCSE / GCSE
I chose IGCSE Business Studies this year and wanted to build a solid base from the beginning. I stopped doing a huge amount one week and nothing the next. Choosing questions by topic made my practice time much more useful. With data-heavy questions, I began reading the task before getting lost in the table. I left the exam feeling that I had done what I could. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.
Buse Akbulut
- IGCSE / GCSE
Our daughter needed regular support with IGCSE Additional Mathematics. We were able to follow the mock results regularly. We thank the tutor and the TestPrep team.
Connor Tully
- IGCSE / GCSE
After my first attempt, I wanted the second round of preparation to feel more organized. Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. I became much more careful with graphs, experiments and data-based questions. The plan changed with my mock and homework results, so the work never felt random. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.
Gavin Franklin
- IGCSE / GCSE
I was close to my target, but my results changed a lot from one test to the next. Over time, IGCSE Psychology became one of the most organized parts of my IGCSE / GCSE preparation. The plan changed with my mock and homework results, so the work never felt random. Source questions became easier once I noticed how small details affected the mark. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.
Valentin Picard
- IGCSE / GCSE
I was taking IGCSE Sociology at school, but getting used to the exam questions took time. I used the question bank regularly to return to weaker topics. I found a better balance between regular school and exam preparation. I was really happy with the lessons.
Claire McMillan

Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. Breaking IGCSE Psychology into smaller pieces worked much better for me. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
Isadora Azevedo
- IGCSE / GCSE
The IGCSE / GCSE format felt unnecessarily confusing at first. Over time, IGCSE Economics became one of the most organized parts of my IGCSE / GCSE preparation. I started tracking the type of mistake, not just the number of questions I completed. Balancing Quant and Verbal in the same week worked better than studying them in blocks. I found a better balance between regular school and exam preparation. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.
Paula Baez
- IGCSE / GCSE
The feedback I received on IGCSE Psychology was clear and practical. Connecting examples back to the main point made my writing more consistent. After a while, the questions started to feel much more familiar.
Marit Peters
- IGCSE / GCSE
The feedback I received on IGCSE Economics was clear and practical. I went into the exam much calmer than I would have before.
Tomas Novak
- IGCSE / GCSE
After my first attempt, I wanted the second round of preparation to feel more organized. Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. Using the mark scheme to review my own answer was surprisingly helpful. By the end of each lesson, I knew what I was supposed to do during the week. We didn't spend extra time on things I already knew. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.
Linh Huynh
- IGCSE / GCSE
Everyone recommended different resources and I kept switching between them. I finally understood what was going wrong in IGCSE Biology. One bad mock no longer made me want to drop the whole plan. Once I understood the reasons behind the facts, the questions felt less random. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
Danica Peric
- IGCSE / GCSE
After the first attempt, we looked for a calmer plan for the retake. We were pleased with the support we received.

Linh Nguyen
- IGCSE / GCSE
I wasn't starting from zero, but the same mistakes kept showing up in my mocks. I used the question bank regularly to return to weaker topics. My mock results gradually became more consistent. I was really happy with the lessons.
Ashleigh Wakefield
- IGCSE / GCSE
I wasn't starting from zero, but the same mistakes kept showing up in my mocks. The mocks showed where my time was actually being lost. I became much more comfortable asking questions in class. The preparation felt calmer than I expected.

Over time, IGCSE Economics became one of the most organized parts of my IGCSE / GCSE preparation. I stopped doing a huge amount one week and nothing the next.

I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.
