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!

  • LSAT

    I had been studying alone, but my results stopped improving after a point. Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. My written answers became shorter, clearer and easier to follow. One bad mock no longer made me want to drop the whole plan. Lesson times could fit around school, university or work. Thanks to everyone who supported me.

    Jordan McMillan

  • LSAT

    Breaking Logical Reasoning into smaller pieces worked much better for me. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster.

    Gonzalo Espinoza

  • LSAT

    After my first attempt, I wanted a calmer and more focused plan for the retake. Choosing questions by topic made my practice time much more useful. I stopped choosing answers by feel and started looking for evidence in the passage. My tutor made it easy to ask questions from the first lesson. I used the question bank regularly to return to weaker topics. The preparation felt calmer than I expected.

    Peiyu Sun

  • LSAT

    Over time, Reading Comprehension became one of the most organized parts of my LSAT preparation. I stopped doing a huge amount one week and nothing the next. I learned not to spend the same amount of time on every line of a long text. After a while, the questions started to feel much more familiar. I left the exam feeling that I had done what I could. I was really happy with the lessons.
