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 had been studying alone, but my results stopped improving after a point. We didn't spend extra time on things I already knew. My mock results gradually became more consistent. I was really happy with the lessons.

The PTE Academic format felt unnecessarily confusing at first. After enough examples of the same question type, the repeated mistakes decreased. We reduced the memorized phrases so my answers sounded more natural. I stopped doing a huge amount one week and nothing the next. Working across different difficulty levels made new questions feel less surprising. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.

I chose Write from Dictation this year and wanted to build a solid base from the beginning. When I got something wrong, we looked at why I chose that answer instead of only checking the solution. I learned not to lose the rest of a listening task because I missed one word. A big thank you to my tutor for all the support :)

The feedback I received on Computer-Based Practice was clear and practical. Predicting the output helped me catch small logic errors. My preparation became much more regular and easier to track.

I had been studying alone, but my results stopped improving after a point. The group never had more than six students, so it was easy to stay involved. The writing feedback helped me stop repeating the same sentence-level errors. I stopped doing a huge amount one week and nothing the next. Questions from other students often helped me as well. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.

The PTE Academic format felt unnecessarily confusing at first. Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. I wasn't trying to learn new topics at the very last minute. Thanks to TestPrep for helping me stay on track.

After enough examples of the same question type, the repeated mistakes decreased. Breaking Write from Dictation into smaller pieces worked much better for me. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.

Breaking Speaking & Writing into smaller pieces worked much better for me. I started tracking the type of mistake, not just the number of questions I completed. It took time to stop worrying about mistakes in speaking practice, but the lessons felt relaxed. After a while, the questions started to feel much more familiar. I left the exam feeling that I had done what I could. Thanks to everyone who supported me.

I finally understood what was going wrong in Repeat Sentence. By the end of each lesson, I knew what I was supposed to do during the week.

Knowing what to study reduced a lot of the stress. Thanks to TestPrep for helping me stay on track.

At the beginning, we knew very little about the PTE Academic system as parents. Preparation looked calmer and more organized closer to the exam.
