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 AP Exams format felt unnecessarily confusing at first. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see.
Nanami Watanabe
- SSAT
Our child had a clear goal but no steady study routine. Individual lesson time was used around our child's actual needs. A good connection with the tutor developed quite quickly. The plan was adjusted when school exams became busy. We were happy with both the teaching and the communication.
Cristian Ponce
- IB Diploma
After the first attempt, we looked for a calmer plan for the retake. Communication with the team was straightforward and our questions were answered. Returning to actual gaps instead of restarting everything saved time. A good connection with the tutor developed quite quickly. Mistakes became something to work on rather than something to feel bad about. Seeing the change in our child made us very happy.

Breaking IB Chemistry into smaller pieces worked much better for me. By the end of each lesson, I knew what I was supposed to do during the week. Past-paper questions showed me how different topics could appear together. My mock results gradually became more consistent. I left the exam feeling that I had done what I could. Thanks to TestPrep for helping me stay on track.

Joining lessons willingly was one of the clearest signs for us. Thank you sincerely to everyone involved.
Kaori Yamashita
- IB Diploma
As the exam got closer, I wasn't sure what I should actually review. I finally understood what was going wrong in IB ESS. We could make the workload lighter during busy weeks at school or university. Separating calculation errors from content gaps made revision more useful. My preparation became much more regular and easier to track. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.

- IMAT
Everyone recommended different resources and I kept switching between them. I stopped doing a huge amount one week and nothing the next. Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. Once I understood the reasons behind the facts, the questions felt less random. I found a better balance between regular school and exam preparation. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.

- UCAT
I was taking Decision Making at school, but getting used to the exam questions took time. Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster. The preparation felt calmer than I expected.

Breaking Section A MCQ into smaller pieces worked much better for me. I became much more comfortable asking questions in class.
Garrett Hastings
- PTE Academic
I was doing questions for Listening on my own but never had a steady routine. Breaking Listening into smaller pieces worked much better for me. I stopped doing a huge amount one week and nothing the next. It took time to stop worrying about mistakes in speaking practice, but the lessons felt relaxed. I went into the exam much calmer than I would have before. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.
Haoran Guo
- TOEFL iBT
The feedback I received on Speaking was clear and practical. I wasn't trying to learn new topics at the very last minute.
Frieda Dekker
- IGCSE / GCSE
After my first attempt, I wanted the second round of preparation to feel more organized. By the end of each lesson, I knew what I was supposed to do during the week. I became much more careful with graphs, experiments and data-based questions. I was really happy with the lessons.
Poppy Warren
- IMAT
Our son's school schedule was already very busy. The overall experience was positive from beginning to end.
Viola Vitale
- 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
- AP Exams
We wanted our child to keep up with the school pace in AP European History. We quickly felt that the tutor was a good match.

What annoyed me most was losing easy points because I rushed. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster.

Knowing the topic wasn't always enough; I had to learn which information the question actually needed. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.

When I started preparing for SSAT, I wasn't sure what order to study things in. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.
