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!

When I started preparing for ACT, I wasn't sure what order to study things in. My tutor made it easy to ask questions from the first lesson. Questions from other students often helped me as well. 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. Thanks to everyone who supported me.

- LNAT
Keeping up with LNAT while school was busy was harder than I expected. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.
Arda Ucar
- A-Level
As the exam got closer, I wasn't sure what I should actually review. I never felt awkward asking the same thing again. Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. Past-paper questions showed me how different topics could appear together. I wasn't trying to learn new topics at the very last minute. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.
Evie Ainsworth
- LNAT
The class felt relaxed enough to ask questions without overthinking it. The feedback I received on Reading Comprehension was clear and practical. I started noticing the reason for a mistake much faster. The preparation felt calmer than I expected.

Janelle Soriano
- IMAT
The feedback I received on Logical Reasoning was clear and practical. I started tracking the type of mistake, not just the number of questions I completed. Once I understood the reasons behind the facts, the questions felt less random. I became much more comfortable asking questions in class. My mock results gradually became more consistent. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.

- IB Diploma
The IB Diploma format felt unnecessarily confusing at first. Lesson times could fit around school, university or work. Source questions became easier once I noticed how small details affected the mark. I never felt awkward asking the same thing again. We didn't spend extra time on things I already knew. It was an intense period, but it was worth it.
Petra Solberg
- TOEFL iBT
I finally understood what was going wrong in Listening. My tutor usually asked me to explain my thinking before stepping in. 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 was really happy with the lessons.
Reina Kobayashi
- AP Exams
After the first attempt, we looked for a calmer plan for the retake. Communication with the team was straightforward and our questions were answered. Flexible scheduling helped during a demanding school year. A realistic plan for the final weeks reduced stress for the whole family. The plan was adjusted when school exams became busy. Seeing the change in our child made us very happy.

What annoyed me most was losing easy points because I rushed. We could make the workload lighter during busy weeks at school or university. We didn't spend extra time on things I already knew.
