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.

  • AP Exams

    Our son's school schedule was already very busy. It was good to see confidence returning over time. We were pleased with the support we received.

    Selin Ucar

  • AP Exams

    I chose AP Physics 1 this year and wanted to build a solid base from the beginning. My tutor made it easy to ask questions from the first lesson. Lesson times could fit around school, university or work. I became much more careful with graphs, experiments and data-based questions. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see. A big thank you to my tutor for all the support :)

    Caio Ramos

  • AP Exams

    Lesson times could fit around school, university or work. Breaking AP Biology into smaller pieces worked much better for me. I found a better balance between regular school and exam preparation. The preparation felt calmer than I expected.

    Greta Scholz

  • UCAT

    After my first attempt, I wanted the second round of preparation to feel more organized. Lesson times could fit around school, university or work. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.

    Esteban Reinoso

  • IELTS Academic

    I finally understood what was going wrong in Academic Reading. After a while, the questions started to feel much more familiar.

    Solene Granger

  • IB Diploma

    I was close to my target, but my results changed a lot from one test to the next. My tutor made it easy to ask questions from the first lesson. Keeping school units and exam preparation in the same plan worked really well. The feedback helped me improve my own work without writing it for me. My mock results gradually became more consistent. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.

    Tolga Ersoy

  • AP Exams

    Our child had a clear goal but no steady study routine. Flexible scheduling helped during a demanding school year. We thank the tutor and the TestPrep team.

    Jian Xia

  • ACT

    Our child wasn't sure how to organize the preparation for ACT. Online lessons made it possible to continue without losing time on travel. Seeing the change in our child made us very happy.

    Andrea Ibarra

  • GMAT Focus

    My mock scores were inconsistent, so it was hard to judge my actual level. Going back to the lesson recordings helped when I forgot a small step. We didn't spend extra time on things I already knew. A quick check after each answer helped me catch small mistakes. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.

    Diego Gomes

  • AP Exams

    Our daughter needed regular support with AP English Literature. It was good to see confidence returning over time. We were happy with both the teaching and the communication.

    Jimena Coronel

  • IGCSE / GCSE

    Keeping up with IGCSE / GCSE while school was busy was harder than I expected. My mock results gradually became more consistent.

    Romain Pascal

  • IB Diploma

    Our child wasn't sure how to organize the preparation for IB Diploma. Thank you sincerely to everyone involved.

    Lucy Webster

  • Digital SAT

    I was taking Reading & Writing at school, but getting used to the exam questions took time. Thanks to everyone who supported me.

    Ozan Ozturk

  • AP Exams

    The lessons started being followed without constant reminders from us. Seeing the change in our child made us very happy.

    Callum Garland

  • IGCSE / GCSE

    The feedback I received on IGCSE English as a Second Language was clear and practical. I found a better balance between regular school and exam preparation.

    Ozge Aksoy

  • IB Diploma

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

    Bryce Raines

  • PTE Academic

    The PTE Academic format felt unnecessarily confusing at first. The group never had more than six students, so it was easy to stay involved. I left the exam feeling that I had done what I could. Thanks to TestPrep for helping me stay on track.

    Cheng Shi

  • UCAT

    I can now decide much faster when to move on from a question. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.

    Marek Norberg

  • IB Diploma

    It was good to see confidence returning over time. We thank the tutor and the TestPrep team.

    Samuele Fiore

  • GRE General

    I finally understood what was going wrong in Section-Adaptive Strategy. I can now decide much faster when to move on from a question. My preparation became much more regular and easier to track.

    Lukas Baumann

  • TOEFL iBT

    Over time, Speaking became one of the most organized parts of my TOEFL iBT preparation. I learned not to lose the rest of a listening task because I missed one word. Knowing what to study reduced a lot of the stress.

    Liam Kirkwood

  • AP Exams

    Anxiety became more visible as the exam got closer. Mistakes became something to work on rather than something to feel bad about. We were pleased with the support we received.

    Isla Teague

  • IMAT

    It was good to see confidence returning over time. Mistakes became something to work on rather than something to feel bad about. We quickly felt that the tutor was a good match.

    Daniela Bustos

  • AP Exams

    Mistakes became something to work on rather than something to feel bad about. We would recommend the program to students and families in a similar situation.
