I had the instructor Janan Niroomand. She was great only reason why I dont put 5 stars is bc the tech tended to be unreliable even with a good computer. When taking a test you would have to open desmo... See more

This course was helpful but not game changing for someone starting with a larger score. I scored mid 30's my first test and figured I had nothing to lose with the 1 point improvement guarantee. The li... See more

For my class, I had Stacy Little, PSO 552043. She was great. She did an amazing job at explaining the material and at any point I was confused she went step by step. She would even stay after class ju... See more

Worth the Money

My teacher, Suzanne Wint was extremely helpful and patient throughout the whole process despite it being like a high school Zoom class. I had to miss most of the classes live due to clubs and bus schedules but could still access everything, which was extremely fortunate for my situation. Thought it was gonna be a waste and looked overwhelming especially, with this BIG book but it made everything digestible and reasonable, I 100% recommend it as on the practice tests I saw an increase of 200 points.

Good and Enjoyable Experience with my SAT Prep Teacher

My teacher, Mr.Shanrick, was very good at giving good examples if any student didn't understand something. Along with this he was a fun teacher to learn with and guided all of us into being able to understand the more difficult topics of the SAT.

Great!

The structure of the course was very well, teachers were readily available and gave great explanations I struggled with chemistry and my teacher Tracy Tourville (PSO 525015) made it very digestible and was very engaging. I haven't studied this content in a while so having this course help me get back into it all!

Princeton Review is trustworthy.

My son completed the ACT Prep Course needed for qualification into a dual enrollment program with a Florida University. Unfortunately he did not get the score he was aiming for this time around for but he will attempt to retake the ACT again. Princeton Review was good on their money back guarantee promise and gave me the refund. I will try their tutoring services again in the near future when my son decides to retake his test. Thank you Princeton Review for standing by your money back guarantee clause.

Princeton Review

i think Princeton Review is good but there are a couple things needing improvement: more practice questions and possibly tests. It is expensive as well so if you are ready to spend the money it is great.

Pick any other test prep company than this one.

This is such an exploitative company. They give you a false score guarantee and then make you jump through 1000000 hoops just to get the refund. No one gets a refund because you probably violated one hoop without even knowing it. Being late on one homework that I've already done is a ridiculous reason to be out $2000. I am prepared to fight tooth and nail to get this refund back.

My experience went well.

My experience went well, because of the amount of instruction I got. I learned lots of little tips, and I got to use these tips on homework assigned. I also got to take multiple practice tests, helping me get familiar with the types of questions on the test.

Very helpful

Very helpful. Malika S. was an extremely helpful proctor and explained things to great detail. Only problems I had were with the website as it crashed while I was taking a practice test.

Amazing Prep!

Veronia was a great tutor who explained all of the concepts in much detail. She kept the classes interactive and they were very curated towards my weaknesses. I highly recommend this course!
