I signed up for the Ultimate SAT Prep course. I was able to see my scores significantly improve while I was taking the course. Princeton Review has an AMAZING online student portal where the student can enter in their homework, look at score reports, and access extra practice problems. The classrooms are nice and clean and the instructor I had, Mr. B, was so helpful. I would easily recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their scores.

I really liked this course. It’s rigorous but manageable. The homework was a lot to the point where it was impossible to complete. The professor, Mr. Weffer, was really helpful and open. I liked his teaching style, he gave good explanations for the problems we got wrong. The small class sizes allow for more specialized learning for each individual.

Before attending Princeton Review’s SAT prep course, I was extremely overwhelmed by the idea of having to take a test that seemed to determine so much of my future. Taking this class with Mr. B has made me feel more prepared than I thought was possible, and I’ve already seen significant improvements in my practice test scores. I highly recommend this prep course not only because of its success in improving my SAT scores, but also because of the welcoming environment and kind teachers.

The Princeton Review is a great way to prepare for the SAT. The quality of teachers is fantastic and Farhana and Jake were knowledgeable instructors. The strategies were super informational and the company has developed all these ways to “beat the test” that are really interesting. Only thing that was a small downside was math. If the math section is a struggle for you, not much individualized attention is given in terms of learning how to improve on math. They taught strategies for how to take the math section of the test, but less of actually learning more math.

I really enjoy this class. I like Mr.Weffer’s teaching style and approach to SAT, overall a great teacher. Other than the unreasonable amount of homework, this class has been improving my results on the SAT by a considerable amount. I like like I’m improving each day.

Setting is very comfortable and the teacher is understanding and takes their time to make sure their students understand the content. Along with this, it’s not a strict environment where you must sit down and learn, there’s flexibility to express your thoughts and ideas.

Took a free online practice test for the SAT. The goal setting and informational videos about the exam were great. Having the option to do the test timed or untimed created less stress. The way the questions were layed out was great.

It has been an amazing experience partnering with TPR. Irem really truly cares about our club and wants to help us succeed! She has also gone above and beyond to help us plan and coordinate events to cater to the pre-health needs of our community. The entire staff is very clean, organized, and efficient. In less than a year, this has been a HUGE boost for us and we are extremely happy with our experience.

The Princeton Review has served as a wonderful support for MCAT prep for pre-medical students on our college campus! They make it very easy to partner with them as a student organization, too, and through the partnership, they allow discounts to their prep courses, tons of free resources, and offer free practice exams! I also love that they are available to help support students with such a wide variety of tests, not just the MCAT!

One of my university organizations recently partnered with TPR and I can honestly say that in less than a year it has been a tremendous boost for us! I’m personally using one of their courses to prepare for the MCAT. The staff is very organized, efficient, and accommodating for us!

The Princeton Review is a great resource for prep classes. I took the the MCAT 510+ and have been satisfied with my experience so far. It teaches majority of the information you will need to know for the MCAT. Dr. Umayer is a great professor who always keeps you engaged and interested in the material, which makes many concepts much easier to understand.

At first, I was skeptical about the utility of the 123 hour MCAT class, but I am extremely glad I took the leap as this class is one of the most useful resources I have encountered. Dr. Umayer Ali is the best tutor I can imagine - seriously, I learned entire semesters worth of content in a few hours; he is able to explain the content and logic much better than any of my professors have been able to. Truly, with Umayer as a tutor, the only limiting factor to getting a 528 MCAT score is my own dedication.

Review №26

Professors were kind and willing to help. More than enough material for all the content. However, it felt like i was just taking all my pre med undergrad classes all over again. We only went through like a passage or two per class. l felt underprepared to take the MCAT after about 8 months of part-time studying using this material, including the in-person class. I didnt get much knowledge on how to study for the MCAT. The strategies like process of elimination and questions types didnt really help. I went through almost every passage TPR had, and taking the MCAT was still full of many surprises. But maybe its all due to me not being that good at reading comprehension.TLDRThe books and materials are A+, but it felt like i was just sitting through my undergrad classes. Would have liked more help on how to study for the actual MCAT, that doesnt include learning about question types and whatnot. I would have liked to have professors walk through what goes on in their head when they work a passage theyve never seen before.

I just want to start this review by saying that I felt really stressed out and overwhelmed with the vast amount of content review I had to do for the MCAT (on top of test strategy) before enrolling in the 510+ course. As the course progresses, the MCAT is gradually feeling more manageable. The lectures do a good job of telling you what you need to know for the MCAT... and what you dont. Dr. Umayer Ali gives excellent lessons. He is animated, has a sense of humor, and manages to keep students engaged despite the fact that most of us are coming from a full day of work or school and the class goes from 7-10pm at night. I also find that the online courses for the orgo section are easy to understand and well-taught. Overall, I would recommend the 510+ course. I thought studying for the MCAT would be miserable and dry, but Ive actually been enjoying attending the classes so far.
