I thought the instructor (Rowan) was really well put together and helpful. It made learning easier because it didn't feel too harsh or lacks. The homework was a large load but that's the only way I saw my score go up
I thought it was very helpful as increasing my writing score and helping my understanding of different test taking strategies.
I had the pleasure of having Stacy Little, course #566334. This course helped me deepen my understanding of complex math problems and advance my SAT score. Highly reccomend for anyone looking to boost their SAT score.
I had Stacy as my instructor and she was very patient, kind, and especially considerate. She took great care in teaching and always left room for questions. Will definitely recommend. Thank you.
It was a great program and there wasn't too much overwhelming homework or SAT's like other intesive SAT courses. Digital class isn't bad, the notebooks that we are given are pretty informational and are filled with tools for us to helpI just wish there was more review with the other approaches we did in previous classes so i dont forget it. I also wish we went over our SAT's we took.
Assignments helped improve my score 200 points
I really liked the teacher and the pacing of the course was perfect. I always felt that questions were welcome which helped a lot!
This course really solidified my understanding of the SAT topics and material. It's really good too for pacing and they assign homework that makes sure you get consistent practice. I got many helpful tips and tricks as well.
My experience with the website and program was very positive. Some people say that there are technical issues, but the tests and platform always worked well for me even though I don't have that great of a computer or internet connection. For the actual program, understanding how the SAT is structured and learning tricks to save time has been very helpful in getting my score up. I also love that I have access to any kind of practice test and that I can look back at the homework, class recordings, or textbook to review concepts I don't understand. Overall, I enjoyed it more than I would have with studying on my own since it's well-explained and broken down.
Mr. Chris V was one of the best teachers I have had for Princeton review. This was my second run through the course, and I was a lot more engaged this time and willing to participate because his teaching style was enjoyable. Additionally, I did see an improvement of my scores, only would complain that the Princeton Review website is slightly hard to navigate as you progress thorough the modules.
my score went up. good resource and amazing teacher (Christopher Vrana). 10/10. very nice & supportive
Complete waste of money. We bought the online 1400+ SAT summer course, and my daughter did all the classes and tests, five mornings per week, and practiced the methods of working through the test that the class taught her. She regularly ran into tech glitches where it was not possible to move through the practice exams as they were coached to do (the tests wouldn't let her move back and forth in them). She tried meeting with the online teacher about this, and also tried to use all the methods the course advised, but these kind of tech issues nullify the rigid terms of a refund or retake guarantee (you have to finish the practice tests no matter what happens during them). The teacher seemed willing to help but proved ineffective at addressing the systemic technical problems. My daughter felt confident going into the exam, but only scored in the 1200s, grew discouraged, and ultimately decided to throw out her scores and apply to test-optional colleges on the strength of her excellent high school grades and extracurriculars. We should have just done self-study, given the results. Online courses such as this one make promises they can't keep. I'll be paying installments on this failed course for a long time.
Our high school student signed up for the 1400+ SAT course and scored well below that on the test. Not impressed at all by the format or content of this course, or by their care for their students. There was very little personalized attention -- the lengthy Zoom format was tedious for our teen, couldn't wait to get off, so that ruled out the extra office hours unfortunately. In the end it was hours wasted in front of Zoom with content that did not enable our student to come away with clear, generalized test-taking strategies. FYI, they do have a guarantee, but it turns out our student did not follow the homework *schedule* (even though it was all done), so they refused to refund our money. We never received any warning about this while there was still time to fix it.
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 live classes were engaging and interesting, the homework was intense but doable for a high school class, and the video lessons covered every single possible thing on the ACT from a very basic level. The strategies were definitely geared towards lower scores, but I still found them somewhat helpful, I just would have liked more tips geared towards higher scoring students. 4 star review just because it wasn't as helpful for my specific situation as I would have liked, but 5 stars for anyone with sub 28 scores!
For my tutoring, I had Jacob shiff, the program is a whole is not terribly difficult, despite what other reviews may say. I found that their practice test were a bit inconsistent, making it a little tricky to figure out where I was doing score wise, but that’s not that big of a deal. At times, I wished that the lessons went more in depth than others, and sometimes I wished they were a bit shorter, for example, the poetry lesson really dragged on. Even though the money back guarantee is practically impossible to fulfill. I do believe that this improved my score and my chances are getting a good score significantly enough, so to where it wouldn’t be relevant to me.
The classroom is helpful and the teacher is good at helping students.
The in class experience help me work and learn as we were going through the lessons. The ability to ask questions helped me a lot with the occasional tests.
My experience was great and the class material was very good, a lot to practice off of. If you put in the work, you can get a 1400, but only if you put in the work.
They failed my family completely. My daughter started with a 1250 and took their class that guaranteed a 1400. She got a 1260. They didn’t seem to care at all. Will never use them for anything again.
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 desmos on the side bc the desmos built in covered the question. And had times were I would reload the page and gave me a generic error code which im pretty sure means it department cant do lots with. And one time I submitted an assignment and a question didn't register my answer. Mostly minor things.
