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

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.

Love Ms. Malika - the website can be a little frustrating though but the deadlines helped me to continuously work at SAT prep throughout the months

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!

My teacher TyShaun W was great and very helpful during every lesson, however some extra math would be beneficial to add to the curriculum. We did go over every type of math on the SAT, but some of the more complex areas of the math were not covered in the curriculum.

Fast pased, but gives you plenty resources to succeed. Tyshaun Wynter is a great instructor.
