The Princeton Review

The teacher was not bad :)

Money back guarantee scam

I signed my son up for the Princeton Review SAT course. After a 12 week course my son scored 40 points lower. I was denied my money back even though they have a money back guarantee if your child doesn’t improve by at least 200 points. They cited one missed homework assignment but said he’s eligible to repeat the course. Proof that they are a scam. How can they afford to allow him to repeat the course but not refund me? It’s all a scam. Do not sign your child up for this waste of time money grab. Especially disappointing are Alexander McConnell and Zack Dondey who are partners in crime in this scam. Alex reels you in for $2000 with all sorts of guarantees then passes you off to Zack who denies the refund. Alex claims he suddenly can’t help you any longer. He apparently can only help take your money. Big scam. Avoid.

HORRIBLE FOR MCAT PREP!!

HORRIBLE FOR MCAT PREP!!! Their 515+ course is a scam, the amount of assigned work to get the guarantee is unattainable even for the hardest working students (I have dedicated 600+ hours to studying for the MCAT). Their prep is on another level of difficulty compared to the MCAT, so hard that it prevents learning. Being in a class also wastes a ton of time when questions and topics are discussed that you do not need help with. GO WITH UWORLD, AND/OR A HIGH QUALITY TUTOR, PERSONALIZE YOUR PREP, DO NOT GET A GENERIC MCAT CLASS

I enjoyed this class

Did not meet our expectations

My son had 1210 ( first attempt at SAT in December of junior year). His goal was 1400. We enrolled him in the 1400 plus course with a money back guarantee ($2000) with high hopes of him reaching his goal. The course was good overall with plenty of materials and classes. He did all the required classes and homework, but his SAT score two months later was 1270. Maybe they can make the content harder as my son felt that Princeton questions were somewhat easier than real SAT questions. We are happy with their service though . The money back guarantee was fulfilled. Thanks Princeton !

We did the 1400+ class in person in…

We did the 1400+ class in person in Berkeley. Our daughter knew that an online class wasn't going to work for her. She started out with an 1170 and got a 1300 on her SAT (130 points above her baseline). They guarantee 150 points above her baseline with this course, so we wound up getting a refund! We are actually pretty happy with the 1300 as that is a cutoff for a lot of scholarships and schools, so we consider this a success. We are planning on retaking the exam in May, as students typically get 50-150 points more on the second exam. The class was right near the heart of student life as far as shopping and cafes, and after class, our daughter loved hanging out with the vibe of the UCB students and studying at the cafes. Even though the class was a commitment, she was way more productive than she would have been hanging out at home.

Professional Guidance

I’ve found The Princeton Review undeniably helpful while studying for the SAT. I took the Targeted SAT Private Tutoring course with Mr. Vakulchik and received seriously professional guidance. He zeroed in on my areas of improvement based on my performance on practice tests then walked me through various modules, each focusing on one type of question. This methodical and insightful approach taught me how to identify each question type, approach the question, and determine the correct answer with the least possible time, effort, and panic. I left the class with newfound confidence to just take the darn test—I’d been training for it. I gained extra points because it’s not about how well you know math and English, it’s about how well you know the SAT. Thank you Mr. Vakulchik and The Princeton Review; I highly recommend!

Review

It helped me with a lot of different testing strategies, ranging from timing to reading the questions properly.

I had David Jorgensen as my teacher and he was great! He reached out to me personally to encourage me to keep working hard for my SAT’s after he saw that my scores on my practice SAT’s were increasing, and he kept the class engaged during lessons. He also got on the meeting before class started, and after class ended Incase we had any additional questions on our homework or on the material that we covered. My SAT score after taking the psat increased by 260 points, and I had a great experience.

EDIT: 😂😂😂the comment is hilarious. What do you have to say about defrauding Title I schools in nyc? (google whistle blower legal princeton review fraud charges) 0 stars. During my time with The Princeton Review, I observed firsthand how corporate-driven education models prioritize rigid compliance over substantive instruction. This experience further refined my ability to critically assess institutional practices and reaffirmed my commitment to working in environments where integrity and development are core values. There is no way this company is providing equitable, inclusive, and pedagogically sound instruction. They should be sued and gutted.

I Loved My Teacher Stacey J

This class is tiring and the homework is ALOT. The money-back-guarantee requirements are almost impossible to fulfill as you must complete every homework assignment. However, I do feel like it helped me with my ability to take the SAT and I LOVED my teacher: Stacey J.

Great course, great teachers, would recommend

Our teacher was Christina M, and she was truly wonderful. She was very well versed in the course and her explanations were easy to follow. Additionally, she took the time to go over necessary questions and gave every student the proper attention when we were struggling. All in all, I would recommend this course to those really looking to better their understanding of the SAT and improve their score.

Really good course!

I learned a lot from this course and I feel like my teacher, Ms. Lili, did a really good job at explaining things to me when I was confused. I love the organization of the course and it is really easy to navigate. Really recommend :)
