  • “I ended up applying to five Ph.D. programs and receiving offers from four out of five! I've accepted an offer to study mass communication at UNC-Chapel Hill, so we will be moving to North Carolina in August. I wanted to thank you again for all the time and effort you put into helping me improve my GRE scores. I truly couldn't have gotten into these programs without you! ”

  • - Sarah, Nov. 2012
  • "I consistently walked away from the classes feeling upbeat, prepared and actually excited about taking the exam. It's so thoroughly refreshing and powerful to learn tricks you know will have you laughing out loud on exam day. I have no doubt I'll get into my first pick school now.
  •  
  • "Making the exam material not only accessible but comfortably aceable is a really important part of any prep class that I think many instructors miss on. Lifelines delivered over & over upbeat, rockable methods that I wish I'd known in high school. They would've made everything from Geometry to Calculus and even Comp 304 (including word problems) so easy and even fun -- never thought I'd say that, ever."
  •  
  • - Peter, Nov. 2012
  • "At the beginning I was debating to attend the class. I thought with enough studying I could prepare myself for the exam, but now I'm really happy I'm here. Solving the problems with these shortcuts are much easier, save a lot of time, and instead of a nightmare, math became a fun puzzle to solve. I'm excited to sit down and use these formulas now. I wish teachers taught these in school."

Letters

  • I came to National Test Prep in June 2010 with a hope to refresh my GMAT skills and now I am happy that I did. Ron was a great teacher who could point out my areas of weaknesses and show me a trend of mistakes that I regularly made. It helped me prepare for GMAT well.
  •  
  • But another reason for my happiness is that even when I came to Ron one year later in May 2011 with a request to help me with interviews, he readily did so without hesitation. Ron gave me interview tips that no one else had given me, and his inputs actually made the difference in my performance during the interview.
  •  
  • I now got into the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, which is the #1 business school in Asia. Ron, thank you so very much for all your help. I wish you keep making a difference in more people's lives.

  • I contacted National Test Prep after I took the GMAT for the first time. My score was in the 60% percentile and I knew I had to do much better. I was applying to Thunderbird’s global MBA program and I was hoping to qualify for a scholarship to help me pay for tuition. I knew I needed help and I found it with National Test Prep tutoring program.
  • The lessons were targeted to my abilities and Ron (the instructor) was able to fully understand my needs and taught me what I believe to be the best methodology to taking the GMAT. In addition Ron provided plenty of opportunities to interact with other students and share my concerns and goals in a very relaxed and judgment-free environment.
  • After about a month and a half I took the GMAT again and this time I scored 100 points more than my first time (88% percentile). The best news of all is that I was awarded a scholarship for more than $39,000 towards my tuition at Thunderbird, which is an amazing return on my investment with National Test Prep. THANK YOU NATIONAL TEST PREP FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

  • I can't believe it!! I'd like to totally say thanks to Ron and National Test Prep for everything... Ron's focus on me, my study style helped me concentrate on my weakest points, as well as the things I didn't need much work on, and I was able to increase my score by 160 points!! I had taken a [company name withheld] class prior to Ron's class, however it did not help as much, and they weren't very focused or friendly about helping out me out after the class sessions.
  • Ron-- I'd like to thank you for all your help and dedication in this process. I know that I'll still have to argue my way through into the MBA program of my dreams/ choice (who doesn't?!) and now, you have massively given me a reason to... and a reason to look up with my head held high because if I can increase my score by that much and receive perfect 6's on my essays, then I know that it's a stepping stone to achieving everything else :)

  • A year ago my GRE preparation began. I took the [company name withheld] course and my score did come up some but I still was not performing at a competitive level for graduate school admission. I decided to sit out the application process for the next year in order to continue practicing for my GRE. I used an independent tutor for a while and continued searching for others to shore up my studying.
  • National Test Prep was an advertisement that I found on craigslist. Initially, I was struck by the very reasonable expense of the course but, after my first class, was highly impressed with the structure of the lesson plan and its cogent, practical arrangement. Ron was highly thoughtful of my learning style and work schedule. His instruction was effective and helpful. Each time we had class, I became more skilled in my facility of GRE knowledge. Specifically, my comprehension of basic math fundamentals has been greatly strengthened. I have become comfortable in applying these principles when I see them on a test.
  • National Test Prep has also provided me with invaluable resources to continue my preparation on my own time and outside of our weekly meetings. Ron has even let me sit in on other classes in order to continue sharpening my skills. I plan to take the test in the upcoming months for application submission and, because of my experience with National Test Prep, have full confidence that I will achieve the score I want.

  • Ron was a helpful and professional tutor. His clear explanations and in-depth examples enabled me to prepare for the GMAT with confidence and direction. He enthusiastically and sufficiently answered every one of my questions and addressed all of my concerns in regards to the test. He was honest but encouraging in assessing my abilities. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their GMAT score.
