" I am very thankful for the superb guidance given to me by the faculty at The Princeton Review. Right from day one, we were taught the unique method of how to arrive at the correct answer - not by going after it but by eliminating the wrong ones. This method proved especially more helpful in the verbal section. I would also like to point our the extremely student friendly environment at the education center. The teachers were available for help round the clock. For working professionals like me, we had the opportunity to clear our doubts through many mediums - telephone, skype and e-mail. I would like to make a special mention of Mr. R. Bhaskar, my verbal teacher, who was instrumental in continuously motivating and inspiring the entire batch throughout the length of the program. The Princeton Review follows a very logical and sound process which clearly gives you an advantage to outperform others in these highly competitive tests. The specially designed tests and practice exercises in the Online Student Center (OSC) are tailor made to suit the interests of every student and by carefully following the process one can easily witness his/her scores following an upward trajectory. The detailed analysis of your test results allows you to identify your weak areas and work on them carefully. The expert guidance of the teachers at the institute also helped to achieve a respectable score in the AWA section. Finally, the icing on the cake was the Booster sessions following which you can see a marked improvement in your score. I would like to recommend The Princeton Review to future GMAT aspirants because the course material and the faculty enables you with the confidence and the ability to take the GMAT head-on."

"The Princeton Review is a best way there is to get a GMAT score; I say this because of my personal experience with Princeton Review, Tambaram. One can very well go through the normal process of self preparation; however as working profeffionals we are in lack of one important thing, time. So to effectively utilize time we should look for good content structured in a better way and most importantly, taught by the best tutors. This will help us in compensating for the less time we invest in GMAT preparation by making our learning curve rise steeply. I thank both my faculties, Mr. Bhaskar and Dr. Prabhu. I would definitely credit my tutor Mr. Bhaskar and Dr. Prabhu. I would definitely credit my tutor Mr. Bhaskar & Mrs. Sunitha, as they not only taught me all what is to be known to get good score in GMAT but also extended themselves to keep a constant track of my learning progress as if it is their duty to do so. If not for their tracking (right word would be pestering) I wouldn't have followed through the out-of-class activities like assignments, CATs and boosters which has landed me where I am now. "

"I joined GMAT Batch B-56 at Princeton Review Kolkata in February this year. Like many others I had a dream- a dream to enter one of the top B-Schools in the world and become a global citizen. However I had little clue of how to reach there. Then came the faculty of Princeton Review. With their effort they helped me secure a 700/800 [90 percentile]. I must say that I am thoroughly pleased with the efforts put in by the faculty especially Saurab sir. He went through the course material in a very systematic and methodical way. He first dealt with the basics, helping us form a strong base and then through his skill helped us build on the foundation. I still remember the way he explained the concept of participles I will never forget it. Another thing I was very happy about was the fact that he was there in non class hours just to help the students. I have called him thousands of times, bothering him with unnecessary questions. At all points, he made sure he cleared my queries even if that meant repeating the same point twice. I really appreciate the help of Saurab sir and TPR. I wish them all the best and hope they keep on guiding students so that the students can follow their dreams. "

" I’m currently pursuing my final year Mechanical Engineering at Easwari Engineering College, Chennai. I’m planning to do my masters in the US. For this purpose, I took up GRE and TOEFL coaching with The Princeton Review (T.Nagar), Chennai. I took my GRE on January 17, 2011 (got a score of 1320) and TOEFL on July 9, 2011 My trainer for the TOEFL course was Mr.Saikiran Dudyala. With his interactive sessions, he made the students believe that TOEFL is an easy nut to crack. He brought the subject matter down to the level of understanding of the students. For instance, I was a little nervous about the speaking section, but his innovative practice sessions instilled a lot of confidence in me and I ended up scoring 29 for the section! Even after the course ended, I was in touch with him over the phone and e-mail. He never hesitated in clearing any doubt at any time. The administrative staff at TPR were very helpful. They answered all my queries clearly and in detail. There was no hesitation on their part whatsoever. Finally, I owe my success to TPR. I joined TPR on my friend’s advice and found them to be the best when it comes to TOEFL training. Their method of training is well structured and their course material gives a clear idea about the test. Their continuous assessment of the students points out our strengths and weaknesses, allowing us to work more on the latter. For those who are serious about their TOEFL preparation, I would recommend TPR hands down any day. "

"Hello! My name is Nivedita shrinagesh. I am doing Electronic media (5yr) integrated course at Anna university. My trainer was Saikiran, and was very helpful and approachable. He made the class lively and fun. The way he teaches each and every component in IELTS is systematic which makes it easier to understand. The administrative staff Vijaylakshmi mam was very friendly; she treated us well and helped us with all our doubts regarding our course timings etc. The standard of IELTS isn’t very easy and simple. Students need to regularly practice specially on Reading and Writing departments. Reading exercises should be mandatory done with timer (20 mins for each passage) otherwise it would be difficult during the exam. With regular practice, students will easily get good scores. IELTS overall score – 7/9 Reading – 7/9 Listening – 7.5/9 Speaking – 7/9 Writing - 6.5/9"

" Hi I am Shanthosh Sivagnanam and I have completed my B.E Computer Science and Engineering (2006-2010) in Sri Venkateswara College Of Engineering, Sriperumbudur. My trainer was Mr.Saikiran Dudyala. He took the classes very well and taught me the methodologies as to how to approach the IELTS exam. He trained me in all sections equally and made me overcome my difficulties in the various sections by giving me a lot of practice materials and verifying my answers periodically. The administrative staff also helped me in taking the exams as per the schedule and made sure I got the corrected scripts in time. I would like to tell the people who are taking up the IELTS exam to follow the points given to you in the class and apply it in the exam and also take up the tests regularly so that you can identify the weak areas so that you can improve in those respective areas. IELTS- SCORE = 8.0 Listening = 8.5 Reading = 7.5 Writing = 7.0 Speaking = 8.0"

" When you start out on a journey, you reach your destination only if you take the right decisions. My journey started when I decided to apply to universities abroad, and at the time, I had no clue how the application process worked. There were so many things to do, and very little time. SAT was one very important milestone that I had to achieve, and I had one month to achieve it. Taking SAT classes at the Princeton Review was one of my well made decisions. I started classes in mid-August, in order to prepare for the October SAT. I myself did not expect a high score. But with the help of Princeton Review’s expertise, I managed to score a 2330. My teachers were very helpful and supportive throughout. My verbal classes were taken by Juhi ma’am and my maths classes by Rinku ma’am. They were always there when I needed their help. They taught me several techniques by which I could ascertain the right answer and complete the test within the given time limit. They encouraged me and made me aware of my abilities. By the end of it, they were more like friends than teachers to me. The others at Princeton Review were also very helpful! They would give me diagnostic tests as per my convenience, helped me track my progress, and would readily answer by incessant questions about the application process. Although it is said that the SAT scores are only one of the factors taken into consideration during the admission process, a good SAT score can significantly enhance your chances of getting admission in a good US university. Princeton review helped me achieve this important milestone."

" I am very pleased with what Princeton Review achieved with my daughter Priyanka. At the outset before Priyanka was introduced to your program she was a little apprehensive about her approach to the SAT exam. Mr. Bandy did a tremendous job on clearing her concepts in Maths and the way he brought her up to speed in her approach she enjoyed the subject thoroughly. During her sessions with Ms Dolly Sharma she realized that just being good in English, which Priyanka has been since she was a child, was not good enough to score well at the SAT. Ms Dolly took Priyanka through many very thorough sessions in English which brought about a fantastic change in her approach and consequently boosted her confidence. I must thank Princeton Review and it's entire team for the tremendous support and the fantastic job they did in helping Priyanka get the highest scores (2390- 99 percentile) she could have ever hoped for in her SAT. Thank You. Rajiv Sethy"

" I am a student of 12th class who had enrolled for Princeton's SAT 1 on 1 coaching programme at Tarnaka, Hyderabad. The 3 months that I spent at Princeton to prepare for my SAT turned out to be very useful. I'm very much satisfied with the score of 2120 that I have received. When I first joined this institute, I got a mere 1600 in my diagnostic test, but in these 3 months, Princeton has transformed me into a 2100 scorer. To all those who are interested in scoring well in this test, I would suggest that Princeton is indeed the place you should go. Their material and their unique method of teaching is apt for any student who is planning on taking the SAT. the increment of my scores in the diagnostic tests during the course of these 3 months are a clear indication of the fact that Princeton is responsible for this. Lastly I would like to thank the Princeton faculty who always had faith in me and it is their support which has helped me reach this platform. "

" I can honestly say that the Manya Group's SAT preparation really helped me get the score that I did. My instructors, Tanmoy and Kritiga, were nothing but helpful and supportive, and without them, I don't think I would have done so well. I would like to personally thank them for all their efforts. I feel that the course was very well designed, allowing me to absorb all the techniques they provided me with, and implement them efficiently. The faculty really personalized the course to my needs, allowing me to do the best I could when it came down to the test day. I highly suggest Manya's SAT course for anyone who is serious about boosting their score. "

" Princeton Review was very helpful in my preparation for the SAT, in which I scored 2350. My essays prior to these classes were mediocre, but the feedback I got during the mock tests allowed me to lift my essay score to a respectable 10. The teachers were helpful, and the tips given during the course allowed me to perfect my technique for taking the SAT. The quick vocabulary study we did in class also played a role in my success. I have already recommended Princeton Review to my friends."
