Maria H.
MCAT
Everything about The Princeton Review - content, instructors, customer service - is zero stress. The content is accessible, not unnecessarily in-depth, but thorough (with loads of practice on every specific topic).
Joseph L.
MCAT
Essentially, I had no idea how to study for this test before taking the prep course. I was intimidated and didn't know where to start. Definitely, I knew exactly how to study for the test after completion of the Princeton Review course.
Matthew B.
MCAT
The Princeton Review gave a comprehensive overview of the test subjects and consistently helped me refine my skills. My practice test scores were 501, 505, 512, and 518 showing how my goal was achieved gradually over the course.
