My turn around thanks to Sean:

The start = I took Princeton Review Classroom course with practice test range = 580 - 650. But when I took the real test upon completion, I *flipped out* in the room, scoring a record low (lower than my first baseline exam) at 510.

After crying, I called Princeton Review back and explained my situation. In lieu of the money back guarantee, we worked out a deal for three 30 min sessions with Sean.

That's where the magic happened... Within the first 30 minutes, he identified my issue. During the days after, I simply focused on the identified issue. By the next test, I was up to 690. Then I met with him again, we further refined my technique. Next practice test = highest ever at 710. For the third 30 minutes, we really only talked about how I will attack the test. Not even doing problems, just theorizing and getting mentally ready. The last practice test I took was 730.

On the day of the test, I was a different breed of test taker - calm, collected, and confident. With my score of 700, I got interviews at all of the schools where I applied.

I 100% recommend Sean even just for a single 30 minute session. Group sessions are great to learn the material, but if you already know your stuff but really want to improve your score - turn to Sean! I will be worth every penny.
