" Hi mam! This is Avinash of batch GRE 156. I had taken my GRE on the 15th of March this year. I am pleased to inform you that I have performed very well with an aggregate score of 1530 with a 4.5 in analytical writing, 800 in quantitative analysis and 730 in verbal ability. I am incredibly grateful to you, TPR and Rohit for providing me with the techniques and strategies which proved to be invaluable during the course of my preparation, The Word a Day subscriptions and the online etymology dictionary were especially helpful. I would like to thank you and Rohit personally sometime, it would be very helpful if you can let me know when that would be convenient for the both of you. "

" When I first joined the institute I hardly had any idea about GRE and its scoring pattern. Princeton review helped me understand the pattern of the exam thoroughly. This made me more confident about attending GRE. Majority of the techniques taught at PR, made me save much time during the exam and thus I could understand and solve the questions effectively. Eventually I got a good score."

" As I sit down to write this testimonial for Princeton Review, words come easily.. partly due to the rigorous vocabulary sessions.. and partly due to the excellent job done by them. Be it the course structure, the practice done, or the faculty's personal advice, everything had a role to play in ensuring my success. I am a student of GRE-08 batch, and my faculties were Ram Kumar sir for maths and Usha Subramaniam ma'am for verbal. Beginning with a score of 1100 in my first diagnostic test, I finally achieved a score of 1440 in the actual GRE."

"My experience at the Princeton Review has been enriching to say the least. I came here as a student looking for an institute that could help me achieve my goal and it only seems fair to give credit to TPR for my success. The Princeton Review delivers what it promises. The educators at The Princeton Review possess great knowledge in their subject matter of study and go about their teaching in the most professional manner. I was personally benefited from the resources and expertise available here. My approach towards the exam was greatly refined under the able guidance of Ms. Mukhvinder Kohli, Mr. Robin and Ms. Richa whose sincere efforts and guidance helped me achieve a good score. The two months of study here were invaluable to my preparation as I was able to grasp the fundamentals of the exam pattern and methodology required to attempt it. The teachers helped me devise a strategy to counter the most difficult questions in each section and at the same time taught me to be on look out for tricky questions. Overall, it has a perfect blend of expertise and resources which coupled with the level of exposure available make it an ideal place for students to prepare for exams. The entire team helped me at every step on the way."

" I heard about Princeton Review from one of my friends. I went to begumpet branch and I enquired about the coaching and the timings. From the first day itself the teaching faculties were really encouraging and gave many tips how to solve the questions that will come in the exam. The coaching is for 45 days and went like quick journey. The faculty helped me to solve the questions myself where I am weak and where I need to concentrate. Because of their help only I got a good score of 323 in GRE and I got admission in good universities. Thanks to Princeton and Manya group and the faculties for helping me a lot in achieving this progress and getting good score."

" I am Ajay Kumar, a final year student of CSE from SRM University. As I wanted to do my graduation in the USA and I had joined the Princeton Review, Adyar to prepare for my GRE. From the first class I attended, which was a Quant class taken by Mr. Uma Shankar Pandian, I knew that I was actually going to learn something useful, which is not always the case with me in such classes. And I was right. The Quant classes were both interesting and helpful. It was not all about learning formulas and applying them directly, or any of the other boring aspects of Maths, it was mostly about how to use some simple arithmetic, and a lot of logic and common sense to solve what appear to be quite difficult problems, and Mr. Uma Shankar Pandian (or USP, as he told us to call him) made sure the classes were always interactive and never dull."

"The Princeton Review has been immensely helpful in guiding me through the GRE and TOEFL exams . The classes neatly outlined the exam pattern , the format of the test and the types of questions I shall be facing . The practice tests helped me pin-point my mistakes and focus on the sections in which I was not scoring high . The teachers were very friendly and more than willing to personally help me out in any problems I faced , be it about the question patterns or about the nature of the test itself . All I can say is that I was brimming with confidence when I gave the GRE and the TOEFL , a confidence I solely owe to the Princeton Review ."

" It gives me great pleasure to be able to write a testimonial for the Princeton Review GRE and TOEFL courses. The courses were streamlined and suited to my needs. The online course materials and exercises were exhaustive and well designed to improve my accuracy and time management. The faculty was well equipped and gave us proper guidance regarding how to take the tests and to avoid the pitfalls. The management was also very helpful and accommodating. I must say that I owe much of my 314 in GRE and 118 in TOEFL to the Princeton Review courses. Score: 314/340 Verbal: 162/170 Quant: 152/170"

"As we get set to take on the GRE test, everyone feels it is easy to score high - after all it is all about simple high school Maths and English. But this is far from the reality - it requires a very focused and rigorous preparation. The course at Princeton helped me prepare in a very systematic manner two months in advance. We were taught different techniques to tackle different types of questions in both quant and verbal. We were taught about the most common mistakes that people make and how to avoid them. Avoiding mistakes is one crucial success factor in a GRE test. The continuous testing and evaluation by my teachers - Nanda Kishore for quant and Jijil for verbal, helped me in fine tuning my answers and eliminating mistakes. The homework given each week ensured that I was constantly getting preparing for the test. I have no doubt in my mind that the training I received at princeton contributed significantly to my high score in GRE. Thank you Princeton and thank you, Nanda Kishore & Jijil sirs!"

" I will be failing in my duty if I do not mention the enormous role that the classes provided by The Princeton Review played in my preparation for the General GRE examination . The training sessions for both the Quantitative and the Verbal (and Analytical Writing) were regularly held and thus provided continuous stimulation to the students to think in the 'GRE way'. The techniques taught were extemely helpful in developing the confidence to face all kinds of challenges that the ETS sets on the examination, and trained us to think clearly and confidently during the tense situation of the examination. I specifically thank Jayashree Gautham Ma'am and Ajeeth Peo Sir for their kind help during and also after classes - without which I could not have scored like I did."

"I have taken my GRE Test on February 26, 2011, and TOEFL Test on February 14, 2011. In GRE I have scored 1270 =790 in Quant + 480 in Verbal. In TOEFL I have scored 107 out of 120. I have studied in Manya, for over 2 months, August and September, 2010, including GRE and TOEFL Courses. Here are a few things I would like to bring to your notice: Abin Sir has always been helpful, and always ready to traverse that extra mile, only to put us in a better position. Although my scores in GRE Verbal, are low, but I can say, that it was a mishap. Abin Sir had left no stone unturned to help us out: We questioned freely, and questioning was always followed by interesting discussions, guided by Sir, himself-- let's just say, that work seemed more like play, both in GRE Verbal and TOEFL, in Abin Sir's class!

" My name is Varun Raman and I’ve just completed my under graduation in the field of Aeronautical Engineering from Hindustan College of Engineering Chennai. My desire to study abroad in a reputed institution is what made me enroll with The Princeton Review. I came to know about TPR through some relatives and friends. Initially I was skeptical of the idea of joining because I was confident of my mathematical and language skills and I thought that cracking the GRE and TOEFL was a piece of cake. At the behest of my parents I enrolled for classes with TPR for GRE and TOEFL. My perspective about going to coaching classes changed dramatically after I started attending classes at the Princeton review. This shift in my outlook was due to two main reasons. Firstly the course material given by TPR is tailor made for students aspiring to study abroad and secondly and most importantly the involvement and commitment of the teaching faculty. My GRE tutors, Mrs Sunithi (Verbal) and Mrs Jayashree (Math) did an excellent job teaching me. They taught me invaluable shortcuts and methods to tackle the questions being asked in the exams. "
