Whether you’re studying in San Francisco or Singapore, Dallas or Delhi, you’re probably feeling anxious, confused, or even a little overwhelmed about preparing for college or graduate admissions exams. It doesn’t have to be that way.
My test prep books cover all of the question types you can expect to see on the actual SAT, ACT, GRE, or GMAT. They walk you through dozens of examples, helping you master the vocabulary, grammar rules, and reading concepts necessary to earn a top score. They also include lists of questions from the relevant official guides so that you can see exactly how the material you’re studying applies to the real exam.
After years of working as a tutor, I know how to present challenging material clearly and simply. I also know how to focus on what’s relevant so that you don’t waste your time studying things that aren’t tested. When you sit down to take the test, I want you to feel like you’re in control.
In preparation for retaking the ACT this September 2016 I wanted to center my focus on English. English was my worst subject on my first attempt. The only preparation I did for my retake was reading your prep book. I read the guide cover to cover, highlighting important parts, and taking notes. As a result, I improved my score from a 24 to a 36! I am extremely satisfied with the results of your book. I hope that the success I experienced can be used to motivate future students to study your books.
