If you follow the BarWinners approach and put in the work, I truly believe you can pass this exam.

I tutored with Vik when I was in crunch time for the LSAT. I contacted him three weeks before test…read moretime because I had plateaued studying on my own. He got back to me quickly and was extremely accommodating. Plus, his rate is phenomenal. (Psst: it's a steal for a tutor of Vik's quality) He scheduled multiple appointments with me, and was even able to change a few to in-person when I requested that. I recommend having at least your first couple sessions in person so that he can see how you approach problems and better diagnose where you're going wrong. My biggest regret is not working with him sooner. He has a straightforward, easy approach. Regardless, he quickly saw areas I could improve, and helped me see a 10 point boost in my practice tests with only about 5 sessions. Of course, I did implement his recommendation of daily study time. Thanks Vik - can't wait to report back my November score!

Wow is all i can say! Hovik (the main instructor) helped me so much!…read more I reached out to Breakthrough lsat prep a few months ago and signed up for 1 training session. My practice score at the time was 156 and I know that's good but not good enough for UCLA and USC. After my one session I immediately signed up for 3 a week which has been perfect for me. Since then my practice scores have gone up into the 165s. Hovik is super helpful and a really clear communicator. After getting to know him I found out that he has taught in college as well.. I really recommend him to anyone that has bad scores or even good scores trying to take their score up a notch. (He took the LSAT once and got a 179!!) trust me you will be in good hands haha

John Holtz is well known and respected in the bar prep industry for his excellent seminars on the Performance Test section of the CA bar exam. I took the CA bar exam and passed on my third attempt, much like many well-respected attorneys and politicians in California. Had it not been for John's seminar on PT's, I don't know that I could have ever passed the bar exam. I also took the Fleming's course taught by Sue Sneidmiller, wife of Jeff Flemings, for my first bar attempt. I do NOT recommend taking their course as it taught me less about how to outline and organize my answer, made less sense to me, cost me more, and I walked away with less study material than John's Advanced Performance Seminars. Mr. Holtz offers a far better value for the money. John also offers a special no-pass, no-pay type system, but I was not eligible since I took John's three day course for the first time as a repeater. Even still, the course fee was less than Flemings, offered more substance, and gave me what I needed to eventually pass the CA bar exam. I appreciated the fact that John discounted his fee by $25 if you brought a fellow student with you to class, which saved us money and shared the wealth of knowledge amongst my peers. I learned of John's seminars only days before my first bar attempt, so I was able to attend only John's one day seminar, which was tantamount to drinking from a fire hose! Nonetheless, I was able to at least come close (only 4 raw points away from passing) on my first bar attempt. Without John's one day course, that would not have been possible to even get close. John's website is www.performancetest.net. Don't hesitate to call for up-to-date class meeting schedules as he sets his schedules according to the BarBri schedules in CA to be the most accommodating as possible. Consequently, there might be more classes offered than is reflected on his website. Technology isn't John's focus, but my passing the bar is. I guess I can accept that as a fair trade. ;-) I count John as my PT savior. I have complete and total faith in his methods and owe my success on the PT portion of this bar exam to John and John alone. John once spent two hours with me after I got my first bar exams back for review. I was crushed to get so close and yet no cigar. My study buddy passed and I was now all alone. Law school was over and my support system was gone... totally absent. John spent those two hours with me that night after teaching all day and before driving home 8 long hours through the night to care for his special needs children by the next morning. Because he spent that time with me, John gave up dinner and any hopes of sleep that night in order to be there for me when I needed him. You think I'm a strong supporter of Mr. Holtz? You damned right I am! I owe my success to John, who totally rocks in my book! I will be eternally grateful and appreciative to John for my passing the CA bar exam. I wholeheartedly endorse John's course and hope you'll enjoy the same overwhelming excitement when it's your turn to see your name on that congratulatory letter from the State Bar. There's nothing else like it in the world. John, I thank you with my entire being and that little thing we call a bar card!

I just started celebrating because I got the score I needed for graduate school while writing this…read morereview...already intoxicated but will try to make it readable... Absolutely AMAZING! I have spent so much money on GRE prep services (thousands) but this is by far the best thing that actually made a HUGE impact on my GRE score overall. I cannot say enough about Charles and his ability to teach the material. He is both passionate and constantly full of energy... that's probably an understatement. Although he sometimes goes quickly through the material, he will ALWAYS stop if you have questions on how to go about answering the questions. In addition, he is always adamant about getting the students to text him, calling, emailing, carrier pigeon-ing, with questions that pertain to the material if you are having trouble. The tricks and strategy on ways he taught me on how to approach each question on the GRE test allowed me to answer most of the questions that I struggled with. He is one of the greatest factors that allowed me to put this burden that has plagued my progression in life down like a dirty dog... so dirty... In addition, the online modules that accompany the Princeton Review is exceptional! Not only are both the presenters attractive (not bisexual) but they go over in detail on how to approach each question step-by-step which allowed me to answer most of the questions that came up on the GRE. I can't speak for those who had bad experience from the MCAT or any other test but, regarding the GRE, Princeton Review is what allowed me to get through this test (with the addition of memorizing an a@@ load of flashcards) and able to finally apply to the graduate schools that will allow me to finally be able to call myself doctor!!!

I wanted to give PR a higher rating but this was the best my son & I could agree on…read more Some background...I consider my son bright with a strong work ethic. Prior to taking the SATs his only standardized test experience was the PSAT & without studying scored 1360. I had big hopes for him doing great in his SATs so we went the a PR private tutor ($3200, not an insignificant amount for us) as insurance. I was a bit surprised when he took PRs initial test assessment (1220) but not overly concerned. I figured with private tutoring he'd vastly improve because he had never seen a single SAT question/test. The PR Westwood private tutor dept manager...very professional & always responded quickly & thoroughly. Five stars The PR private tutor...very professional. The studying/homework requirements struck me as a bit lax, I would have expected a heavier workload. I also would have liked a bit more communication especially if there was any inkling that results would underwhelm. Four stars Results...my son took the SAT twice & both times was mid 1300s which was disappointing. To the Westwood office credit, I think they too were disappointed with the first result & offered six additional hours of free tutoring to prep for a 2nd attempt. But the results were near identical, no material improvement. Why two stars? The response from the Student Guarantees office. I thought there was a +150 pt refund guarantee for the tutoring services (so did the Westwood office) but the Student Guarantee office rejected my request. According to them, they take a baseline (1220 for my son) then "We'll then compare your starting score to the score you received on the official test." Fair enough, they don't state what that means. According to the Student Guarantees manager when I asked if PR would be satisfied with their services if my sons score went from 1220 to 1230 under the $3200 private tutoring program, he replied "Yes that is correct, any score increase satisfies the term of the money back guarantee, for the Standard tutoring package." Wow, how many parents would fork over $3200 knowing that? I'm not trying to be trivial but I would have expected a more empathetic & reassuring response from a company that touts their focus on customer results & satisfaction.

Scott is able to clearly identify the strategies for attacking the types of questions in addition to reviewing the general knowledge. My daughter found the tips and strategies to be very beneficial. Over the course of the study period she was able increase her scores on practice tests for both the verbal and quantitative reasoning sections. My daughter says she is very pleased with Scott's approach and found him to be very personable with sound knowledge of the material and also a good sense of humor. She is planning to take the GRE in Jan 2021 and feels very well prepared. Based on discussions with my daughter I highly recommend Scott as a GRE tutor.
