Horrible experience. Money grab. Do not sign up with Princeton Review. I paid $2000 with a money…read moreback guarantee and my son scored 40 points worse. After applying for a refund, they said my son missed a single homework assignment over a 12 week course and therefore I don't qualify for a refund. They did however offer the course free of charge again which is laughable. How can he qualify for one but not the other? Scammers. Don't pay for this service.

Now that the SAT and other standardized testing are being deemphasized by a growing number of…read moreprestige universities, The Princeton Review's paranoia-based marketing efforts are far less effective. At the moment it seems that the entrance essay is considered more illustrative of academic potential provided your stated goal is equity, justice and world peace. No, your child will not be consigned to a life of seasonal carnival work if you don't fork over thousands for their test prep assistance - with the labor shortage they may actually get a shot at freak show barker right off the bat. Nowadays, most of what The Review does is freely available on the internet or contained in innumerable volumes at your local bookseller. They do however, package their materials nicely in both hard and digital formats. If you prefer to wear both a belt and suspenders when helping your progeny secure a choice college berth TPR may help... at a price. Three stars for convenience.

My daughter has been going to these classes for the past 4+ years and as a parent I am extremely…read moreproud of my daughter's academic growth and her achievements. The class size is small, hence the students receive more focused and individualized attention. The teachers are well-educated and excellent. They are always ready to answer the questions and doubts of the students. The study material provided is highly enriched and comprehensive which helps my daughter be ahead of the learning curriculum at school. There are homework assignments which the students are given to complete. I would highly recommend A Grade Ahead of Plainsboro if you want your child to improve academically.

I can't say enough positive things about the C2 @ Princeton under the leadership of Kate S. Her…read moreattention to details and her assessment of my daughter capabilities is spot on! They provide an amazing service and are invested in the betterment of their students. The fees can be steep, but then, as far as education is concerned, you get to do it only once, there is no re-do. Getting right is primordial! So investing in my daughter's future was important. The personal attention my daughter received from the tutors, staffs and Kate is above and beyond. I highly recommend C2 of Princeton to any aspiring high-schooler. You can't go wrong with that type of caring, nurturing, and highly academic proven environment. Joe C

Horrendous experience in C2 Princeton! Be aware of the traps in the contract in general!…read moreBE AWARE! This is a very shady, fraudulent business. Keep a detail log of the hours your kid used. Be aware of its "Expiration of Tutor Instructional time" policy and how they use this expiration policy to rip you off thousands of your hard earned money! If you are a new customer, they give your kid a diagnostic test much harder than real SAT. Based on the score, they recommend you to buy lots of hour to reach your desired score. This is fear mongering! Hard test, low score, more hours==more money. At sign-up, you will be told the "100% money back guarantee tuition refund program", no single word about the "Expiration of Tutor Instructional time" policy. If you are an existing customer, they have promotion during the year. Right now, you all should get emails "Get our biggest savings of the year - Enroll now!" from C2. Be aware of this trap! They will encourage you to purchase lots of hours on top of current balance during promotion period, called "upgrade". BE AWARE of how they use the "Expiration of Tutor Instructional time" policy to rip you off. Ever since you pay for "upgrade", all the hours your kid uses from now on will be deducted from the "upgrade". Your hours from the balance of previous payment will be kept till its expiration. That means once you pay for "upgrade", your balance is set to zero no matter how many hours you have in your balance. How the used hours were logged is also dubious. My kid took some practice tests in the center. I tried to schedule meetings with the director when the test result came out. During the meeting, the director usually wrote down the hours used leading to the practice test. She usually utilized the number of used hours as an explanation for the test result. Now when I requested refund and finally got the list of the logged hours from the center, the logged hours from the list are much higher than the numbers I was given during the meetings. I was explained how the contract works in much more detail and depth when I ask for refund for over hundreds of unused hours, which worth more than $10k. Now I realized how the contract and the way the director conducted her business are fraudulent. It is a long story. I am in the legal battle with C2 now. As a good citizen, I feel it is my responsibility to let the general public know how fraudulent C2 business is. Please feel free to share my posting. Hope no others will be ripped off as much as I was.

Things were not looking good. In my search for a tutor, Anna was a godsend! With prior teaching experience and a solid background in academics, she helped my nephew go from an F to a C as a final grade (by a hair). Despite swearing up and down that he couldn't understand the Chemistry, her weekly one-on-one tutoring sessions at our house helped my nephew make sense of the subject. She works with the students and does not "talk at them." They worked on practice problems, went over homework and prepped for upcoming exams. Anna works very diligently and is extremely responsive to your needs - including a student's busy schedule. Most of all, Anna is an excellent tutor who cares about the success of her students.

The teachers are also uninformed about tests, such as the SAT, asking students/other staff how many sections there are or how many minutes you get. And while sometimes their students aren't exactly above average, their explanations are far too euphemistic. The SAT is not something that can easily be perfected with "tips and tricks." Huntington's tips and tricks aren't even that helpful. They're generic things that we already do without labeling them a name. They're also one of the companies that gives you a diagnostic test and then asks you the retake it towards the end of your time with them and then falsely boosts up your retake score to make it seem you learned from them. I'm severely disappointed.
