How we measure improvement

• If you have taken the official test for which you have prepared six months or less before the start of your Princeton Review program: We will compare your prior official test score to your official score on the test you take within 30 days (45 days for DAT, MCAT and OAT)) following the final session of your program.
• If you have not taken the official test for which you have prepared six months or less before the start of your Princeton Review program: We will compare the results of your first practice test in our program to your score on the official test you take within 30 days (45 days for DAT, MCAT and OAT)) following the final session of your program.

*Effective July 15, 2011 or earlier (depending on location), TPR will only offer Revised GRE preparation programs. If you opt to exercise your guarantee before that date, you may choose between the existing offering or the corresponding Revised GRE offering.

After July 15, 2011, all guarantees will be the Revised GRE equivalent; except GRE Strategies Essentials Course students may take the Revised GRE Online course or apply a $350 credit to our Revised GRE Classroom Course.

If you opt to exercise your guarantee with the Revised GRE course offering, the new materials may be purchased for $200.
