The classroom setting was incredible! I loved making relationships with my fellow classmates and my teacher, Chris. If he explained something that I didn’t understand, my classmates could explain it differently until I understood the concept.

Practice tests, practice tests, practice tests!! The more you can take tests like the real environment, the better.

How the Princeton Review helped me achieve my score goal:

Ask questions, try as many practice problems as possible and make sure to focus on your live online classes. The instructors really do care about you and tries to change your way of thinking about approaching the exam. Very interesting and fascinating. Never a dull moment during lectures.

My personal study tips:

My study was about 4 months; 6-7 hours per day. No studying on weekends. Each day I would mix and match. For instance, I would review and take notes on 10 pages of biology, then do the same thing for physics. Next day, I would do 10 pages of psych/social then switch to G chem. Basically, I didn't want to get bored with a single subject. But most importantly, practice those passages in the "after class" section of your coursework and of course the TPR mock tests and AAMC tests. Hey, my score isn't even in the top 20% or anything but I know my limits and couldn't be happier with what I got. TPR DO HAVE THE RESOURCES but it's up to you to use them.

How the Princeton Review helped me achieve my score goal:

The most helpful aspects for me were the online classes and review materials and practice exams.

My personal study tips:

I read through each section in the review books and completed the questions in the book. Additionally, I completed many practice passages in the workbook, focusing on weak areas. As the date of the exam approached, I focused mostly on completing full length practice exams, looking over weak areas, and going back to review those areas and do more practice passages.

How the Princeton Review helped me achieve my score goal:

The teachers were fantastic and willing to answer any questions I had. They were also very available and supportive when I emailed them outside of class hours.

My personal study tips:

Don’t be afraid to ask questions during or outside of class. Also don’t get discouraged if you score really low on the Princeton Review tests. They are a lot harder than the real test and aren’t reflective of your actual score

How the Princeton Review helped me achieve my score goal:

It was the little tips and formulas that combined to make me know how to do certain problems faster. I also knew exactly the format of the test so it felt natural taking it, with no surprises. I knew what to look out for and how to approach the really difficult questions.

My personal study tips:

Each day for about 2-3 weeks before my test, I would go home and spend at least an hour dedicated to practicing and then checking my answers. As I got closer to the dates, I began doing timed and bubble sheet full length sections.
