The Princeton Review

Very unimpressed, to say the least.
The teachers are awful, low-​quality and unprofessional. The staff are not much better…
I was in a classroom-​style course which I wasn’t getting much out of so I re-​enrolled in an online class.
The very first online class that I took showed the wrong time on the student tools page. So I missed the first class tonight.
The company hours are supposed to be until 10pm. I called tonight at 9:30pm after I couldn’t access my course, but couldn’t reach anyone.
I sent my teacher an e-​mail asking why I couldn’t access the course but her response was to simply call technical support because she doesn’t know anything about computers.
This company cares more about quantity than quality — money instead of people.
The Princeton Review just tries to scare everyone into thinking that they will not do as well on the GRE if they don’t have some coaching. Well, even with the coaching — which is just a bunch of not-​so-​creative acronyms and a review of basic English and math, I highly discourage anyone from taking this course and instead recommend that you just get a book and study on your own.
You’ll probably get a lot more out of persistent and focused self-​study rather than wasting your money on this ridiculous company.
There are so many free resources out there and there are ways to do well on the GRE without spending $ 1k. Personally, I’m preparing for the GRE by taking a math class for review at my local community college (where there’s free tutoring), reading up on GRE strategies and also learning as many new GRE words as I can before the exam.
I plan to ask for a full refund tomorrow and just study for the test on my own. Either that, or take the MAT, which the college I hope to get into accepts as an alternative test.
