" First of all I thank and congratulate you for your efforts that you invested in me and for never letting me get bogged down because of test anxiety. Here is my test day experience. Background I had been practicing from approximately a week before my test to sit and practice GMATPrep questions or a practice test at 9:30 AM (the time when I had scheduled my GMAT appointment). This exercise helped me to consistently and actively perform at this very time interval during the day. Later on, I revised my Quant and Verbal concepts throughout the day. Test Day I allowed my self to get 8-hour sleep, which I believe is crucial for my performance. I got ready, had my breakfast and reached the test center 30 minutes before the scheduled time."

"The Princeton Review has been my guide, counselor and pillar of support throughout my GMAT preparation at Tambaram, Chennai center. I was confused and apprehensive about the idea of pursuing a career in management when I approached Mr. Bhaskar for his guidance in making the decision. I recall that meeting in which Mr. Bhaskar clarified all my doubts regarding the admissions process for the universities and the preparation required for succeeding in the GMAT. That was the point when I decided to prepare for the GMAT with the guidance of TPR. My math tutor Dr. Prabhuraj S advocated an approach to solving problems different from the ones we had learnt during our school days. He constantly encouraged us to come to class with doubts from the OG and other preparatory materials. His energy level during the classes was infectious to the point that there has never been a dull moment in his classes. My verbal tutor Mr. R.Bhaskar was diligent and sincere in his efforts when he took his classes. Starting from Day 1 he encouraged us to prepare for the AWA by improving our typing speed and cultivating our reading habits. The Sentence Correction classes were lively and involved discussions where everyone was encouraged discuss and arrive at the answer. I would sincerely like to thank Mr. Bhaskar and Ms. Sunitha for their constant faith in me and their unstinted support to me during the preparations. Mr. Bhaskar has guided me in all the areas from test preparation to selection of the colleges suitable for me and applying for the GMAT. He was always confident about my performance even when I started getting apprehensive about it. I would like to mention the contribution of the OSC of The Princeton Review which was of great help to me during my preparation. The question bank of the OSC is so exhaustive that almost all types of questions asked during the GMAT are covered in it. I feel that a lot of effort has gone into designing the Prep Tests which effectively simulate the main tests. I would Strongly recommend TPR for all prospective students who wish to succeed in GMAT"

"Hello, When I first joined Manya group I wasn't sure whether I had it in me to succeed in that level and go forward. I already had taken one GMAT exam before and failed miserably to meet up my own expectations. But Manya teachers and counselors changed that all. In only 3 months time I noticed marked improvements in my mock scores. Special thanks to my teachers Anirudh Raju(Maths), Jawaria Yaseen(Verbal), Pooja Bharti(Counselor), Keshoo Sharma(Editor). Without them I wouldn't have reached to the heights and also my expectations. Right now I'm at IIM Udaipur and looking forward to the course. "

"My name is Vikramjit Singh and I am sending you this email to share with you my experience of taking GMAT classes in Chandigarh at Princeton Review. The positive atmosphere in the class really acts as a catalyst in the whole learning process and encourages discussion. The teachers too encourage friendly discussion and therefore, the students feel very comfortable in sharing their problems. My experience was quite pleasant under the guidance of Mukhvinder ma'am (English) and Deepti ma'am (Mathematics) who taught me various good strategies in this subject and how to successfully implement them in the real test arena. I am really thankful to both of them for helping me out with my problems and to help me secure a score of 710 in GMAT and a score of 5.5 in AWA section. Thank You. Vikramjit Singh"

" I recently completed my GMAT exam, upon taking coaching in the INR-74 Batch. Would just like to share some feedback with you regarding the Course and the overall experience with Manya-Princeton Review. I was very happy with Ms. Merrily Tobin's classes - her classes were very informative and useful - she is extremely knowledgeable, and is extremely sure about the content that she teaches. Her booster sessions were very useful - she spent over 3 hours with me on several occasions. Every time I gave her a compliment, she would always pass on credit to the company. I think she is clearly an asset to your company. Your counsellors at the Indiranagar Centre - Anupama and Sindhu were extremely helpful and obliging. My parents were also very impressed upon meeting with Ms. Anupama. "

"Hello Friends! I began the GMAT journey back in August 2011, when one fine day, after going through the websites of the Harvard and Stanford business schools as well as our very own ISB, I decided that it had to be an MBA for me. Initially, I set my sights upon a 700, since that seemed to be a bare minimum for admission to the top schools. However, that 700 seemed to be quite intimidating after my 1st GMATPrep in which I scored a 620.I knew I would need professional help, especially with the Verbal Section, and I could not think of anything but the Princeton Review. The 1st day I came to Princeton, they promised me a 100-point jump in scores. At that point, I nearly scoffed at that claim- 620 plus 100 = 720 and I am no Einstein! After a week of confusion, I decided that it was worth a chance, even if I reached a 700.That was probably the best decision I have made so far in life. At Princeton Review, I was taken aback by the structured and organized process that they have developed for GMAT Preparation. Here, there is no rote learning or cramming involved. Rather you have time-tested techniques which are smart, effective and specifically crafted to get you to your desired score. Especially with Verbal, I must admit, I would have been stuck in the early 690s without their help. I shall forever remain indebted to my verbal faculty Saurab Sir. Sentence Correction is more like math and less like Verbal when he’s around! At Princeton, the support system too is fantastic. The centre was like a 2nd home to me in the days leading up to the exam. Be it their library of Prep material, their fully equipped Computer Lab or their Online Content, there is no dearth of content or facilities, provided you are committed to the cause. Lastly, I am thankful to my batch, GMAT49. Here, I have met wonderful people, who are not only excellent students, but also extremely helpful and co-operative and thus, learning with them has been a collaborative and enriching experience. And in this too, I extend credit to Princeton which encouraged “knowledge sharing” through the “Google Groups” since Day 1. There is no substitute for hard work. But with Princeton around, my effort definitely had a focus and a direction, absolutely vital ingredients for success. Good Luck with the GMAT! Cheers!"

" I am Vignesh (GMAT: 710; M:49, V:38, AWA:5.0) and I went in search of the best GMAT coaching centre in town, and soon found out that The Princeton Review is a cut above the rest. My quest for a good GMAT score started 6 months back and I enrolled myself at Princeton Review, Tambaram for my GMAT preparation. Right from the start of my GMAT classes I felt like home whenever I stepped into the centre. My Math tutor Mr. Ramkumar was effective and efficient in utilising the time we spent in the class. Whenever I was stuck in a problem, he would give me an easy method to get around it. More than feeding a man in hunger by giving him a fish, it is better to teach him how to fish. This precisely sums up my experience with Mr. Ramkumar. My Verbal tutor Mrs.Usha greatly helped me to enhance my Verbal score. From a meagre 19 that I scored on my Diagnostic test, her impact on my verbal score was so drastic that I doubled it to 38 in my GMAT exam. Her tips for the reading comprehension proved to be decisive in giving me a good Verbal score at the GMAT exam. Both Mr. Ramkumar and Mrs. Usha were very prompt in giving me their feedback on the online tests which again helped me gain confidence and initiated me to perform better. Their unstinted efforts to help all their students was very evident in their response to my untimely calls for solution to problems in Verbal and Maths. Even after the completion of my classes with The Princeton Review, both my tutors were more than eager to help me out with my preparation by giving me additional questions, and answering to my queries what they mentioned as” Boosters”. Moving on to the Online Student Centre, it is one of the best preparatory materials that you can get. It has umpteen drills, practice questions, tips, timed drills and full length tests, which catapulted my confidence to great heights as I saw a marked improvement in my scores after completing them. Another important aspect about The Princeton Review that makes it stand out from the rest is the Tutor-Student ratio. Never did it exceed 1:15, which was instrumental in the individual attention that I got. The ambience for learning is absolutely perfect in the centre, and never during the classes did I feel like a fish out of water. I had the freedom to stop my tutors anytime and get my doubts cleared. The class was very interactive unlike the ‘one-way traffic’ that you would have experienced in you colleges. I strongly recommend The Princeton Review to all aspiring GMAT test takers who want to score beyond their potentials. In short, The Princeton Review proved to be a catalyst in rocketing my score to 710 from the 470 that I got in my Diagnostic test. My score improvement is 240 points, what would be your‘s? quote"

" I am Roshini Roy Festus from the GMAT Jayanagar batch 113. I am the girl who had problems with pacing and I happened to mention to you that my second CAT went worse (pacing-wise) than the first although there was a marginal increase in my score. I also had my verbal section screw up on my second CAT and so I didn't get a proper overall score. I hope you vaguely remember me by now. Lol. I took my exam on the 22nd and I wanted to tell you my score and thank you personally for all the time and effort you took to make math easier to understand for me. I got a 49 in Math and that's WAYYYYY more than I ever HOPED to get especially considering my diagnostic test's score - a mere 32. If anyone here is to thank it definitely is you. I have never been keen on math but your passion for math and the effort you took for us made me end up working out more math for my GMAT than I ever did in school. My overall score is 720 which is a giant leap from the 580 I scored in my diagnostic test. It's funny cuz I was banking on verbal but I focused so much on math cuz it was my Achilles heel that I didn't even have time to practice verbal and my math score totally surprised me. Anyway regardless, I just wanted to thank you and The Princeton Review for all you have done and you especially for the time, effort, dedication and passion you have shown as a teacher. Yours truly, Roshini Roy Festus"

" GMAT exam is a test of your endurance more than your aptitude in management. It is also a test of time management. But most of us assume that since it involves Math and English, it will be cakewalk. After joining TPR, I was proved wrong in terms of many such assumptions. TPR lays out a lot of unknown facts about GMAT from day 1 which obviously helps us stay more prepared for the final outcome. For example, I never knew that 1/4th of the questions on the GMAT were experimental and skipping a weird looking and out-of-place question might cause me no harm at all because for all I know it might be experimental. And if I spend lesser time on it I will have more time to spend on the actual questions which will make a difference to my score. In the beginning, I was never able to finish either section because of my speed. The timed drills in OSC were extremely helpful that way - they helped me improve my timing on the actual test. The entire classroom program is designed very meticulously and the home work schedule ensures that students get sufficient practice. And best of all, the teachers are always ready to solve doubts. My Math teacher Harsha, helped me with all the Math concepts/questions and encouraged me a lot. My Verbal teacher Vikram, taught all the concepts extremely well and my Booster trainer Merrily refined my approach toward Verbal topics which ultimately pushed up my Verbal score. From a 550 in my Diagnostic test to a 710 in the actual test, TPR has helped me come a long way. "
