I took the test crackers group verbal course with Isaac Puglia. I started the 6 week verbal course with a V28. After the 6 sessions and a holiday week causing the class to be 7 weeks long, my verbal increased to a V35. Isaac set me up to continue my verbal journey after the class ended. Another 7 weeks of studying and my verbal increased to a V41.I attribute all my verbal success to Isaac. I had completed multiple verbal courses before and this course was by far the most beneficial.Isaac is an amazing coach and I highly recommend. This course is an excellent way to gain verbal skills while saving money.

I highly recommend TestCrackers for GRE prep. I found the instruction useful and dare I say... fun! Yuri was friendly, accommodating, and had a great sense of humor. TestCrackers had a lot of value besides the in-person classes, such as recorded lessons online you could use outside of class and in-person office hours to help you work through tough questions. If youre thinking about going to grad school and are ready to invest the time needed to get your score up, do yourself a favor and take a TestCrackers course.

The TestCrackers teaching team is terrific! They helped me prepare for the GRE with their fun, informative, and structured classes (I took Quant and Verbal). Not only did I learn the material, but they also went over test-taking strategies, which was super helpful. The learning environment was so welcoming - I always enjoyed going to class!

Great staff and course. Apart from the regular math and verbal material, the tips and tricks they teach you is helpful to increase your score. I would definitely recommend their service to anyone preparing for GMAT.

I had a lovely time studying with TestCrackers for my GRE in 2019. Yuri was professional and patient with every student, and always helped everyone stay up-to-speed on their studies. I would definitely recommend them for any postgraduate standardized test preparation!

Really enjoyed classes with Isaac and office hours with Seth and Anisa! Every session was engaging, encouraging, and very helpful towards learning and getting more comfortable with the concepts tested on the GMAT. Would highly recommend.

I had a great experience and results from prepping for the GMAT with Yuri and Seth! Highly recommend working with them if you are seeking an efficient, personalized study program with people who actually care to connect with you as a person and get you to your goal.

I feel so grateful to find TestCrackers and take their GMAT preparation classes. Seth and Isaac are super friendly and very helpful. They made the classes very efficient and full of fun. They provided a very structural and systematic framework of GMAT knowledge, and numerous useful tips to handle different types of questions. Also, they explained very well on the scoring system, providing great confidence and a pace of mind during my test. Also they provided awesome QA sessions every weekend, and Anisa was super helpful to answer our detailed questions. I highly recommend their classes if you want to improve your GMAT score. my 1st GMAT before taking their classes: V33, Q49, Total 660. my 2nd GMAT after taking their classes: V42, Q49, Total 740, a true magic because of TestCrackers.

This group is amazing! I took their GRE course and it was thorough, engaging, and I felt like I got attention and time when it was needed. I would definitely recommend TestCrackers for any such endeavor. Worth it!-philosophy grad student

I took the GRE verbal and quant classes with Isaac. At first I tried to study for this test on my own. However due to a lack of structure I became more confused regarding the material than before. Isaac and the team at TestCrackers lay out a weekly schedule that you can follow and this allows you to feel confident in your approach. Isaac was very helpful and makes the classes fun so that the 3 hours do not seem like a drag. Furthermore, the office hours with Yuri are great where you can go and get one on one help to address any problem areas. I will highly recommend anyone who is serious about improving their test scores to consider signing up for these classes. Isaac and the team are genuinely interested in your test journey and beyond and remain invoked even after the test is over. Don’t go through the test taking stress alone and sign up for one of their classes!

I took a GMAT prep course with Seth and Yuri, which was a great experience. I always felt like Seth and Yuri really cared about our learning experience, teaching us valuable strategies for the test while also making it fun. I started at around a 610 and wound up scoring a 760 on the actual test. I am now at UC Berkeley Haas. Thanks Seth and Yuri!

All teachers were so caring and made sure all the students are understanding the materials. When there were more difficult exercises, they explained the topic from different angles. All students were engaging. Highly recommend it :)

This is truly a great place to start GRE prep. The teachers are knowledgable and share great tips. The office hours are really useful to clear the doubts.

I took GMAT Verbal and Quant classed at TestCrackers. They helped me improve my scores more than 200 points. If you are on your GMAT journey , TestCrackers will be your best ally to help you strategize and reach your targeted scores.

Taking the quant and verbal course with Isaac was one of the best investments I have made in my educational career. It allowed me to lay a solid foundation in which to build off of. I highly recommend Isaac as an instructor because he kept the class entertaining, explained everything until you understood, and showed a genuine interest in your goals. Isaac was patient and kept following up with me even after the course ended. I took the test a 1 time and didnt like my initial score, so I reached out to Isaac and we had a chat about my strategy and he was able to give me advice and ways to cover my weaknesses. He also gave me additional resources to study from that helped me a lot.With the help of Isaac, I achieved my goal of getting into Marshalls MSBA program and I couldnt have done it without his help!

Out of all the prep materials Ive bought, TestCrackers was easily the best and most helpful. You really do receive the best education for the money. The small class sizes really help you get the most out of classes, and Yuri is a great math teacher! He is fun and makes math accessible, where it would otherwise be daunting. I feel so much more prepared for my GRE now that Ive finished my math course. 10/10 would do it again

So glad that I turned to TestCrackers for my GMAT prep. Isaac was an incredible instructor—keeping the class time engaging and consistently being available for support outside of class. The San Francisco classroom location is also convenient for attending after work. For those looking for an effective and personal in-class test prep experience, I highly recommend this company.

I used TestCrackers to help me prepare for the GRE. They were amazing! No question was ever considered too stupid, therefore I felt comfortable asking questions in order to learn the material! I highly recommend them for the price value and quality of education! Also wanted to note that after doing TestCrackers GRE program I did get into grad school that year :)

Small class size and wonderful teachers make it a great experience. If you do take the courses, make sure to take advantage of the office hours and supplemental videos-- which in my opinion provide almost as much value as the in person classes. I feel like I understand the GRE now, and am actually looking forward to taking it. The hardest thing is to practice everyday but that is the best way to approach taking these courses. I had a lot of questions, and professors were happy to answer all of them.

I was hesitant at first to sign up for a GRE course because they are so expensive, however I am so glad I did and there is absolutely no way I could have taught myself so many tricks and tips in such a short period of time making it worth every dollar.I had Anisa for both Math and Verbal and I really loved her teaching style. I would even go so far to say that she is one of the best teachers and communicators I have every experienced. She is patient, kind, helps give multiple ways of approaching things, and provides a safe classroom space for you to feel absolutely comfortable sometimes having absolutely no idea what you are doing or where to start.I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to study for the GRE.

I studied for the GMAT with Seth at the Santa Clara location of TestCrackers and got a great score this last weekend. Not only were the classes comprehensive in covering all the material for the GMAT, but also great at providing tips, tricks and strategies for solving each problem accurately. The timing aspect is critical on the GMAT, and meeting the timing goals was really drilled into our heads by the instructors. In addition to this, the location has access to a great library of materials, which allows you to borrow books that would be useful to study from. Not just Seth, but the whole team has been great at providing all support before and after the exam. Seth went over my practice GMAT scores with me, pointing out areas that I should focus on, and checked on my progress multiple times. Working with TestCrackers helped me raise my score from a 610 to a 720 in the actual GMAT. If you are looking for small class sizes, dedicated instructors, great content along with a fun time in class, you cannot go wrong with TestCrackers.

Such a wonderful company - 100% recommend this. Very personal, and tailored instruction, highly valuable advice, and very personable instructors! These people truly make studying fun instead of dreadful. They also offer so many good resources, online, and physical, that would require more money if you signed up for any other type of service from a big test company.

I took the GRE quant class with Isaac in SF. I think this class is essential if you want to understand how much of the exam is gaming it. Id even say the techniques, approach and strategy is more relevant to your success than the content. Testcrackers are true pros at this. Taking this class was absolutely the right decision and Id recommend it to anyone who wants to feel prepared on game day. Shout out to Isaac for his kindness, generosity, and commitment to seeing his students succeed. That is precious and irreplaceable.

Took the GMAT Prep courses (Verbal with Seth; Quant with Isaac) and had a great experience! The overall vibe is personable, supportive and constructive, which offers the ideal environment for test prep (since it can be daunting!). Would especially recommend the course for those who are just starting out test prep and not sure how to get things going. TC is also very responsive and receptive to student feedback, which is much appreciated!

I took the Verbal class with Seth in San Francisco and thought it was incredibly useful. I’ve taken other GMAT test prep classes but TestCrackers helped me improve my score more quickly than anything else I’ve done. The classes are small and interactive. Also, Seth has done an incredible job of helping me after the class has ended as I’ve studied on my own. Could not recommend TestCrackers more highly!!

I would highly recommend TestCrackers to anyone who is looking for a helpful, encouraging place to learn both the content and the test-taking tips necessary to reach your goals on the GRE or GMAT. Yuri and Anisa are awesome teachers, and they spend a lot of time and effort helping customize your study plan based on your strengths and areas of improvement. Even after the class, they continue to be a great resource. Cant say enough good things!

Thank goodness for TestCrackers! I thought I could study for the GMAT on my own without any classes, but my score didnt change, and I was especially weak in Quant. After taking the full program, there was a dramatic improvement in my Quant score, and I give all the credit to TestCrackers. Yuri and Seth are very passionate teachers, and their enthusiasm for cracking these tests is contagious. You wont regret signing up for their courses!

Took the GRE math/quant prep with Yuri and it was actually...fun. Math has always sucked for me, but he made it easy by breaking the concepts down to bite size pieces. After not touching any kind of math subject for 12 years (since undergrad), I ended up going from a 153 to 161. I will forever claim this improvement is what got me into my reach grad school choice.Real talk, this is the best choice in the bay for GRE/GMAT prep. Their custom workbooks go beyond the basics of what you can get online, and each teacher will work with you to make sure you have a study plan thats actually tailored towards what you need to improve.If you dont know, now you know.

From day one, Anisa/Test Crackers Instructor helped appease my GRE anxiety by teaching me test taking strategies that would lead to greater confidence in my test taking abilities.4 verbal courses later, I feel much smarter than I did before Test Crackers. My vocabulary has improved significantly and my critical thinking skills have sharpened. Bottom line, if you are preparing to take the next biggest step in your academic career, invest in yourself and seek the help of Test Crackers.

I wouldn’t have passed the GRE without Test Crackers! The last time I took a math class was in 1999 and Yuri caught me up in a few short weeks. Now I’m at my dream school getting the masters degree I worked so hard to get to. I love that this is a small locally owned business with instructors that care about my individual success and helping me get where I need to go.

Seth and Yuri are both great teachers. They provide you with personal advice and care about your progress. I would definitely recommend TestCrackers to anyone who is looking for an in-depth GMAT class.

I wouldnt be going to business school if it wasnt for TestCrackers. They really helped me wrap my head around the GMAT which helped me achieve the score I wanted and really got me off to a start in my applications. I was accepted to a number of top 20 schools and am beginning studies at Emory Universitys Goizueta Business School this fall.*Bonus - I was introduced to an amazing admissions consultant through TestCrackers as well, so it really ended up being full-service for me.

I took GRE classes from TESTCRACKERS at San Francisco location. The classes were quite helpful as well. Course was very comprehensive and informative. The classroom was well equipped with everything you need; all material you need for studying was provided. Yuri is one of the best math instructors with great humor, and I actually enjoyed studying for the GRE while I was here.I highly recommend TESTCRACKERS for the price value and quality of education!

Best course I have taken both in teaching content and strategy! Highly recommend to help move your score. I was able to move my GRE quant score alone 4 points thanks to Yuri!!!

Worth every penny!! If I could give more than 5 stars to TestCrackers, I would! Anisa was my teacher for Quant and Verbal, and I only have good things to say about her classes and the center. She is calm, reassuring, and so incredibly smart. I am not a confident test taker and she made me actually *want* to come to class and study for the GRE every day. She really cares about her students, and her enthusiasm is contagious. She taught us all of the strategies wed need to be successful on the test, including mindfulness practices and quick meditations! I never thought that I would be excited about taking a standardized test, but she made it happen.Along with the interactive and informative classes, TestCrackers give you a book of practice questions, class booklets, vocabulary flash cards, and access to videos of every class. All of these materials were super helpful to me when the class was over and I had to continue studying on my own.TestCrackers went above and beyond my expectations, and I am so grateful that this place exists! Without it, I definitely would have run away from the GRE. Instead, I was confident and had the right tools and strategies to do my best on the exam.

This prep-course is the only way to study for the GMAT exam. Not only does TestCrackers provide the tools to excel throughout the Quant and Verbal sections, but they also coach you on the Essay and Integrated Reasoning portions. Five stars all around.

TestCrackers was well organized, the curriculum was difficult AND helpful, but above all, the tutors were not only incredibly knowledgeable of the subjects, they were also effective and genuine in teaching...and my scores helped me get into my desired schools with an added bonus of being awarded merit based scholarships!

I took both their GMAT verbal & Quant course with Seth (Quant) & Issac (Verbal) in parallel. I was able to boost my score by about 50 points simply by attending the classes and doing homework. More practice got me exactly to my target score. All this in a matter of 4 months (June - October).QuantSeth is a great instructor. He is genuinely passionate about Math. The classes go over all the math fundamentals you need for the test. Apart from this, Seth also held office hours in Berkeley. I strongly recommend folks to go it. I lived quite far from Berkeley (almost an 1 hour away) but I still managed to go to about 4 of them. Seth also periodically checked in on my progress even after the course was over. Join test crackers, the instructors do everything they can to make you successful. Stay dedicated, work with them and get to where you want to be!VerbalI took verbal classes with Isaac. The course was on Tuesday evenings. Everyone is tired and Isaac understands this. He tries to lighten up the classes with Bieber jokes (no offense to Bieber fans :)). Not being a native speak, I was weak at verbal. Isaac stayed beyond 9:30pm on more than a couple times to answer my questions. Seth also held verbal office hours (which I attended of course). One of the office hours extended well beyond the stipulated time and Seth really went through all the questions so patiently.

I had a great experience at TestCrakers - Seth is an excellent instructor.

Yuri, Seth, Anisa and Marty were my teachers for the prep tests. Their promptness in answering my questions and patience in elaborating on a concept were true value to me. Besides test theoretical matters, one goes through lot of work and personal life juggles, here testcracker teachers brought sense of humor and personal concern that really helped me persevere test preparing challenges and struggles. One advice to newcomers is to study lesson and do your (most) homework before each class so you have your concepts lined and maximize Yuri, Seth, Anisa and Martys valuable time in class. Small class and weekly quant office hours + points

If you need to prepare for the GMAT look no further! TESTCRACKERS is the answer! Its a small company of great instructors! I took classes at Berkeley and San Francisco locations. The classrooms are well equipped with everything you need and all materials you need for studying are provided. These guys put a lot of thought into this GMAT course. They have their own Quant and Verbal course books which provide you with all info you need to pass the GMAT: strategies, tricks, formulas, rules, shortcuts for solving problems. They go through every type of problem and every strategy in class, and explain how to crack the code. These guys are brilliant and hardworking, and their guidance made a huge difference for me in regards to GMAT preparation. I took Anisas Verbal course and Seths Quant course. They both were great, they know what they are talking about and try to pass their knowledge to you in a very friendly, kind way. The course is intense and its challenging to be studying after a long day filled with work/kids/chores, but their nice energy and friendly atmosphere in class made this experience less stressful and even pleasant. P.S. Videos of Quant course made by Yuri are awesome! I think Yuri is the Math God!

I just finished the full GRE prep course - both Verbal and Quantitative - with TestCrackers last Sunday night, and I couldnt have been happier. I had Yuri for the Quant section, and Anisa for the Verbal section, and both beyond exceeded my expectations as test prep tutors.I thoroughly enjoyed the material both of them taught and looked forward to my classes. They break down the necessary elements to each section, and then offer PLENTY of relevant homework to do. They also offer to build study plans for students when the course ends, which I will definitely be taking advantage of now that Ive finished. Theres so much study material that they make available, and its so obvious that the instructors truly care about their students success and wellbeing.Yuri was an excellent teacher with a dry humor that I grew to love (even though hes a Cavs fan). He puts a great deal forth in terms of his example problems to make them so much more fun, and even integrates us as students into the examples.Anisa is tremendously kind and helpful, and she really breaks down all the question types into manageable pieces. She will NOT give up until she knows you have learned the question you are asking about. They both also provided delicious chocolate cake at the end of the course as celebration which made finishing the class so sweet (pun intended). Skip the bland test prep course with Kaplan, or whatever, and TAKE TESTCRACKERS!!!

Absolutely one of the best test prep courses Ive attended.

TestCrackers has all of the technical strategies to help you improve your test scores and the passion of a group of people who really care about your improvement.

Great for strategy and prepping!
