Test Masters Educational Services

My student went for the test today (¹⁰⁄₃₁) at Gessner location. Its not a joke that the kids get up early morning and go almost half a day to take practice test — THEY ARE THERE TO IMPROVE THEIR SCORE… and here the instructors were fighting/​arguing with each other over responsibilities… and my kid could not concentrate. The student’s whole effort for today was a waste… very unprofessional.
Prior to this couple of months ago, at one weekend, when the test timings are 10 – 2, all kids were kicked out at 1.30 pm in the hot sun to stand out side instead being allowed to wait inside till 2.00 pm. highly unethical. When the location is supposed to stay open till 2.00 pm then why not let students wait inside?
The instructors used for tutoring session (extra tutoring sessions) are not up to the standards of teaching. Sometimes they don’t event know what they are there for — reading or writing.
My student got so frustrated after 3 – 4 tutoring sessions that she refused to go there for help.
This was my second attempt with testmasters since my first child attended it as well. I gave them a second chance but now I am sure not to recommend it to anyone… unless things change drastically.
And by the way, if your student is doing new PSAT — GOOD LUCK because they cant even see what they did incorrect at gessner location –Testmasters said that students have to go to sugarland location to look over their mistakes — then why does Testmasters have two locations ???

If you need test prep or anything this is the place to go because you get more bang for your buck. They have all kinds of test prep classes from gmat, sat, act, gre, lsat, mcat etc as well as regular tutoring for highschool students and probably college too. Best of all you can do a payment plan — so it’s pricy but affordable.

One of my boy’s improved his score by 110 points the other son had his score decline by 40 points. They did all the requirements of the course and are eligible for the 300 points guarantee. I am considering whether returning to Testmasters will be worth their time. The representative on the phone was helpful in explaining our options. After visiting the website, the times and location for the Score Improvement Program is very inconvenient for us. I am especially disappointed in these flat results since I had the boys take the SAT with no preparation at all the month before their Testmaster course. They took the SAT the second time within three weeks of completing Testmaster.

Very qualified, funny instructors — they teach you a lot while also keeping class interesting.

Testmasters is a focused rigorous approach to taking the SAT. Back in the day it was pretty revolutionary — you’ll learn skills such as eliminating answers, pacing yourself, vocabulary, reading, and math shortcuts. They helped me get a pretty decent score, and was more helpful than the other classes I had, including some strange comedy classes I took after school. Part of the preparation is learning to take the SAT seriously while getting the practice tests in so you’re efficient on test day.
College is getting more competitive, so you need every edge. Rockin’ your SAT is one of the things you have major control over, along with grades. Even the smart kids don’t wing this one. I wish I took a prep class for the GMAT; I ended up with a pretty average score, and I could have done much better.
