"The results - the final result was the absolute best thing." - Dan
Overview
Dan Hochman and Mr. Hochman, New York City
Why did you choose PrepMe? [PARENT]
I read the article in FORTUNE Small Business on PrepMe and your team. I then looked into it with my own research and the information on your website, and even more importantly, Karan's (PrepMe CEO) email that he exchanged with me over several days showed me that you guys had a high level of focus on college entrance exams and a program that I thought could help my son.
What specific area was PrepMe instrumental in? [PARENT]
Dan's tutors made a specific suggestion to pay attention to the endurance aspect of the test. He needed to pay attention to the endurance. Pointing out that it was not just an academic exercise and a learning process, but that, in fact, a four hour test, like other sporting events . helped Dan focus on this aspect which requires body and mind preparation. Whether that be nutrition or just setting aside time and this combination of tips helped him improve his score significantly.
How did you like the online tutoring? [STUDENT]
I thought that my tutors were fantastic. They gave two suggestions that really helped. The first, which I think my dad said, was the suggestion to take tests in 4.hour blocks. I had previously been taking a couple sections here and there. That was before my first SAT. So, in taking my first SAT and feeling the brunt of a four hour test hurt some of my scores quite a bit. Your suggestion to take tests in four hour blocks and try to simulate realistic testing conditions really helped. The second aspect that helped a lot was the vocabulary book you sent which is an approach to vocabulary that I had never seen. Using the book and the strategies my tutor taught me, I was able to learn a lot of vocabulary of which a number of words appeared on the test.
Was there something about PrepMe's course that you couldn't get elsewhere and also had a tremendous impact on your score? [STUDENT]
I thought that the ability to access exactly what you wanted to work on was something that you couldn't find in a prep book or course. where you couldn't just focus directly on one aspect of vocabulary, one aspect of grammar. With other programs and classes you learn general skills not specific ones that you personally need to improve on. PrepMe's course was comprehensive and also very specific.
What is the best thing about your PrepMe experience? [STUDENT]
I found the online diagnostic test and the online practice s to be really helpful. I liked how they were interactive and gave you your scores back on the spot. Furthermore, it gave you feedback on what you got wrong and that was helpful. I also liked the online practice sections where you were able to learn something specifically . by focusing on areas you needed to improve on. The customized lessons along with the practice tests were really helpful.
What is the best thing about your PrepMe experience? [PARENT]
The final result was the absolute best thing. The second best thing was your team's willingness to engage in a detailed dialogue, both before I signed up and after . the follow-up after.
How did PrepMe do? Did we go above and beyond your expectations? [PARENT]
Yes. We had a target goal of 2200, and Dan achieved a 2300. So YES, it went beyond expectations and exceeded our goal.
Would you recommend PrepMe to your friends and family? [PARENT]
We already have! I have a younger son and daughter who are high school freshmen so it'll be interesting to see how your company grows over the next several years and we will certainly be checking in with you again when we need additional test prep.
