TestCrackers GMAT and GRE Prep - Berkeley, California

Stephanie Glover

I am so thankful that I was able to have the opportunity to work with TestCrackers when it came to preparing for the GRE. All the instructors are great. I took classes with Seth and Yuri and had more fun in their classes than any class preparing for the GRE should have. They are incredible teachers and make learning easy and enjoyable. I felt that they both cared so much about their students' goals and progress and went above and beyond to help in any way possible. Anyone looking for a quality class that is a true compendium of the GRE should take this course. What you pay for the course is completely worth it and is 100% a worthwhile investment.

I cannot recommend TestCrackers enough. Yuri and Seth are truly the best in the business, and run a top-notch organization. The resources, quality of instruction, and testing space (office) all contribute to a fantastic overall learning experience. Yuri and Seth's years of experience radiates in every aspect of their teaching and management. These guys literally saved my GRE score and I cannot thank them enough!

I took the GRE math prep course with Yuri and had a great experience. I had previously taken a different GRE prep course and I was looking to increase my quant score. Thanks to Yuri's help and TestCrackers great curriculum I was able to significantly improve my score. If you're looking for a program to help you prepare for the GRE, I would definitely recommend TestCrackers over the other options out there.

I have nothing but great things to say about the courses and staff at TestCrackers. I took the in-person GRE Quant course with Yuri and the virtual GRE Verbal course with Isaac.

I thought I would be taking the GMAT to pursue an MBA, but after a consultation call with Seth where we went into detail about my career goals, academic strengths, and other preferences related to testing, we decided that the GRE was the best option for me -- saving me time and money in finding the test where I'd perform the best. Seth checked-in throughout my time in the courses and really made the experience personal.

GRE Quant Course: I highly recommend the GRE Quant course with Yuri in-person (took in Berkeley). Math is not my strong suit and he not only provided new and easier ways to solve GRE problems, but made me feel confident in my skills. His class is entertaining and engaging and he offers excellent support via office hours during the duration of the course. What really made TestCrackers and Yuri stand out was his post-course support. He helped me identify the areas that I needed to work on and created a study plan for me leading into the test. It was this feedback that made a really difference when my practice test scores leveled off.

GRE Verbal Course: I enjoyed the online GRE Verbal course with Isaac and found his strategies for attacking the questions and study plans to be really helpful. He also made students feel confident in asking questions and often checked for understanding with examples. The virtual environment was great, but I would've enjoyed doing this class in-person as well.

The content and curriculum, small group learning environment, and instructors really set TestCrackers apart. I am not a particularly strong standardized test taker, but scored 160+ on both sections. I would highly recommend these courses to anyone looking to take the GRE or GMAT.

Seth and Yuri are amazing, patient, and kind teachers and their GRE Prep course was fantastic. It helped build my confidence, especially in math, and the tricks I learned from them have helped me in grad school and beyond. If you need to prepare for the GMAT or GRE I would highly recommend choosing TestCrackers!

I took the GRE verbal class with Seth, and that was the best investment I ever made! The small class sizes and teaching methods that Seth used were the highlights of this class. I enjoyed going to class every week and could see noticeable improvements in my verbal score as the class progressed. I got above the score I wanted and am very satisfied with my experience at TestCrackers. I would strongly suggest this class to anyone who is wanting to improve their GRE score. They were also very helpful and accommodating in helping me find a class that worked around my work schedule. Overall, it was a fantastic experience! Thanks Seth!

I found out about TestCrackers from Isaac's podcast "The GMAT Strategy". Listening to the podcast helped quite a bit (I attribute my essay score of 6 to the podcast); nevertheless, I reached out to TestCrackers to find a tutor to help me during one-on-one sessions to improve my score. I worked with Seth to improve my Verbal section score. Seth provided great strategies to improve my approach with Reading Comprehension, Sentence Correction, and Critical Reasoning. TestCrackers additionally provided helpful resources. Seth and I worked through problems, and I definitely improved my GMAT test-taking ability, core knowledge, and overall strategy under his direction. I eventually took the GMAT and reached a 99 percentile score. I would definitely recommend TestCrackers to anybody studying for the GMAT.

These classes have been the best thing that I could have done for myself. I started preparing for the GRE with a very low score initially but after taking Yuri's class, my math scores have been consistently increasing. Before coming here, I had looked at a few different prep classes and chose to go with TestCrackers, because I felt that as their class sizes are smaller, I would get the individual attention that I needed. I was absolutely right. These guys really care for their students and go way above and beyond to help each person meet their score goals. Even after the class was done, Yuri asked us to keep in touch and come back for more assistance if we needed it. It was so great that after the quant classes, I decided to take the verbal class with Seth as well and guess what? After just one class, I took a practice exam today and both my scores have again increased.
