Testimonials

From 2009 GRE Exam Prep participant, Tara Zolnikov: I just wanted to send you a note to let you know that not only have I been accepted into the Epidemiology doctorate program at Harvard, but I was offered a HUGE NIOSH scholarship to go with my admittance. :) I accepted the offer and will be attending Harvard next year! Thank you so much for your help in making my dream come true! Thank you!!

From Pam Russell, a GRE Prep Course Participant: “Just wanted to let you know that I retook the GRE yesterday.  Previously I had scored a 890, 400 on math and 490 on English.  My new test score was 1060, 530 on both math and English.  I just wanted to thank you for the class.  It really helped me not only with my math skills but with my confidence level.  I would certainly consider myself a GRE champion!!”

From Chad Chastain, a GRE Prep Course participant: “This is just a short note to let you know I took the GRE today and I improved 100 points over the practice test I took at the beginning of your course… The verbal was exactly like you taught it. I had my great improvement in this area…Thanks for your help!”

From Narayan Mahon, a GRE Prep Course participant: “Well, I took the [GRE] test today and my total score went up 230 points! Thanks for all the help!”

From Courtney Fletcher, a GRE Prep Course participant: “I just want to formally thank you [Steve Shotts] for making the GRE class both easy to understand and humorous…I thought you were a very talented instructor who was able to teach others the rather numerous concepts needed to master the GRE…I appreciate the sincerity and the seriousness with which you approach a group of individuals who are preparing to take a test that may ultimately change their lives!”

From a GRE Prep Course participant: “I was in your June GRE class and have been admitted to the Ed.D. program at NC State, which was my first-choice program.  Thanks again!”

From “Katie,” who took our GRE Prep Course: “…I got a 1090 on my GRE. This well exceeds the score I need to get into the program for which I’m applying, and I’m just elated.  There is no way that I could have done as well without the help of the GRE class [Steve] taught – my initial test score was a 920, and I was able to bring that up 170 points, based on the skills and strategies you provided.  Thanks so much – the class was truly a worthwhile experience.”

From a GRE Prep Class participant to Steve Shotts, a GRE Prep Course instructor: “After taking your class…I had a 180-point increase [in my GRE exam score].  I have never been strong in the verbal section, and I believe you really helped in increasing my verbal score on the GRE.  Your help with the math section was amazing as well.  I really appreciate your dedication to the course…thank you.”
