Tests do not only measure what you know, they also measure how well you take tests. Ensuring you address all the aspects of test-taking success - content mastery - test-taking strategy - optimal mindset - time management ...will help you perform your best and score your highest. At our work at City Test Prep, we bring decades of experience to GMAT preparation, leveraging our extensive work with standardized tests. Since 2005, we’ve empowered students to not only master test content and test-taking strategy, which are at the core of your learning, but also, to become resilient, confident, and adaptive test-takers. My journey began with in-depth tutoring at The Princeton Review, followed by years of dedicated solopreneurship, and the establishment of City Test Prep in 2005. We understand that factors like test anxiety, pressure, and self-doubt can significantly impact scores as does timing. Drawing on techniques rooted in mindfulness, visualization, life coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and even sound therapy, we’ve built a unique toolbox that gives students practical strategies to stay calm, clear-headed, and confident under timed conditions. Our mindset approach is similar to the training high-performing athletes receive from sports psychologists, customized specifically for test-takers. We guide students through a personalized study process that includes both content mastery and critical test-taking strategies like speed reading, time management, and mindset. Our offerings include the 'Full Potential Manual' and the GMAT Sentence Correction Intensive, as well as our signature MindFlow speed reading program, a mindful system designed to improve time efficiency. With these comprehensive resources, we enable our students to achieve exceptional results, which may be a full overhaul or just afew hours of individualized targeted coaching.
