I cannot stress how many questions I have done (~5000), and could have done much better had I contacted Saad prior to me starting my preparation.

Honestly you were the most significant help throughout, could not have gotten this score without you.

After taking the sessions I can safely say that this was by far the best decision I made. By going through each and every detail on the test you taught me how to optimize preparation for the exam which seemed overwhelming before. From learning how to pace myself in the exam to note-taking to how to mentally prepare myself before the test you covered quite literally everything. Most importantly I truly appreciate your kindness and authenticity. You genuinely want us to do our very best in the exam and it shows through your work ethic and approachable demeanor.

You can ask Saad for personalized tips especially for time management. And Saad is a gem. How he selflessly helps people achieve their dream scores is just out of this world.

Saad, I just wanted to say thank you with all the heart! We did it, despite that it had always been challenging for me to be able to perform well at verbal (since I tried the GMAT several times more than a year ago). I think you are a great guy, with a true vocation for service and teaching. Thank you for all the effort and commitment that you put into both the personal classes and the advice outside of them. I hope that life continues to bless you! You're a machine and a great guy!

Trusting Saad and his strategy is the key. Saad's guidance gives you the confidence and relieves you of the burden of trying to assess your own progress. You will have the belief that there is someone who is directing you on the right path. You just have to follow what he asks you to do. Trust me. He will not judge you on the basis of your previous scores. All that matters to him is your efforts.

Saad's advice is always very sound. He emphasizes developing a strong foundation. This allows the test-taker to develop the necessary stamina and practice needed for higher scores. Saad's advice regarding knowing question structure is very important as well. The question structure is usually taken for granted but if you know it well then you can really time yourself quite well in doing the exam.

Saad's mocks are good and mimic the questions on the GRE.

Saad has always been someone who excels at cracking difficult systems and finds uniquely effective ways to come out on top, especially in the field of academics. With about two days left for my test, Saad and I spent some time on a call for final tips before the exam which were very very useful. Saad also took me through the essay tips, on which I didn't practice at all due to time constraints, but just went through some good examples. In general, one consistent challenge was managing time, so Saad shared a custom timing strategy which was very very useful.

Make sure you discuss your exam date with Saad and choose it! And keeping sending him your mock scores, he will help you! Believe me!! Throughout my preparation, Saad played a significant role in my success. His encouragement kept me going, especially when I was stuck at a verbal score of 156 in all my mocks. His belief in my ability to score above 320 was a major motivation, even when my practice scores hovered around 317-320. Saad's mocks were very good and closely aligned with the actual test.
