Bara Sapir and Test Prep are best at what they do-she truly understands the emotional process of what a student goes through and tailors the right program for each specific student.
Brad Grossman, Founder and CEO , ZEITGUIDE

For 25 years I have been watching hundreds of good candidates flunk the GMAT, coming to the conclusion that their psychological mindset plays as important a role as their knowledge about the test. My reaction when I first saw this book was: Finally someone is tackling the real problem!

Ricardo Betti, President, MBA Empresarial

Full Potential GMAT Sentence correction offers a great combination that will benefit any aspiring MBA student. It’s an excellent technical guide coupled with innovative ideas and concepts to improve one’s mental preparation for test taking.

Yael Redelman-Sidi, President, Admit1MBA

Katie Malachuk, Harvard BA, Stanford MBA, Author, Earn It: A Stress-Free and Proven Approach to Getting Into Top MBA Programs

Bara Sapir and the City Test Prep team are a singular resource. No other test prep service comes close to TPNY’s success and client satisfaction. In over a decade of advising MBA applicants, my clients have-across the board- raved about TPNY’s services, philosophy and staff. More importantly, the clients I share with TPNY have the test numbers to prove their effectiveness. No doubt, Full Potential GMAT Sentence Correction Intensive will be another arrow in TPNY’s unique quiver of teaching resources.

Mark Meyerrose, President, Meyerrose Consulting

I had never realized my full potential. I always scored lower on actual exams than on practice exams. Then, after working with Test Prep New York and the Full Potential® program, I was able to gain the confidence, focus, and skill sets to increase my score. I was able to walk into the exam relaxed, focused, and confident!

Andrew, TPNY Student, New York Stock Exchange, Emory

City Test Prep approaches test prep in an innovative and integrative way, and goes above and beyond the traditional ideas of what constitutes success. They teach students study habits that include mind/body approaches for affect regulation, retention, and focusing strategies that take into account individual learning strategies as well as limiting core beliefs. Students will never think of tests and theirs abilities in the same way

Melissa Tiers, DHC, Founder/CEO, Center for Integrative Hypnosis

Content mastery is necessary, but not sufficient to get a top score on the GMAT. Our research suggests that as much as 1/3 of your score is determined by your ability to manage the test stress that everyone experiences. Test Prep NY is the only program I know of which combines solid content with a truly useful approach to the mental preparation required to excel on the test.

Miro Kazakoff, Co-Founder, Testive and The MBA Show

Bara Sapir’s innovative, holistic approach to test prep teaches us that academic excellence can come
easily and effortlessly when we choose to integrate self-care and calming messaging into our daily routine.

That the folks at Test Prep New York could create yet another impressive study aid is a terrific achievement. And despite their sane refusal to set the whole thing to music this time (you have to get their Full Potential Audio GMAT to get some serious tunes), I’m a huge fan of not only the content, but the approach.
Michael Moshan, Rock the SAT

The Test Prep industry is cluttered with plenty of players, but Test Prep NY is the first program to address the issue of anxiety and stress, and how they can impact a score. I was thrilled to learn of their services and have directed many satisfied clients their way. Their holistic approach has been a terrific resource for those who need it, and their new book is yet another terrific way to share their revolutionary techniques.

Stacy Blackman, President/CEO, Stacy Blackman Consulting, Inc.

After studying with larger test prep programs and taking the GMAT three times with continually disappointing results, I contacted TPNY. After only 4 hours of the Full Potential® program I gained confidence, learned to channel my energy and mental state into a positive zone, eliminated anxiety, and was completely relaxed and prepared on test day. Most important, my score increased by 80 points. I highly recommend City Test Prep’s Full Potential® program to anyone who really wants to reach their potential and get the score they need.

Leila Pirnia, Founder, MBA Podcaster
Bara Sapir’s/CTP’s progressive test preparation technique is good for test-takers who want an edge when taking the test, as well as test-takers who require extra assistance. The model is effective because it teaches mediation of cognitive, academic, attention, and emotional control. This book contains the necessary ingredients to succeed on the GMAT-it skillfully teaches the essential components of test taking through a clever blend of aggressiveness, logic, and relaxation. After practicing the techniques herein, the trepidation test taker can expect to enter testing arenas with a greater confidence to achieve that may have alluded them in the past.
Dr. Jason Smith, School and Clinical Psychologist

After thirty-one years in the secondary classroom, watching the anxiety and stress levels faced by test takers, I was incredibly impressed by the fantastic program that CTP has put together. I was utterly amazed at the talent, precision, intelligence, and brilliance of TPNY’s Full PotentialR program and only wished for the opportunity to bring it into my former classroom. It is an asset and a motivational tool for teachers, hypnotists, students, and anyone else. The perfect blend of all of Sapir’s education and the product’s professionalism make this an intriguing program that deserves a closer look from anyone wishing to improve test-taking results. I’m almost jealous of those still taking tests who have the chance to use this unique and fascinating method to relieve stress and anxiety.
