Sometimes the “free” diagnostic tests at the prep classes yield interestingly low scores. This gives a lot of room for their course to “improve” you. The diagnostic test they give at the END of the course (before your official test) yields a surprisingly high score. The “real” test score is often lower than the course final diagnostic. Go figure… Just something to keep in mind. This happened with the prep service D’s private hs used a number of years ago. They got fired after one year. It was pretty transparent.

Not that 29 is low, by any means. Just something to keep in mind. Scores tend to improve (not always, but often) as the student gets experience with the test and develops critical reasoning skills.
