I came to Khushboo scoring around 1200 and honestly feeling like I had hit a wall. I had been preparing on my own for months but couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Math was the biggest problem. I understood the concepts in theory but kept making mistakes on the actual test and couldn't work out why.
From the first session, she didn't just give me more practice problems. She sat with me and worked through how I was thinking about questions, and that's where it clicked. The issue wasn't that I didn't know the material. It was how I was approaching problems under time pressure. We worked on that specifically, and slowly the errors started making sense instead of just feeling random.
What I didn't expect was how much calmer I felt going into the exam. Preparation had always felt stressful before, but by the end I actually felt ready. I scored 1550, which genuinely didn't feel possible when I started. More than the number, I finally felt like I understood what I was doing and why.
If you're stuck around that 1200 mark and putting in effort without seeing results, I'd say just try one session. It's a different experience from typical tutoring.
