The company offers courses world-wide through company-owned and third-party franchises. Countries with Princeton Review franchises include China, India, Israel, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Singapore, Syria, Thailand, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates.[4]

The Princeton Review offers both private tutoring and classroom courses. SAT courses guarantee an improvement in scores.[5]

The Princeton Review differs from other major test-prep companies mainly in the quality of service provided. TPR instructors are vigorously trained, and experts within their given areas. They are also personal, interactive, and fun teachers. This attitude stems from the philosophy that a student in a test preparation course is looking for something different - a new way to learn. Interactive, fun, informative lectures are Princeton Review's remedy for this, and many students see the results not only in their scores, but in their state of mind concerning the test.

College admissions

The Princeton Review Bookstore[6] publishes various guides to colleges, including The Best 366 Colleges, the Complete Book of Colleges, and the Parents' Guide to College Life. It also publishes test preparation books for various exams.

The Princeton Review website provides free advice and tools for college admissions.[7] It also provides the rankings from The Best 366 Colleges, including "Top 20" lists in categories such as "Professors Get High Marks", "Happiest Students", and "Dorms Like Dungeons".[8]

The admissions division also offers services to high school guidance departments[9] and colleges[10].

K–12

The Princeton Review's K–12 and Admissions Services division provides assessment, intervention and professional development programs to school districts.[11]
