The Brightlink Prep Story
In 2012, we brought the best talent in teaching to accomplish an ambitious goal: to bring together everything you need to prepare yourself for standardized exams. The idea struck after years of struggling to get students to score high on aptitude tests, while they balance demanding jobs, academics, and busy families. So we made it our mission to bring immersive teaching into student’s lives in a more accessible, affordable and efficient way.

What Our Students Say
I took the Brightlink Prep GMAT one to one session with Talha and was extremely happy with it. He really knew the GMAT and I was really surprised when Talha told me that he takes the actual GMAT exam 5 times a year – that really shows strong commitment.
Talha is a really, really good teacher. He knows what he’s doing, and he knows it inside out. He keeps himself involved and he always knows the latest news and materials available. I found his classes to be well-organized and extremely helpful. I never walked out of a single class confused.
I had a great experience with Brightlink Prep. I took classes with both Moeez and Talha. They are great teachers. Both of them have a very distinct teaching method where they focus on building concepts instead of just problem solving.
Brightlink Prep is no doubt the best institute for GRE preparation if you aim to achieve the best possible scores. Small class size and personal attention you get from Talha differentiate Brightlink from other institutes. I always advise the people I know to join one of Talha’s session to ace the test.

Does GRE Score Matter for US Visa?
Each year thousands of international students apply for U.S. student visas, and the vast majority of them are denied. Unsuccessful applicants are quick to speculate about a myriad of different reasons why their application got rejected. Never ever is your visa application rejected because of your low GRE scores.
There are several legitimate reasons whereby your student visa can get denied, but your GRE score is not one of them. Graduate schools use your GRE score to determine if you make a good candidate for their school or not. Outside of that, your GRE score is irrelevant to the visa process. However, before you can apply for a U.S. student visa, you need to prove that you have been admitted to a grad school. If your low GRE score prevents you from getting into grad school, then the visa process won’t even start.
How can ETS stop cheating on the GRE at Home?
I recently wrote an article proving how test-takers worldwide are cheating on their “GRE at Home” tests. It is quite disappointing how ETS’s home-based GRE service is so vulnerable to fraudulent activity. ETS first introduced the home-based test a year ago after the pandemic broke out, and there is no telling how many of the test results have been fraudulent so far.
It is equally alarming that there hasn’t been a more significant backlash by people regarding the rampant cheating, but that might be due to the lack of coverage on the issue. Anyway, it is no secret now that ETS’s “proctor U” software is obnoxiously easy to cheat. Since ETS plans on keeping the home-based test around for the foreseeable future, it is paramount that they fix the issues so that decent people who take the test legitimately don’t get affected.
