Be Wary of Sterling Prep

Hey guys, I just wanted to point out @Sterling Test Prep has many fake reviews on Amazon. If you check out the history of reviewers, you'll see reviewers only reviewed Sterling products as 5 stars. Besides this, many reviewers have reviews that have the same headline, or the same clichéd glowing reviews about the material being good and informative. As well this, many of the reviewers cover up their review history bias by reviewing other products to avoid suspicion, and giving these other items cliché reviews on the same day as they reviewed Sterling books, and then never reviewing anything ever again.
I was going to buy books from them, but I can't trust such a company. Be wary of other companies that do this by checking out the review history of the people who reviewed the product, and check how long these actual "reviewers" have been reviewing Amazon products. I've even posted on Amazon to warn others browsing Sterling products. They may be good review for the 2015MCAT, but a company doing such a thing can not be trusted with your hard earned money.

was just noting this yesterday. Despite the fake reviews, the material might not be bad, but unfortunately, I'll never find out. It's sad-- surely Sterling isn't the only company padding their reviews, but with not real reviews to cushion the blow, the deceptive tactic seems far more alarming.

We are sorry to hear how you feel about the reviews to our books on Amazon, but we can’t control what customers write on Amazon and which products they review. Amazon has a high integrity system for this and we cannot influence what people write or contact buyers directly.

Most of our Amazon reviews come from verified buyers who formed their opinion based on working with their book. That being said, we receive even more positive reviews by email than what customers post on Amazon. We work very hard to provide the best content that is relevant and helpful for test takers. We respond to all customers’ inquiries and are happy to answer any questions. Our products have evolved over the years because we listen to our readers’ suggestions on how the products can assist them in preparing for this important test.

We have been very successful with our MCAT products and our reviews (both on Amazon and directly to us) are a testament to it.

We wish you the best in your test preparation and your future career.
