The Princeton Review advertises its MCAT preparation courses with the following copy: ​“Score a 515+ on the MCAT or add 15 points depending on your starting score. Guaranteed or your money back.” Blueprint Test Preparation filed a challenge before the NAD arguing that The Princeton Review must be able to substantiate that its students will score 515+ or add 15 points. The Princeton Review argued that it wasn’t making a performance claim – it was simply offering a money-back guarantee.
