Why we publish our teachers' test scores

When choosing a test-prep class, parents usually ask how long the teacher has taught. That question is easy to answer and hard to verify.

There is another question, harder to answer but immediately verifiable: what did they score?

Why a score says more than years

Someone who has sat the exam knows things textbooks do not carry: clock pressure in the final section, the feeling of meeting a question you are unsure of and having to decide whether to skip or push, how the traps are built.

Someone who has only read the material can teach the right answer, but struggles to explain why a wrong option is attractive — and that is the part students need.

The thresholds Clever Academy applies

For GMAT: 700 or above on the previous scale, or 655+ on the Focus Edition, with an original score report we can verify.

For GRE: a total of 320, or Quant 165 / Verbal 155.

These are mandatory and cannot be substituted with experience. Someone who has taught for ten years but never sat the exam still does not meet the bar.

And the hiring standard matches the published one

What matters is not the number but that the standard on the careers page is identical to the standard published for students. No lowering it to hire, no raising it to advertise.

When applying, a file without a score report is not considered — a condition, not a suggestion.

What this changes for learners

You are entitled to ask. If a center cannot answer what its teacher scored, that is information.
