The Princeton Review Names Linda Whitlock to Board of Directors

FRAMINGHAM, Mass., April 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Princeton Review,
Inc. (Nasdaq: REVU), a leading provider of test preparation and educational
support services, today announced the appointment of Linda Whitlock, former
Chief Executive Officer of Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston, to the Company's
Board of Directors.

Ms. Whitlock, 61, was credited with bringing inspired leadership to Boys &
Girls Clubs of Boston for over a decade, driving the development of
high-impact programs enabling children and teenagers from low-income
neighborhoods to become responsible citizens and leaders. She has been an
active participant on several corporate and non-profit boards, and currently
serves on the board of directors of such organizations as Brigham and Women's
Hospital, Brandeis University, the Boston Museum, and Boston After School &
Beyond.

Ms. Whitlock replaces Clyde Williams, who has resigned from the Board to
devote full attention to his new position as Political Director of the
Democratic National Committee in Washington, DC. The company also announced
the resignation of Richard Sarnoff, a dedicated Board member since 1998, who
determined that this was appropriate given his other commitments. With these
changes, the company's Board will now comprise seven members.

Earlier in her career, Ms. Whitlock served in the administrations of
Massachusetts Governors Michael Dukakis and Edward King, and more recently was
appointed by former Governor Mitt Romney and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino to
serve on several special commissions and task forces. Ms. Whitlock has taught
at MIT, Tufts University, and the University of Michigan, and is a frequent
lecturer on topics related to strategic leadership, effective governance,
youth development, and philanthropic initiatives.

"We are tremendously privileged to have a person of Linda's stature join our
Board of Directors. Our organization will benefit from her judgment,
experience and insights gained over a career dedicated to education and
programs for young people," said Michael Perik, President and Chief Executive
Officer of The Princeton Review. "We thank Richard Sarnoff for over 10 years
of valuable counsel. We are sorry Clyde Williams is departing early in his
tenure as a director and we wish him all the best in his new position."
