New York, NYOctober 5, 2015Achieve Test Prep, a leading provider of standardized test preparation courses, recently expanded its offerings to support all college students. Up until now, the organization had focused on credit-by-exam bridge programs for students pursuing nursing degrees. Today, Achieve Test Prep is paving the path to faster college completion for every student no matter which college, university, or academic major they choose. Achieve Test Prep is even poised to help students who are already enrolled at their school of choice.
College is unnecessarily expensive," says Mark Olynyk, CEO of Achieve Test Prep. Today's students nontraditional students, in particularare paying for campus amenities and services that in no way contribute to their success. It's our view that if you're capable of learning course content in a matter of weeks versus months, you should be able to forego semester-length courses... and forego their price tags, too."
Foregoing courses means [testing out"](http://www.achievetestprep.com/college/testing-out-of-college-clep-credits-or-competency-based-degrees)of general education classes like College Composition or Introductory Psychology. Using the ATP model, the average student can eliminate seven or more of these courses from his or her degree requirements, while saving roughly 50 percent on tuition fees, plus paying no cost for books. Hundreds of electives in art, science, math, history, literature, philosophy, etc. can be completed via standardized examsincluding CLEP, UExcel, and DSST examswhich have been around for decades.
This model is not a new approach or a passing fad," emphasizes Olynyk. U.S. colleges have been quietly accepting standardized exam credits for years. At Achieve Test Prep, we're simply adding an extra layer of support to the processboth by helping students learn the exam material, and by preparing them to succeed at the standardized exam format."
Based on the results of Achieve Test Prep's longstanding bridge programs, most of its students do, in fact, succeed. The test prep organizationnot to be confused with any academic institution; Achieve Test Prep itself is not a collegeboasts a 93 percent exam pass rate. Students who don't pass on their first attempt can receive supplemental test preparation at no charge. And with classes available online or on campus (across dozens of states), all taught by live instructors in real-time settings, Achieve Test Prep's combination of support and flexibility surpasses even the online college experience.
Our students know exactly where they want to take their careers," explains Olynyk, but the thought of having to write term papers or learn algebra all over again is pretty daunting. We believe these gen ed requirements and all the busy work they entailgroup projects, research papers, quizzes and homeworkshouldn't hold people back from the professional advancement they really care about."
To promote this message, Achieve Test Prep has launched a new website, and has begun educating students about different colleges and their transfer credit policies. Achieve Test Prep also works with individual students to determine if they have any preexisting credits that may be transferable.
