Achieve Test Prep

Nursing Students Excelsior

Updated:   Published

I signed on with Achieve Test Prep yesterday and I am excited. The local schools in my area want $50.000 for an ASN degree. I can accomplish this for about $20,000 through ATP and Excelsior combined. Their classes meet one day a week for three hours and they also have it set up so that the same instructor also teaches a live webinar at the same time for the virtual students that can't sit in a classroom. I even have a school right here in my home town if I want to sit in on a class you have that option. They took all of my prereqs. The only ones that have a time limit of five years is A/P and Micro. I have those two and 8 nursing classes. They also have TEAS 5 week prep classes and a clinical prep course that is 6 weeks long. For their testing and course assistance I will be paying $301.00 a month for 48 months. You also have to at some point after prereqs have to sign up with Excelsior for additional fees. It seems like a lot of money but it is no where near 50 grand. I start after the $725.00 enrollment fees have been paid. Wish me luck and I will keep everyone posted. I should be done in about 15 or 16 months.

I'm thinking about getting my prerequisites through Achieve. Has anyone ever gone through them and if so, what was your experience?

You will not get your prerequisites through Achieve. It is a test prep program. That is all. It does not give you college credits.  Look up all the comments on here by typing in "Achieve". That video they show on their sites is totally 'puff'  on what they actually provide. They will not cut your course/clinical time. They are a study guide service. And you sign a contract to pay and pay, even if you decide to go somewhere else. That video even lists a school that was shut down " Brown Mackie".
