My experience with Achieve has been nothing like a study group; they have given me the motivation and resources I need to pass the Excelsior exams. Achieve has actual classes that focus on breaking down the material in a way that makes it easier to understand. Nowhere else have I found the detailed information and professional instructors that they have at Achieve Test Prep. Not only do they provide me with the information needed to pass the test, but they help me to understand the material. I would never be able to do this on my own. If I did choose to study in a group, Achieve has made it possible for me to meet other students that I can study with if I need to. So far, this has not been necessary as I find that the instructors and materials are all I need to pass the tests.
