never heard of them but I can pretty much gurantee they are NOT associated with excelsior, they are not a school, they are a test prep center, they probably sell you study guides and practice exams, like one of those places that get you ready to take the GRE or GMAT

you are better off studying on your own, looking at excelsior's own study guides and taking excelsior's own practice exams

and although the forums are sporifice, excelsior does have a forum where people discuss exams and preparation

Test Preparation and Tutorial Services

There are tutorial firms, test preparation services, and for-profit publishing companies that sell materials with the claim that their materials will help students prepare for and pass Excelsior College Examinations. The College is not affiliated with any test preparation company and does not endorse the products or services of any test preparation organization.

However, because there are companies that sell test preparation products and services, we felt it in our students’ best interest to develop operating standards, a set of Best Practices for Test Preparation Providers, which we believe these companies should voluntarily follow. We have done this to give our students a measure of confidence that the test preparation company with which they are dealing has a record of engaging in ethical business and financial practices with its clients.

Using the services of a test preparation provider is up to individual students and whether or not they believe they need these services. We do not review the materials any company produces for content. Test preparation providers that agree to follow our Best Practices, though, are expected to use the learning resources that are required and/or recommended by our faculty in the development of the study materials that they produce.

Before you spend hundreds, even thousands of dollars for the products and services of a test preparation provider, check to see if the company has voluntarily agreed in writing to follow our Best Practices for Test Preparation Providers.

The best way is to call the College and ask us (find our contact information below). Another way is to see if the company displays on its Web site and in its publications a graphic that is a rectangular box that has the College’s trademarked logo with the words “Best Practices” appearing below it. Only test preparation providers that have agreed to follow our Best Practices are authorized to display this symbol.
