Partners for Achievement provided services to me throughout my college process that were essential to my success in searching for a college. They provided organization and guidance, which made the stressful and chaotic college process less daunting. PFA went above and beyond and taught me the professionalism and skills that I will use after my college experience as well. I’m extremely happy with my choice and the path that I am on, and especially thankful for PFA getting me here.

Our daughter was in the top of her class with a bright future academically. My husband and I, having no experience and very little knowledge in the college selection process, wanted to make sure she had the best guidance possible. We were extremely grateful for the expertise the PFA team provided. Utilizing their services alleviated a lot of stressful conversations with our daughter about deadlines and keeping on task. The skill set she acquired during the process from interviewing skills to professional prep will be key in the years to come. Kevin Krebs was always available to answer everything from simple things to complicated personal financial questions. Their program was worth every penny spent!

Our high school did not prepare us for the college search process. The team at PFA was phenomenal in mapping out the details and helping our son stay on track to meet key deadlines with everything from ACT prep, to applications and essays. They also provided us with a list of engineering schools that met our budget. Although our son received offers from 9 schools, PFA’s team helped him understand the cost of each school and he ultimately decided to start at a community college. Partnering with PFA was a great decision!

I was getting at least a few questions wrong per section every single time, and it was difficult for me to pinpoint why. Method Test Prep helped me go from a 33 on my first practice test to a 36 because it took apart each of the sections of the ACT piece by piece, found the most commonly missed types of questions, and then presented practice drills for those.

I liked the amount of practice that MTP gave me, with new types of questions and drills every week. I did MTP over the summer, where I came in every Saturday morning for 2 hours and went through the lessons. The regularity and routine that PFA provided me helped me really focus on the lessons and set my mind to doing well. I also liked how MTP had one drill per ACT subject every week, so I was improving in all 4 areas constantly, rather than fixating on one at a time, which is what I would’ve done without the program. It’s really great that PFA provides a service that seems to have an endless wealth of practice problems, as I believe that made all the difference in the end. I got so much prep from MTP that I didn’t feel the need to use anything else to study. MTP helped me review all the types of questions I would see and then gave me more problems to practice than I could ever need. I took the ACT for real a week after finishing the MTP course, and I can honestly say that the test itself was not that difficult because of all the prep I had.
