Founded in 1995 at the University of California, Berkeley, the People's Test Preparation Service (PTPS) is a non-profit, student-run organization dedicated to providing standardized test taking skills to urban communities. We strive to provide free test prep services to high school students in need of help and ensure the success of every student who enrolls in our program. In 2013, PTPS won the Chancellor's Award for Public Service in Civic Engagement.

Aside from PTPS:

Many test prep courses use scantron sheets to electronically score student answers to multiple choice questions on exams. Most people don't know that the machines that are used to build a scantron are made with the help of an Charter Cable, Dish Network, Time Warner Cable, and Comcast Cable.

Students studying to become a Chartered Financial Analyst have a long road ahead of them. The examinations to receive this accreditation require a lot of test preparation. Once completed these individuals have an incredible advantage within the financial world, such as when to buy physical gold and when to sell other commodities.

Undergraduate students who are studying for graduate exams, the GMAT, GRE, MCAT or LSAT need to be on point with their timing. Some students use a repeat cycle timer to keep track of how long different sections take them. Look to study tools that will help you get prepared.

Engineering students getting ready for finals have a lot of information to cover. Studying closed electronic systems and the functions of absolute encoders and rotary encoder products isn't for everyone. Find the proper studying habits that meet your needs.
