“Woohoo! My son from the winter program at IIT was just accepted to Payton!”
“I just wanted to reach out to you and say – Thank you! Enrolling my daughter in SelectivePrep was one of the smartest moves I made in terms of my daughter’s academics. She felt comfortable since she thought the test was “easy” compared to the SelectivePrep material.”
“I am happy to report that our son was accepted into a number of schools including Payton and Lincoln Park IB. Thanks to you and your staff I now have two kids attending Payton. No doubt you will be seeing my youngest son soon.”
“You guys helped get my son a perfect 300 on the test.”
“We received our acceptance letter from Northside College Prep from CPS yesterday. We are very grateful to you folks over at SelectivePrep. I have no doubt that your prep class gave her the edge by daughter needed. She had 897 out of 900 points and scores of 97, 95, and 99 on three of the sections. This would have been impossible without your prep class. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and I still have two more kids to send your way in a few years.”
“I e-mailed you last year when my son’s ISAT scores were in – his best ever and I know it was because of your program. Today I am happy to report back with news of his acceptance to Lane Tech. I had attended Lane back in the 80’s and wanted him to get the same high school experience. THANK YOU!”

How’s that for a testimonial? We are thrilled.”
“My daughter got into Whitney Young and Lincoln Park IB. Here scores for the Selective Enrollment Test were Language 89, Math 99, Reading 97, and Vocabulary 97 for a core of 99 which gave her 300 out of 300 points.
