Ten years ago, TestWell was founded in Boston, Massachusetts. After paving the way to college and graduate school for countless students in New England, Testwell opened its New York offices in 2006. From the start, the company has dedicated itself to the highest ethical and professional standards as well as a firm commitment to providing the best possible value to all of our students regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds. The company selects teachers using the some of the most stringent criteria in the nation (if the teacher has not scored in the top 1% on a REAL exam or does not have significant prior teaching experience, you will not find him/her in a TestWell classroom). If you are unable to afford one of our classes or programs, TestWell’s Sliding Scale Tuition Plan will ensure that you nevertheless have the opportunity to prepare with our professionals.

Since our techniques have obtained successful results for nearly every student we have taught, we are happy to offer you a 100% Tuition Money-Back Guarantee. If you attend all of our classes, hand in your homework, take the required number of PracTests (our teacher-guided practice exams), and still don’t go up on exam day, we will refund your money (all you pay for is materials). It really is as easy as that!
