Achieve Test Prep Reviews in Virginia

“I tried traditional colleges and test preparation companies where you study on your own, but none of that worked. I started with Achieve in September and by November I had finished two of my prerequisites! With Achieve, I have a dedicated advisor. I have online classes on the days I want, and I have live instruction from teachers. I can see finishing my degree with Achieve. I’m able to follow the plan, and I know that I can reach my goal. I waited 30 years to get my RN, and I finally am realizing it.”
