Prepskills provided our graduating students with the confidence and the tools to successfully complete the SSAT’s. Each of our students and their families received helpful information regarding the various aspects of applying to other private schools. The staff at Prepskills was always available to answer any questions that arouse during the testing and application time. We were very impressed with Prepskills, they are very professional, nurturing and really care about each individual child.

Our daughter took the PREPSKILLS® Extended Program that begins in May. We were very pleased with the program and the teacher. When our daughter was accepted to UTS we knew we had definitely made the right decision to prepare her. Now she has qualified for a scholarship opportunity at UTS for achieving such high marks on her entrance tests. Thank you PREPSKILLS!

| PREPSKILLS® did a tremendous work with our son who was accepted at all three of his top choice schools. PREPSKILLS® is very knowledgeable about the SSAT Examination and the admission process. The teachers were great, and we especially enjoyed the Interview Workshop where our son learned a great deal and was well prepared when the interview dates came. We have recommended our cousins and look forward to taking SAT Exam Preparation when the time comes – in 2012!

Although our children didn’t apply to private school, the PREPSKILLS® program was a terrific benchmark for how they are doing in school. Their essay writing and reading comprehension have improved greatly – even the teachers have noticed at school! We will refer PREPSKILLS® to our friends.

| My two sons have taken both the PREPSKILLS® SAT prep course and the SSAT prep course. I can't imagine anyone seriously interested in the academic well being of their kids not taking advantage of PREPSKILLS' extraordinary services. The results have been most impressive, and the cost well worth the investment in my children's future!

| 2006-07 Admission Highlights |
My son did the SSAT program on the Internet using the EPREPSKILLS real time on line tutoring. We are very very satisfied with this result. We really really appreciate what you did for him. We think we are very lucky to get help from you. He was also very well prepared for the interview. You did a great job preparing him for all possible questions, especially since he has only been in Canada for a little over a year. He received the 95th
percentile overall on his official SSAT!
He has been accepted by St.George School in Vancouver! My son was very excited when I told him this news. Thanks again! I don't think we could have made it without your help! Three thousand thanks to you!!!

Our son has been given an offer to their Grade 7 programme by both UTS and the Toronto French School. He has also passed the IQ test for the Gifted Programme in Toronto Public Schools. We have decided to go to UTS for the best possible secondary education he can get.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank PREPSKILLS for the excellent work in helping him get there. Your writing programme did make a significant difference. We have already mentioned PREPSKILLS to several of our colleagues at work.

| You called to ask which schools accepted FF - ALL THREE, UCC, Del and St Michael's. We have narrowed our choice to UCC or Del.

| My son has been accepted to the school of his choice, St. Michael’s College School. As a matter of fact he was accepted to all 3 schools that he applied for. As a parent I found that not only did PREPSKILLS assist him in doing well on the SSAT Exam but it gave him great confidence during the school interviews. I have also noticed an overall improvement in everything from his essay writing to his general school assignments. Thank you and once again we have no problem in recommending PREPSKILLS to any child looking to improve themselves.

THE SPIRIT OF PREPSKILLS®
You are truly wonderful! I started the SSAT process late and you were very helpful, kind and supportive. Thanks for being so accessible and answering my questions promptly, accurately and efficiently. The teacher was excellent. We were offered admission at De La Salle, Havergal, and BSS. Now the challenge is choosing which one! From one mom to another - I want to thank you for all your encouragement and advice, regardless of the outcome! Great quality people at PREPSKILLS®.

Why Choose PREPSKILLS®
"I chose PREPSKILLS® because I felt the individual/small group instruction and coaching would help our son focus better, learn the material more thoroughly and leverage his preparation for the examination. Scott's confidence in himself and his ability to complete the test well increased noticeably. He enjoyed learning the specific strategies for approaching the SSAT test and we know he will employ a more strategic approach to test writing skills in the future."

UTS (University of Toronto Schools) Standards of Excellence
"What can I say - my wife and I are very pleased at the SSAT test results - 99th percentile! A special thanks to my son's teacher, for his effective and skilled instruction. We think your course made a very tangible difference in the outcome. When we compared the actual SSAT results with my son's scores on your diagnostic test, (written just ten weeks before) we could see the improvement... about a 75 total scaled points increase! For UTS Lower level testing, he exceeded the cut-off scaled score for boys by 24 points and placed in the top ten boys accepted!"

They said that the teacher was very nice and the lessons very thorough and fun. They also enjoyed being with others focused on the same task. The children have truly benefited from the knowledge they have attained."

No Price Too High to Give Kids an Edge
"Congratulations on being featured in the National Post article "Taking them Private", November 25, 2002. Competition for entrance to private school is very intense. The skills and strategies that Alex learned were extremely useful and transferable across all disciplines. The SSAT simulation at the end of the course helped him build confidence and gain a better understanding of HOW to take the test. The money was very well spent! Thank you!"

Helping Parents to Level the Playing Field
"Thank you for giving me accurate information and clarifying the overall preparing and applying process. I was told that my daughter could write the SSAT as many times as she wanted and the highest score would count - this of course is not the case for students writing in Ontario! Thanks for providing a level playing field by giving me accurate information."

Ontario Certified Teachers Make the Difference
"The teacher was highly knowledgeable in the subject matter, as well as the test taking strategies. She was available on an as-needed basis for individual help before and after class. I was most impressed with her ability to relate to my child and the friendly environment she created. We were extremely pleased with our interaction with PREPSKILLS INC. and the staff."

Preparation for ANY Middle-High School Admission Test
"Several Ontario private schools do not use the SSAT for entrance, but use a similar exam prepared by the school. Although my child was not writing the SSAT examination, I chose to have him join the PREPSKILLS® course. The emphasis on test-taking strategies proved to be extremely beneficial. Thank you for providing superb test preparation for my child who has been accepted into the school of his choice!"
