What do you really get for your tuition at MAC Testing?

Among the amazing benefits of MAC are:

In-depth professional assessment of you as a student and as an individual. (This mandatory evaluation costs only $249.00. It would cost well over a thousand dollars, if done independently by a trained professional at MAC or elsewhere.)

FREE snacks and drinks--and cable TV in a nurturing, stress-free, safe and fun home-like learning environment. We even have showers if you are coming from practice, returning to school for a special program, and the like and need to clean up and change your clothing. There are also two terrific student lounges for your comfort and use.

Highly competent, culturally diverse staff, each of whom is passionate about his/her discipline and about teaching you.

A complete listing of every college in the country that has whatever it is you want as your major--no matter how many potential majors you select--and in-house college and career counseling based on the findings of the above personal assessment. (The Senior Writing Workshops--Cycle A, B and C do this in depth. There is a separate fee for these professional services.)

You can start at any time you wish and progress at your own pace. Finish whenever you have the scores you need to gain admission into the colleges you should reasonably be expected to gain entrance into and be accepted in the major(s) of your choice.
