PrepMe

PrepMe is an online test prep company out of the University of Chicago’s business incubator. PrepMe has developed an online test prep platform using an adaptive algorithm to customize the preparation course for each student. More than just testing tips and tricks, PrepMe provides extensive learning materials to help improve students overall reading, writing, and math skills. Tied into the online test preparation is PrepMe’s one-on-one online tutoring network.

By bringing test prep and coaching online the company hopes to be able to reduce the cost and thus increase the availability of test prep services to students.
