Test Prep Palooza is our unique, one-day test prep "bootcamp". The program includes a full practice test, review of test questions, and instruction for key test strategies and skills. Students will also be provided with a pizza lunch. After the program, parents and students will have access to a detailed practice exam analysis, which will include a full breakdown of their student's strengths and weaknesses in our online testing platform.

We offer two different High School Entrance Exam Palooza Workshops and they are listed chronologically.

Students must bring a device (computer, Chromebook, iPad) to complete the practice test.

  • "This test prep course prepared my student well enough, not just with the material, but with the testing tips that help her with her testing anxiety. She was accepted to her top choices for both public and private school. Highly recommend this course."

    - Yessenia M.

  • "Our son improved tremendously from his first diagnostic with Test Prep Chicago to his ultimate score of 99% on the actual CPS High School Admissions Test. We are so happy and relieved. Thank you so much for all your testing insight and guidance. It proved priceless."

  • "TPC has really helped me with both the high school entrance exam and the ISEE. I scored a perfect score on the CPS exam and was offered to Walter Payton College Prep as well as Lincoln Park IB/ double honors. They did a great job of covering all topics on the exam. Thank you so much — I highly recommend this program."
