TestCrackers in Chicago

TestCrackers has been the best way for Chicagoans to study for graduate entrance exams for nearly a decade, but our connections go much, much deeper. TestCrackers co-founder Seth's great-grandparents immigrated to the US through Chicago from what is now Ukraine over 100 years ago, and ran a small grocery store on the South Side. He moved to Rogers Park while going to business school at Kellogg School of Management; for the summer he interned downtown at the Chicago Community Loan Fund and walked to the lake every chance he got. And TestCrackers co-founder Yuri lived in Evanston for 2 years while his partner was in the PhD program at Northwestern. He worked at a poverty law center and the Medill Innocence Project while there.

We've helped countless students score well on the GRE and GMAT and go on to graduate programs across Chicagoland (University of Chicago / Booth, Northwestern / Kellogg, DePaul, Loyola, UIC) — give us a call to get free advice on your best study options and see whether we're a good fit for you.
