Welcome CHA Parents

We here at NexTest help high school and college students gain a competitive advantage in the real world. We do this by helping them discover their unique professional wirings at an early age through data-driven assessments.

We’ve worked with hundreds of students and parents and spent years building an effective program that can help you and your son or daughter know what’s next.

But, don’t just take our word for it. Hear from parents we’ve worked with instead:

I‘m thrilled to share how exceptional it was for my daughters to work with Trey. He helped them discover their interests and identify career paths that align with their strengths. Trey’s program made a significant impact on their decision-making process!

The Birkman could not have pinged my daughter any better. We feel really good about the major she’s chosen, which Trey’s program helped provide needed confirmation on. I’ve told so many people about the Birkman!

My son was extremely skeptical to work with Trey. He felt “a personality test arn’t isn’t going to tell me anything accurate about myself”. We were blown away after he met with Trey because not only did he enjoy the process, he actually find a major he was passionate about.

When my daughter started working with Trey as a Senior in high school, she was thinking something more in the medical field. Currently, she’s majoring in accounting- which Trey’s program helped her decide on. Not only is she genuinely enjoying it, she’s great at it. Can’t recommend Trey enough!

The experience helped my daughter’s confidence and direction. She realized career possibilities that she did not know existed. She left feeling motivated, confident, and hopeful.

Trey helped to identify my son, Clark’s, interests. Clark is now focused on college majors that fit him. We will definitely have Trey work with our daughter Mallory this year so she can gain that same advantage as she moves through her junior year into her senior year.

The program costs $325. ONE CLASS at MSU, Ole Miss, or Southern is over $1,000!
Payment is due after the program is completed by your student. We accept payments online, by Venmo, or by check.
Good. You should be skeptical of personality tests or any assessment that claims to be a "crystal ball" for life direction. Though we believe our program is a powerful tool, it isn't what provides meaning to work. It's simply a starting point for us to help your son or daughter find work they will love and excel in.
We still STRONGLY encourage students to participate. Our expertise is learning what new jobs are available and best suited to needs. So, even if your senior knows what field they are interested in, working with us will help solidify their plan, as well as learn new opportunities in their chosen field.
Once the group sessions are completed, we will have details on how to continue working with us if needed.

More About The 3 Steps:

Step 1- Gather Data

The first step is gathering quality data. We use the Birkman Method to accomplish this- the gold standard in “personality” assessments. It is the ONLY assessment on the market measuring a person’s underlying needs and expectations. It is completed online and takes roughly 40 minutes. Watch the video to learn more.

Step 2- Explain The Data

For the process to help students, there must be buy-in. For the process to help parents, there must be understanding of assessment results. That happens during small group sessions. We meet with students for 50 minutes (a class period) in groups no larger than 10 THEN meet with parents in similar group sizes at separate times for roughly 75 minutes.

Step 3- Interpret The Data

This program is only valuable if students and parents know how to take a next step. Every student will receive tailored college, major, and job matches. If a student doesn’t want to go to college, specific job and next step matches will be provided as well.
