Welcome Lamar 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 increase their emotional intelligence through data-driven, research-based assessments and our years of experience in applying them.
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 these Lamar parents instead:
Margo
We couldn’t be more grateful for the guidance Trey provided our son. He now sees the opportunities available for students less interested in attending a 4-year college. Trey helped him see what he’s wired for by assessing his strengths and needs.
Graham
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!
Meagan
Having the personalized time with Trey to review the results gave my daughter the confidence to choose the right path in the college process. I highly recommend students taking the Birkman before college! This was a fantastic experience for our family!
Chris
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!
Melissa
My son already had a good idea of a college major and career path he wanted to follow. We are glad we decided to do Trey’s program anyways. The results of the assessment gave us confidence that our son was on the right track!
Rob
Our family strongly recommends Trey and his program. His commitment to finding the strengths of young people and giving them confidence and direction based on those strengths is a gift. His charisma is infectious!

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.
