Welcome Pillow 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 Pillow parents instead:

Mary Lauren

We had three daughters, two in high school and one starting college, that worked with Trey. They were not sure what direction they wanted to go for their college. His program really helped point them in the right direction!

Andrea

I 100% recommend this program. The information we got out of the testing was so eye opening and helpful in planning for the future. Trey was so easy to work with. He pushed my son and encouraged him all along the way.

Virginia

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.

O’Briens

As our senior daughter was beginning her college plans, she was uncertain of the direction that she was headed. Trey proved to be exactly what we needed. He helped direct her toward a strategic plan for college and even post graduate work.

Allison

For us, it was not about our son choosing one particular major or career path, but being empowered to recognize strengths and how they can relate to the real world. Trey does a great job at this.

  • 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.
