Aptitude Assessment

Empower your student with an effective, scientifically-proven assessment that helps uncover aptitudes and strengths and then connects him or her to highly personal and relevant paths to success.    

Following the assessment, students meet one-on-one with a member of the college counseling team to discuss the resulting data and interpret how those results might help guide them in educational and career decisions such as middle school and high school course selection, college majors, and potential career paths. 

Aptitude assessments and the resulting counseling session will be conducted via Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or a similar online collaboration platform.

MORE ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT: 

An aptitude is a person’s natural ability to learn or perform in certain areas. Aptitudes are not necessarily the same as interests, personality, or learned skills.    

  • It’s based on proprietary algorithms, artificial intelligence, more than 50 years of research data on aptitudes, and decades of research and scientific data from vocational counseling and industrial-organizational psychology.    
  • It provides an alternative to traditional academic measures, such as GPA, that reveals students’ natural talents.  
  • It’s the only online performance-based measure of aptitudes that aligns students with career and educational pathways.   
  • Core Driver aptitudes such as numerical reasoning, spatial visualization, and idea generation   
  • Personal Approach aptitudes such as vocabulary, work approach, and interpersonal style 

Practical and Visual Amplifiers such as associative memory and hand-eye coordination are also important to the assessment findings.  

This aptitude assessment measures nine aptitudes most critical in determining career success.   

The core assessment is divided into 11 short 5-10 minute exercises. After completion, the student receives a personalized report that surfaces aptitudes and matching education and career pathways, along with the one-on-one session to discuss the results. 

The aptitude assessment (and one-on-one review session) is included as part of the APPLY NOW! Advantage Program but may be purchased separately for $300.

“(I wanted) help with writing essays and getting into my dream colleges. (I was most concerned with) keeping up with everything I have to do and meeting all the deadlines. The constant and honest feedback about my essays regardless is what I really appreciated. There was a time that writing essays just clicked, and it was much easier after that.”

My feedback can only be positive, given how much you helped me get ahead with my application process. I really appreciated how much work both of you put into helping me write the best essay possible, especially reviewing my essays twice to polish them completely. In addition, I have noticed that writing my resume has released a lot of stress off my shoulder when it comes to making sure I have all the things necessary to apply to schools.

Claudia A. – Class of 2020

“I shifted toward taking practice tests and going to workshops because I felt those were the best ways to apply the concepts (I was) learning in class. I started applying the tips and tricks that the teachers were showing me in class. In conjunction, those two things helped me raise my score a lot because I was not a math kid before KD or high school. The repetition and being able to practice in a non-stressful environment and simulating that testing experience is something that was very beneficial for me... “The college counseling team was super patient and honest about the work I was submitting. I know for a lot of kids, it’s hard to articulate who you are through 250-300 words. It was definitely... Read more...

“Both of my sons have been guided by KD College Prep counselor Steve Peifer on their journey to finding the right college for them, and we could not have had a better experience and outcome. My oldest son is now a rising junior at the University of Miami, and my youngest son is an incoming freshman at Vanderbilt University. Steve’s help in navigating the complicated college landscape and finding the BEST FIT for my two sons is what has made this resource invaluable. “What made the biggest difference for my two sons was the depth and breadth of knowledge Steve has of the many universities and colleges in the U.S. First, by getting to know my kids on a one-on-one basis, he was able to...

“Coming into this whole process, I had absolutely no idea what anything was, and your help was invaluable—your encouraging words, strategic advice, and wholesome stories and jokes really got me through a stressful time! I'm still on the waitlist at Harvard and other schools, but I've really started to immerse into the Emory culture, especially their debate team. Not having to pay for college and still attend a private institution is really a dream come true, and it wouldn't be possible if it were not for you.”

“The most beneficial guidance I received during my College Counseling experience was being taught that it's completely ok to not know what I want to do with the rest of my life at 17/18 years old. Steve told me that a good school will help me find my path. Also, Steve's knowledge about what colleges were wanting to see in potential admissions candidates was a huge help... “There was not one specific beneficial moment or turning point in my time working with Steve, there were many. He encouraged me during the entire application process and brought to my attention many colleges I wouldn't have considered or heard about without his help.”

Jake W. – Class of 2020

"My initial goals when I first started working with the KD Counseling crew was to compile a list of colleges that I would be somewhat interested in attending and fit my career goals. I think that this step I was by far the most concerned about. I didn’t know how exactly I should go about choosing which places to apply to and if I were to be accepted, if they would fit me. The team did a wonderful job considering my likes and dislikes and helped me compile a list of colleges that suited my tastes and would further my academic career. "After this integral first step, my focus turned towards time management and writing quality essays that would stand out to colleges. I got... Read more...
