Testimonials
Kelly Wooldridge, Phi Mu Social Chair
Study Edge has helped me through some of the hardest classes I’ve taken and without their help I don’t think I would have done nearly as well in those classes. They make hard topics easy to understand and in a way that college students can relate to. Study Edge is a must for students who want to study smarter!
Nicole Bryson, Phi Mu Member
I took my first Chemistry exam without using Study Edge and did poorly. After talking to some of my sisters in the class that had aced the exam using Study Edge, I decided to try it out. Study Edge helped me get As on my next two exams, resulting in an A in the class!
