BAP Professional Partner Representative:
Elizabeth Kolar, EVP of Surgent

BAP Professional Partner Organization: Surgent

About Surgent: 

Surgent offers a strategic approach to passing key industry exams. Our approach starts with identifying specific, difficult topics and breaking them down into manageable sections. This process makes it easier for students to master exam content areas.

 We are proud to offer students our exclusive exam prep ReadySCORE(TM) feature where candidates answer assessment questions and, as a result, receive an estimated exam score with a Diagnostic Report indicating candidates’ strong and weak areas. This assessment takes the guesswork out of exam readiness, so you can study confidently each step of the way and walk into your exam knowing you’re ready to pass. 

Ultimately, our strategy is to avoid longer-length lectures by offering a comfortable “at-your-own-pace” learning environment for any learner. Our focused and flexible approach allows our students to grasp each concept thoroughly and improves retention of necessary exam topics.
