Why Trust TREC Approved?

We are the Neutral Referee. Most "Best School" lists are written by the schools themselves or aggressive affiliate marketers. We operate differently:

1. Data First

We prioritize TREC Exam Passage Reports over marketing claims. If a school has a great website but a 40% pass rate, we tell you.

2. Radical Transparency

We clearly label "Sponsored" placements vs. "Organic" data.

3. Consumer Protection

We highlight "Probationary Status" warnings for underperforming schools.
