I hated that none of my reviewers understood quantitative analysis. They all were qualitative people and kept telling me to fix one thing after another without really understanding the key components of my work. I called Precision and spoke with Szamor. He was a qual guy too, and I almost hung up on him. He seemed pretty sincere, so I decided to hear him out and am so glad that I did. He let me know they had statistical people on their team, and he said would get me answers if I had questions he wasn't sure about... and I did. He worked hard to make sure I was well informed and kept in the loop. He even pointed out things that both my reviewers and I hadn't noticed, so I was able to get the manuscript approved finally. I sent him a colleague of mine to help and she has had a similarly positive experience with him. Every time I called he was in a good mood and as a food lover - I appreciated that he would talk to me about cooking or restaurants he's tried too. In a weird way it took even more pressure off of me and made me feel like I was talking to a human and not to some dissertation robot.

It took a few months for me to decide to fork out the money to work with this company. Actually, Szamor kept emailing me to check up on me and constantly offered me advice and tips on how to be more efficient. That's why when I had my proposal kicked back by my methodologist after making changes that had been requested, went ahead and took Szamor up on his offer to help. I was disappointed to see that the reviews about GCU being so difficult at the proposal were true. I felt like I had been given the run around and couldn't believe how smoothly things went what Szamor's team started tackling the work. To be honest, they still had to do a round of revisions to get past my methodologist, but the fact is they took so much pressure off of me and were able to make sense of the vague feedback I was getting. Thanks to them, I moved on relatively smoothly and was able to get unstuck!

My startup has limited funding for R&D

My startup has limited funding for R&D. Precision's support has been invaluable to us. Clark has helped us with a number of research tasks -- from developing research primers on modern treatments for the diseases we are developing drugs to treat, to completing SWOT analyses, statistical analyses and results writeups for a number of journal articles we have written, and even completing a marketing plan for the newest veterinary drug we have developed. Precision's level of excellence and professionalism has been outstanding from day one.

I gained 60 pounds from writing my thesis. It was driving me crazy. After spending nearly every weekend for three years trying to write my proposal and having rejected again and again and again, I finally decided to get some help. It was scary allowing someone else to work on my study but I am soooo happy that I found Precision. Ben not only helped me reclaim my weekends, but he helped me to understand that there were problems with my work not even my professor had pointed out. He made sure I was able to deliver on time with every new deadline and even helped with my consent forms and statistics. I'm about to graduate just one year after finding Precision. I am so happy and I can't wait to put this chapter of my life behind me.

I was told by AQR to replace my qualitative study with a quantitative one and I only had 5 weeks until the end of the quarter. I was actually in tears ab out it. I was so mad and felt like I was going to have to just drop out. I reached out to a couple firms hoping that someone would be able to help me and that's how I found Precision. Szamor helped me to figure out everything from the variables I needed for my study to the actual tests that needed to be r un. I have no idea what I would have done without Precision being there to help me figure everything out. I was really surprised how quickly they were ab le to finish work we collaborated on too.

I've read some reviews and my experience wasn't a bad one at my university at all. Working through my Capstone went well, but I needed a professional editor. One of my cohorts recommended Szamor to me and said that he could help. I was surprised at how quickly he was able to look at my work and point out a dozen points that needed to be fixed. After we worked together, my work only took one round of minor revisions and I got to graduate like I had planned. Precision definitely worked for me.

Precision was not my first choice for stats help, but they got the job done. I thought my mentor would be working closely with me, but she didn't and coding in R was something that I wasn't good enough at to do myself efficiently. Precision's team got it done pretty quickly, and even though we had to have a bit of back and forth about what I wanted for a write up, the data and their tables were sound. My mentor was happy, so I was happy. They do what they say they will, but for anyone working with them, I'd say - just be clear on what you want so there isn't any confusion. I'd use them again and actually will for editing here in a bit.

It was hard to admit that I needed help. I mean, I got my masters degrees without a hitch, but I was totally stuck in my dissertation. My chair clearly had it in for me, since I was being told contradictory things from one review to the next. 3 years of struggles and I felt no closer to finishing which is why my wife suggested I get help. Szamor and Matt were easy to talk to, funny, and they helped me figure out the alignment issues that had been holding me back. We got my work fixed in about 2 weeks and with only minor revisions my chair had nothing to say. I couldn't believe it! I recommend them to anyone who is being held back or just feels lost.

My startup hired Precision to develop a predictive model for determining factors that influence individuals' decisions to click through advertisements. The communication of Craig and Ben has been excellent and we were very pleased with the high level of work. We followed up with a SWOT analysis and identified an area in which to focus our marketing moving forward that our team had not previously considered as an opportunity for growth. We will certainly continue to work with Precision as we continue to grow our business.

Thank you so much Ben for your encouragement and your help! So it’s official! I’m employed!! After 4 years at GCU and 1 year after hiring Precision I have graduated, published my study and now I'm starting a research fellowship this fall ! My time will be split between consulting, assessments, and research and it would not have been possible without the help of Ben and Precision. I will definitely continue to work with Precision if I need any support with my consultancy and we are already working together on a new study based on my previous research. Precision ended up helping me with all of my chapters and even the research proposal for the fellowship I am starting this fall. You will not regret working with Precision and the team!

I am so happy that I found Precision and took the leap of faith! I was scared because it was more money than I thought it would be but they ended up SAVING me THOUSANDS! I hired Precision in November to do chapter 4. The work they did was excellent and even suggested changes to chapters 1-3. I ended up hiring them to rewrite my whole proposal and chapter 5 also. I received approval to graduate in May. I am CERTAIN I would have taken another three years to do this on my own but Precision followed up every reviewer comment and I am now getting assist with writing a research grant and publishing my work. I would like to thank Ben in particular whose dedication to my work has created a lifelong client.

You are definitely a bunch of crooks and cheaters

You are definitely a bunch of crooks. don't trust them and keep your work as far away from these people as you can. The people working for them as editors have no clue what they are doing. They will assign someone to edit your paper who has no idea of your research and they just don’t care as long as they get your money. On 18 of December 2018, I needed help for editing and proofreading services of the first paper of my research paper (Introduction, LR and Methodology) because I'm not a native English speaker and I also needed to analysis my data by SPSS software. So, I asked help from Precision consulting, after I sent them an email Cathrin replied to my email and she took my work, I paid $5000 for editing services and completed the analysis part of the research paper by using SPSS software. She convinced me that she is an expert in this field and she can help me and will be with me until I publish my research in a good journal and she can also meet the deadline which was 15th of January 2019 but the paper will cost me $5000, I have to pay $2500 at first and other $2500 after sending me the half of work. So, because she was so nice at the beginning, I paid $ 3000 in advance in the hope to receive a fantastic work on time because it was my final year and I should defend my PhD before June 2019 or I will last my Job in my country because I'm International PhD student and I took the leave of Study just for 4 years. After three months waiting to receive the First part of my work that I paid $3000 to receive it. She refused to send me until to pay remain amount which is $ 2000. She said when you make a payment of $2000, I will send you the whole paper. Unfortunately, I made a payment of $ 2000 as well, she just sent me the first part of the paper (Introduction, Literature review and methodology) that I sent her for editing and proofreading without any progress and with 75% of pilgrims, I asked her what is this you didn't edit the paper? and where is the second part of the paper that you said you will send me when I make a whole payment? she said we didn't complete it yet and we will revision the first part and will send you soon, after many times asking for the revision, she just tried to waste my time, every time I asked for revision after passing 1 to 2 months she sent me the same rubbish work without any progress even she didn't use the SPSS software she just used the results of data on that I transferred from online survey to the Excel sheet. She tried to waste more of my time and to not complain she gave my work to Stephanie but unfortunately, I waste other 2 months with her at the end she sent me the same work that Cathrin had sent. When did I ask her that you are sent me the same paper that Cathrin sent me, where is the revision? she didn't reply to my emails and phone. So, please don't trust those people they are all a bunch of crooks. I paid $5000 and waste more than 7 months of my time for nothing. I will never forgive them every day in my prayers I ask God to take revenge on them because they cheat me and the let me to lost my job, my money and my time

Thank You

Since you have been a part of my PhD journey for well over a year now, I wanted to share the good news with you that my dissertation committee has FINALLY approved my dissertation and with some minor changes, and we should have a defense in a couple of months. It simply couldn't have been possible without you, Cathrin. When no one at my university was on my side, Precision kept working with me. Not only was the work you assisted with stellar, your guidance in how to handle my reviewer who was ultimately kicked off my committee, was what got me to this point!
I know this is real, because they actually wrote it in email and official documentation late last night, and signed it, and also recommended internal and external examiners that will be present at the defense!
Thank you, Cathrin! I will never forget you.

Precision played a HUGE role

Precision played a HUGE role, not a small role, a VERY HUGE one in making sure I graduated. I am sure I could not have made it without Ben! I will post and scream and review my praises of Ben and Precision EVERYWHERE!! I feel SO confident having Precision by my side!! I am awaiting for my Chair to post my grade as passing but he already told me I would be walking. Then my Advisor can post the grade and he will send me information on the last stages of publishing and conferring my degree. I could not more highly recommend Precision to any student who is struggling!!

This company completely failed! Stay away!

This company took my money and completely screwed up my dissertation. The editor rephrased significant sections in my dissertation that completely changed the idea I want to communicate. It was a complete failure on their part. They just created more work for me. After I paid the for unlimited revisions, I had to go back and fix my research paper myself and do my own editing. The company never once offered any compensation for the complete failure. They never offered a cent of my money back. Keep your work as far away from these people as you can. The people working for them as editors have no clue what they are doing. They will assign someone to edit your paper who has no idea of your research and they just don’t care as long as the get your money.

I think it is impossible to graduate from Grand Canyon University without support from a service like Precision. The course were all so easy and then when I had to write my 10 points and prospectus, they sent it back again and again. I finally hired Precision to help me write the prospectus and it was approved after three reviews. I avoided having to take a residency and it was very easy to work with them. It was so nice that they clearly explained everything and I was able to write the proposal myself and only get help with editing after I had an approved topic. I don't intend to use Precision again because I want to do this myself. But it is a huge relief to know that they are ready to help if I have a problem.

I worked with a really great group of people at Precision. Matt and Szamor made the whole experience super smooth. From the first time I spoke with them on the phone to when we completed the final edit for my MBA was surprised how in control they were of the whole situation. When they finished my editing it blew me away how much stuff they had been able to fix! I mean, I think I'm a decent writer, but there were so many little APA rules that I didn't even know existed. They saved me a lot of time and now we're even looking at writing a journal article together.

The crazy thing is that even though my deadline was 6 days away and I thought I was about to lose years of effort on my program to finsih my proposal, Precision stepped in and showed me a better way to address the stuff that I kept getting told was wrong. I felt like I was going crazy being told stuff was "not aligned." The team showed me that it was normal to have these problems and it was all because my questions didn't connect well enough to my problem statment - something my chair should have told me about but never did. Thank you Precision.

I am still so amazed that I have reached this milestone, and I appreciate you being with me on this journey, Cathrin! Thank you so much for completing the revisions so quickly, and , as usual, you did a marvelous job. I agree that the F&S people cannot edit, and Walden needs to hire you immediately:). I will submit the revised document today to the chair and committee and I should receive immediate feedback to move to URR (who was part of the defense team and asked several follow-up questions) again for his final review. Then off to the CAO for his Approval, which is the final step!

I am so excited and without you this would not be a reality.
