Knowsys Test Prep was started in 2002 in Houston, Texas by Dr. Sheila Griffith, Kevin Griffith, and Katya Horner. It began as a MBA Entrepreneurship class project. Sheila Griffith had been working for another test prep company while working on her PhD. When she moved back to Houston to begin work on her MBA, she was not retained by that company; and subsequently allowed the 1 year non-compete clause to elapse.

Sheila was tapped by then Jones School of Management at Rice University recruiting director Peter Veruki to create a GMAT course for strong candidates who had insufficient GMAT scores. From this beginning, Sheila, Kevin, and Katya began creating GMAT materials for this course and subsequent courses for the Jones School applicants.
