How Did Ava Improve Her ACT Score From 22 to 30 (and earn $88,421 in scholarships) in Just Six Weeks?

We use a coaching approach, not a tutoring model. Traditional tutors charge by the hour and create dependency. Our program is different in three ways:

First, we focus on building skills, not creating dependency. We teach students how to think through the patterns that show up on the ACT so they can solve questions on their own.

Second, we use efficient 4-8 week sprints with daily asynchronous check-ins so coaches can adjust the plan in real time.

Third, everything is personalized. We identify your student's specific weak points, create a customized practice plan, and provide 24/7 support.

Our students average over 4 points of score improvement, with many achieving 6-9 point increases. Improvement depends on starting score, commitment level, and how targeted the prep is. Students starting in the low-to-mid 20s typically see the biggest jumps (7-9 points). Students already in the low 30s often gain 2-4 points, which can still unlock significant scholarship money.

Your student gets: a personal ACT coach matched to their specific challenges, a daily structured to-do list, 24/7 messaging support, and customized practice drills targeting their weak points. You're not just buying course materials — you're getting a dedicated coach who's invested in your student's success.

Yes, absolutely. We work with students from the high teens/low 20s up to students already in the low 30s. Students in the low-to-mid 20s often see 7-9 point improvements. Students in the high 20s or low 30s need advanced strategies for the hardest questions — this is where our personalized coaching shines. For students targeting 34-36: our founder scored a perfect 36, and all coaches have perfect or near-perfect scores.

Pricing varies based on your specific needs, timeline, and goals. On your strategy call, your ACT Planning Advisor will help customize the right plan for your situation. Our students average more than 4 extra ACT points, and each point is worth approximately $10,000 in scholarship money. A 5-point improvement typically means $50,000+ in extra scholarships.

Yes. The typical time commitment is about 1 hour per day, 5-7 days per week, plus 30-60 minute live Zoom sessions — roughly 7 hours per week total. It's short-term (4-8 weeks), and we schedule everything around their life. Many of our most successful students are student-athletes taking 4-5 AP classes.

For most students, we recommend focusing on just the ACT. Colleges look at the ACT and SAT completely interchangeably. After the SAT converted to digital-only with an adaptive format, we found students could improve more on the ACT. Pick one test, go all-in on it, and master it.

Many colleges accept a superscore — they take your highest section score from each test date and average those together. Example: Test 1: E32, M27, R26 → Composite 28. Test 2: E28, M32, R31 → Composite 30. Superscore: E32, M32, R31 → Superscore 32. We call this the "ACT Gambling Game" and build our strategy around stacking your best section scores across multiple test attempts.

We recommend planning for 2 test attempts for most students. Test 1 is your "foundation test" — you execute strategies and get comfortable with the environment. Test 2 is your "optimization test" — focused intensely on 1-2 sections that need improvement, knowing the other scores are already locked in via superscore.

We generally recommend the paper ACT. With paper, students can write directly on the booklet, there are no technical issues on test day, it's easier to navigate passages, and easier to pace yourself. We've seen too many situations where online testing centers have technical failures that impact student scores.
