Give Me 8 Weeks and I'll Help Your Child Score a 30+ on the ACT...

We use a coaching approach, not a tutoring model—and the difference matters. Traditional tutors charge by the hour and meet weekly, which creates misaligned incentives (they make more money the longer you stay with them). They also tend to spoon-feed solutions during sessions, which feels helpful in the moment but doesn't build the skills students need to solve problems independently on test day.

Our coaching program is different in three key 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, not just memorize specific problems.

Second, we use efficient 4-8 week sprints instead of dragging prep on for 6-12 months. Students have a clear finish line in sight, which keeps them motivated and prevents burnout. With daily asynchronous check-ins, coaches adjust the plan in real time to speed up the feedback cycle for rapid improvement.

Third, everything is personalized. We identify your student's specific weak points, create a customized practice plan targeting those weaknesses, and provide 24/7 support along with a structured daily to-do list. No cookie-cutter group classes where students waste time on concepts they've already mastered.

Bottom line: We don't just help students get a better score. We empower them to master the test efficiently. And the results speak for themselves.

Our students average over 4 points of score improvement, with many achieving 6-9 point increases. That said, every student is different.

Improvement depends on three factors:

Starting score: Students starting in the low-to-mid 20s typically see the biggest point jumps (7-9 points). Students already in the low 30s have less room to grow but often gain 2-4 points, which can still unlock significant scholarship money.

Commitment level: Students who complete their daily practice consistently see much better results than those who cram everything into the weekend. We recommend about one hour per day during the 4-8 week prep window.

How targeted the prep is: This is where our system shines. We don't waste time on your student's strengths. We laser-focus on their specific weak points, which is why we get better results in less time than traditional programs.

On your free strategy call, we can look at your student's current score and give you a realistic target based on what we've seen with similar students.

Your student gets comprehensive support from start to finish:

Personal ACT coach: Each student is matched with an expert coach who understands their specific challenges. Your coach conducts 1-on-1 sessions (via Zoom) to review progress, talk through challenging concepts, and adjust the practice plan as needed.

Daily structured to-do list: We don't just tell students "go practice." We give them a specific, personalized to-do list every day that tells them exactly what to work on, for how long, and in what order. This removes all the guesswork and keeps students accountable.

24/7 messaging support: Students can message their coach anytime with questions. No waiting until next week's session. If they're stuck on a math problem at 9 PM on Thursday, they can get help immediately.

Customized practice drills: We identify your student's weak points and create targeted drills to improve those specific areas. No generic practice plans—everything is personalized to their needs.

You're not just buying access to course materials. You're getting a dedicated coach who's invested in your student's success.

Yes, absolutely. We work with students across the entire score range, from the high teens/low 20s up to students already in the low 30s trying to get those last few points.

For students scoring in the low-to-mid 20s: These students can often see the biggest improvements (7-9 points) because there are more fundamental skills to build. We focus on content gaps and time management strategies that create quick wins, then transition to the higher level concepts.

For students already scoring in the high 20s or low 30s: These students need a different approach. They've mastered the basics—now it's about eliminating careless mistakes, optimizing timing, and learning advanced strategies for the hardest questions. This is where our personalized coaching really shines, because cookie-cutter programs can't help students at this level.

For students targeting a 34-36: We specialize in this. Our founder scored a perfect 36, and all of our coaches have perfect (or nearly perfect) scores. We know exactly what it takes to break into the elite range, and we've helped dozens of students go from the low 30s to 34+.

The key is that we personalize everything. Two students with the same current score might have completely different weaknesses, so they need completely different practice plans. That's what our coaching model enables.

On your strategy call, we'll look at your student's score and specific goals to see what's possible.

Our coaching program is personalized for each student, so pricing varies based on your specific needs, timeline, and goals. Some families invest as little as a few hundred dollars, and some families invest tens of thousands of dollars. We don't have any cookie-cutter plans, so we don't have cookie-cutter pricing.

On your strategy call, your ACT Planning Advisor will help customize the right plan for your situation. Our goal is always to provide the best Return on Investment for our families.

Our students average more than 4 extra ACT points, and each point is worth approximately $10,000 in scholarship money (based on multiple studies, and rounded down to remain conservative). A 5-point improvement typically means $50,000+ in extra scholarships.

With the extra scholarships and the additional college options, our families consistently report receiving a great Return on Investment when working with us.

On your free strategy call, we'll give you an exact quote based on your student's current standing and their goals. That way, you can make the best decision for your family's situation.

Yes, and in fact, our program is specifically designed for busy, high-achieving students.

Most of our students are juggling AP classes, sports, extracurriculars, and social lives. We get it—they don't have hours and hours to dedicate to ACT prep. That's exactly why we focus on efficiency.

About 1 hour per day, 5-7 days per week of practice to be completed whenever the student wants, plus 30-60 minute live Zoom sessions with a coach. That's roughly 7 hours per week total, on average.

Many of our most successful students are student-athletes and/or students taking 4-5 AP classes. They make it work because the prep is efficient, structured, and time-bound.

Probably not, but timing matters. Here's the reality:

If your student is a sophomore or junior: You're in great shape. This is the ideal window to start.

If your student is a senior in fall: It's tight, but we can still help. Many of our senior students improve significantly even starting in September or October.

If your student is a senior in spring: This is too late for most college applications, but there may still be scholarship opportunities. For example, Bright Futures in Florida accepts ACT scores until August after graduation.

Book a strategy call and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help based on your timeline and goals. If we can't help, we'll tell you that too.

This is one of the most common questions we get, and the answer is: it depends on your student's specific situation.

Most colleges don't actually require the Science section. The vast majority of schools only look at your English, Math, and Reading scores. Only a small handful of schools or STEM-focused programs want to see the Science score.

On your free strategy call, we'll look at your student's target schools and intended major and give you specific guidance on whether they should include Science.

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 saw that students could improve more on the ACT compared to the SAT. Since this change, we specialized our program for the ACT.

Pick one test, go all-in on it, and master it.

Superscoring is one of the most powerful strategies for maximizing your ACT score. Many colleges accept a superscore — they take your highest section score from each test date and average those together, even if they came from different test attempts.

Example: Test 1: English 32, Math 27, Reading 26 → Composite 28. Test 2: English 28, Math 32, Reading 31 → Composite 30. Superscore: English 32, Math 32, Reading 31 → Superscore 32.

We call this the "ACT Gambling Game." You're strategically stacking your best section scores across multiple test attempts — not trying to be perfect at everything on a single day.

We generally recommend the paper ACT for most students. With paper, students can write directly on the test booklet—circling key words, crossing out wrong answers, drawing on graphs. We've also seen too many situations where online testing centers experience technical issues on test day.

It depends entirely on your student's individual situation. If a score increase unlocks significant scholarship money or meaningfully improves admissions odds at target schools, it's often worth it. If they're already at or above the 75th percentile for their target schools, the energy might be better spent elsewhere.

If you book a free strategy call, we'll give you our honest recommendation. Sometimes we say, "Your score is strong—focus on your essays." Other times: "Two points would unlock $60,000 and we can get you there in 4 weeks."

We recommend planning for 2 test attempts for most students. The first test establishes a foundation and gives us data. The second test is the optimization — we focus intensely on 1-2 sections using the superscore strategy, knowing other scores are already locked in.

On your strategy call, we'll map out the optimal test dates based on your student's timeline, current score, and college application deadlines.
