The short answer
Your student keeps their coach access and their program materials after the sprint finishes, at no additional cost, and a lot of students keep improving on later test dates because of it. Brown reached a 31 during her eight-week sprint and then scored 32, 33 and 34 across later sittings. Her Auburn scholarship rose with her score, from $44,000 at a 31 to $60,000 once she hit the 34.
This question comes up on almost every call, usually near the end, and it’s a sharper question than most families realize they’re asking.
Access doesn’t end when the sprint does
A sprint is four to eight weeks and it’s built around a specific test date. That structure is deliberate, because open-ended prep is what causes students to drift.
But the test date isn’t always the end of the story. Students change their target school, or a scholarship threshold moves, or they simply want another crack at it. So when the paid engagement ends, the coach access and the materials stay. There’s no second invoice for the next test cycle.
We don’t do that out of generosity. A flat fee tied to a target score means we’re already aligned with getting your student to that score, and if it takes one more sitting after the formal program, charging again would be charging twice for the same outcome.
What that actually produced for Brown
Brown came in at a 24, out of a group class where the pace was set by the slowest student in the room.
Eight weeks of a personalized daily plan took her to a 31. Under most programs that’s where it stops.
She kept the access and kept testing. 32, then 33, then a 34, across later sittings, months after the sprint was over. She was using the same materials and still able to ask her coach questions.
Her Auburn scholarship tracked the score the whole way. It was $44,000 when she was at a 31. It reached $60,000 at the 34.
That last part is the piece worth sitting with. Three additional points, earned after the program had formally ended, were worth $16,000 to her family.
Superscoring is a separate thing worth knowing
Retesting and superscoring often get confused. Most colleges now superscore the ACT, which means they take your student’s best score in each of the four sections across all their sittings and combine them.
Camden scored a 30 composite, and her best sections across her sittings combined to a 32. Alabama used the 32, and her scholarship was $96,000 on that basis.
So a retest doesn’t have to beat the old composite to be worth taking. It only has to beat one section.
The practical read
If your student is one or two points below a scholarship threshold, another sitting is usually the highest-return thing available, and it costs a test registration rather than another program. Ask us where the nearest threshold is at your target schools. That’s a five-minute conversation and it changes the plan more often than people expect.
