ACT Prep Program
Our Content Analysis Report provides a comprehensive evaluation of student's strengths and weakness in English, Math, Reading, and Science tests.
Once you take a full length assessment, our proprietary algorithm identifies the top three areas for each of the four tests. The algorithm is based on Lean Six Sigma Principles. Our prescription for 1, 3 and 5 composite point improvement will help you prioritize concepts that offer the most opportunity to improve your score. Based on your testing schedule, you can determine which topics and how long you practice to master them.
Typical ACT® prep books have over 1000 questions so knowing which concepts will help you improve your score allows you to maximize your score and minimize effort relative to other approaches. Our properietary alogrithm will identify skills you need to master — translates to approximately 300 questions you need to practice and gain mastery. Short videos explain concepts tested, so you gain proficiency before practicing item bank questions.
While most ACT® prep programs and tutors focus on strategies and rote practice to improve score, we identify the skill deficiencies to personalize content. You will be more confident in your ability to answer question on the test once you gain sufficient proficiency in these concepts.
The ACT® is made up of four tests, 215 questions in all and needs to be completed in 2 hours and 55 minutes. Know the facts about ACT.
