    FAQS

    What are typical ACT Test Prep results from past students?

    Some students have improved their scores by phenomenal points. However, typically, student scores improve by a very respectable 3–5 points.

    How can I support my student’s success through these ACT Test Prep sessions?

    Collaborate with your student to create a dedicated work-time schedule, materials, and space for working on ACT practice assignments. Creating a personal reward system that encourages your student may be helpful.

    Bring the ACT Practice booklet, assignments, and every tool needed for taking the ACT Exam: pen, pencil (mechanical), and calculator (not the cell phone). Bring snacks and water—be respectful of possible food allergies.

    Your student should dress comfortably and in layers. We cannot control the room temperature. Be sensitive to respectful messages on clothing.
