Frequently Asked Questions

When should I take the ACT?

We recommend that you take the ACT while enrolled in Algebra II. The majority of the math content tested on the ACT is covered in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. We often have sophomores at our events. Do not wait until your senior year! Beginning your ACT journey prior to your senior year will allow you more time to meet your testing goals. Seniors often find themselves feeling more pressure to meet application deadlines and overwhelmed with senior activities.
When should I take your ACT classes?

We recommend that students take our ACT class immediately prior to taking the ACT. This will allow students to be able to apply what they have been learning and practicing in class while the information is still fresh on their minds.
How do I register and pay for your ACT classes?

Click on a specific event on the Upcoming Events page to register for an event. For your convenience, you will be able to register and submit payment on our website. You will need to tell us your previous ACT score if you have one.
What are your fees and do you offer any discounts?

Event registration fees and any available discounts are stated on our Upcoming Events page.
Should I sign up for ACT Boot Camp or class ACT?

We offer two opportunities for students to choose from for their ACT prep needs. Students will need to consider their testing goals and current status to determine which class to sign up for. Students who primarily need test-taking tips and time-management strategies may choose to attend the ACT Boot Camp. Students who need more content instruction than can be offered in the ACT Boot Camp should choose the Class ACT course. In general, students who wish to significantly increase their ACT score should sign up for the more time intensive Class ACT course. ACT Boot Camps Our boot camps are 3.5 hour classes which offer specific test-taking tips, content instruction, time-management strategies, and practice in each tested area. Although the camps do provide content instruction, minimal time is spent on content due to the limited amount of class time. Students who need more help in the content areas will need to attend the Class ACT course. The boot camp fee includes all required course materials and a brief pizza break. Class ACT Class ACT is an ACT prep course to get students ready for optimal results on the ACT! The class is 5 four-hour sessions of content instruction, test-taking tips, time-management strategies, and application. The 20 hour course will provide significant content instruction in math and English to fill in the gaps so students are more prepared for the ACT. In science and reading, students will receive information regarding the types of passages on the ACT and specific strategies for tackling those passages. At the end of the course, students will have spent 10 hours in math/science and 10 hours in English/reading. Students will be given significant time to practice and apply what they are learning in all four tested areas. The course fee includes all required course materials, snacks, and a test-day pack.
What materials do I need to bring to class?

You will need to bring a basic watch without an alarm to all sessions so that you can practice our timing strategies. Learning to pace yourself and monitor your time is extremely important for your success! Please bring your calculator with you that you plan to use on the ACT to every session. Although not required, we highly recommend the TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator. An alternative and cheaper non-graphing calculator recommendation would be the TI-36X Pro scientific calculator. All instruction during our classes regarding calculator tips will focus on these two types of calculators.
Do you offer make-up classes if I have to miss a session of the Class ACT class?

No, we do not offer make-up sessions for missed classes. However, we will provide any material that you missed when you return. You will need to catch up on what you missed outside of class. Clients who miss a scheduled class are encouraged to schedule an appointment for private tutoring to catch up on what they missed.
Do students outside of Troup County take your classes?

YES! We have both public and private school students from all over Georgia and Alabama attend our events. You never know whom you may meet at one of our classes!
How much will my score increase after taking the class ACT course?

Unfortunately, we cannot predict how much a student's score will increase. There are many factors which will influence student performance. A student's baseline score, content knowledge, academic ability, and work ethic are factors which play a role. Additionally, students who do not get a good night's sleep or do not eat a balanced breakfast may not perform to their potential. Although we can't make predictions, we do have data that shows that what we do helps students to improve! Please visit our Client Testimonials page to see what our clients and parents have to say about their experience.
What can I do to achieve my best score?

Students who maximize their performance on the ACT are coachable. In other words, they consistently do what we ask of them. Students will achieve their best results by following our test-taking tips, practicing our time-management strategies, and by completing their take-home practice assignments.. Athletes have proven over and over again how hard work and repetition positively impact performance. Likewise, hard work and repetition positively impact ACT performance, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!! Another important part of improvement is to recognize and learn from mistakes. It is important to spend time after each practice assignment reviewing missed questions and truly attempting to understand WHY you missed it. You have to own your mistakes and learn from them. It is not enough to just know that the answer was D! You have to understand what misconception you had that kept you from getting it right.
