2. Tailoring a test-prep program around your needs

Start prep early. Consider the summer between sophomore and junior year. This is a great time to start, without all the pressures of homework, exams, etc. Or start in the fall for early spring exams. However, most students start in the winter and prepare to take exams in the spring of their junior year, in plenty of time for college applications.

Key Elements of Our ACT Prep Training Approach

  1. Evidence-Based Strategy: We train students to zero in on finding evidence within the test content. This method enhances their ability to quickly identify and extract key information from questions and passages.

  2. Laser Focus Development: Our curriculum emphasizes the cultivation of intense concentration skills. Students learn to maintain a sharp focus throughout the test, crucial for maximizing efficiency and accuracy.

  3. Cognitive Flexibility: We teach techniques to adapt thinking processes on the fly, allowing students to switch strategies as needed for different types of questions.

  4. Pattern Recognition: Students are trained to recognize recurring patterns and question types, enabling them to anticipate and prepare for common challenges.

  5. Critical Analysis: Our approach enhances students’ ability to critically analyze text and data, focusing on evidence rather than assumptions or extraneous information.

  6. Mindset Shift: We encourage a complete mindset shift in how students view standardized tests, moving from a traditional approach to a more strategic, evidence-focused methodology.

  7. Stress Management: Part of seeing the test in a new light involves managing test anxiety. We equip students with tools to stay calm and focused, ensuring their mind is clear to apply the strategies they’ve learned.
