Sorry for the length, but this is a summary of our Boot Camp. Call or email if you have any more questions!
Our program consists of 3 major components:
1. Weekly Trainings
2. Mandatory Practice Tests
3. At Home Duties
WEEKLY TRAININGS
This is the bulk of our Boot Camp. Our trainings are fairly lengthy, @ 3 hours per session, and in them we focus on two main elements: Core Content, and Strategy.
Core Content:
We essentially “sharpen” the spear (or education) that our trainee has built over the course of their schooling. We elicit knowledge as it applies to the ACT and refine it accordingly.
Strategy:
This is where students receive training that, for legal purposes, the schools are not permitted to distribute. The ACT is a static inventory and therefore, practices can be developed to increase one’s performance. We spend much of our time focused on time management, how the ACT is scored, how to make good guesses, and debunking common test fallacies.

MANDATORY PRACTICE TESTS
Our participants engage in 2, full featured practice tests. Our goals are two fold:
1. Assess academic deficiencies and strengths, which will afford areas of focus henceforward
2. Bread Familiarity: By simulating the ACT Test, our trainees can put into practice what they learn in our Boot Camp. This also helps reduce test anxiety, and lets the student focus on the task at hand. Success in the ACT is built on practice!

@ HOME DUTIES
Much of the material the ACT tests on is built throughout a students academic career. 5 weekly sessions simply is not enough to fully prepare a student (specifically in mathematics). Our weekly trainings are followed up with assignments to be worked on throughout the week. To be honest, students tend to resent “homework” but in order to raise scores work in required.

On a personal Note: We are a small local company with a deep passion for seeing high school kids positioned for success as they enter post-secondary education. I believe in our program, but I must say that it isn’t a “get rich quick” deal. The process is mentally strenuous but effective.
Hopefully that gives you better insight. Feel free to call or email me if you’d like to talk more.
