The differences are in the price, amount of live instruction, practice opportunities, everyday access to help, parent visibility, and what families must do to qualify for the guarantee. Outliers 34+ $2,110 Princeton Review 34+ $7,560 A difference of $5,450 The Short Answer ## Two 34+ programs. Two very different models. Princeton Review offers 18 hours of personalized private tutoring with an experienced instructor. Outliers combines up to 96 hours of live group classes with a year-long coaching system, near-daily access to coaches, more than 22 complete practice tests, recurring proctored Mock ACTs, interactive learning tools, and a dashboard through which parents can monitor their student’s progress. The comparison is not perfectly one-to-one: Princeton Review concentrates its live support into private appointments, while Outliers surrounds students with instruction, coaching, technology, accountability, and testing opportunities throughout the program. For families who want support between lessons—not only during scheduled tutoring sessions—the structure may matter even more than whether the primary class is private or group-based. At-a-Glance Comparison ## What does each program include? The table separates scheduled instruction from the broader support system available throughout preparation.

Princeton Review currently lists its ACT 34+ program at $420 per hour. At 18 hours, the total is approximately $7,560 . The Outliers 34+ Guaranteed Program costs $2,110 . Outliers costs approximately 72% less while including much more scheduled live instructional time, more complete practice tests, recurring Mock ACTs, interactive AI assistance, a parent dashboard, and an entire coaching team. A Year of Support ## More than a collection of tutoring appointments. Princeton Review’s strength is personalized private tutoring. Outliers uses a different approach: students receive group instruction, but the support surrounding that instruction continues throughout the week. ✓ Up to 96 hours of live classes ✓ More than 22 complete ACT practice tests ✓ A proctored Mock ACT almost every month ✓ Video explanations for almost every ACT test question ✓ Interactive AI explanations for almost every ACT Math question ✓ Weekly office hours with the coaching team ✓ A weekly opportunity for an individual 15-minute Zoom ✓ Personalized assignments based on each student’s results ✓ The ability to ask coaches questions throughout most of the week ✓ A parent dashboard for monitoring progress Group Classes, Individual Support ## Students do not have to wait until the next class to get help. Outliers’ live classes are taught in a group setting. However, students can interact with their coaches on most days of the program, ask questions throughout the week, attend weekly office hours, and schedule a weekly 15-minute Zoom meeting with a coach. The coaching team monitors completed work, reviews performance data, helps students decide what to study next, and intervenes when a student begins falling behind. Princeton Review provides private tutoring, but access to the primary tutor is generally concentrated within the 18 purchased tutoring hours. Ongoing access to a coach on most days of the week is not listed as a standard feature of its 34+ program. With Outliers, the classes may be group-based, but the support surrounding those classes is individualized and available throughout the week. A Team of 34+ Coaches ## Instruction, accountability, and immediate help. 34+ ### Every coach has done it Every coach working with Outliers 34+ students has personally earned at least a 34 ACT superscore. They understand the content knowledge, pacing, accuracy, and discipline required to reach that level. ↗ ### Progress is monitored Coaches review completed work and performance data, help determine what students should study next, and provide encouragement and accountability throughout the program. ▶ ### Video help on almost every question When students miss an ACT question, they can usually watch a video explanation immediately instead of waiting for the next scheduled meeting. AI ### Interactive Math explanations For almost every ACT Math question, students can ask follow-up questions and work through the problem with interactive AI support—similar to having access to a tutor 24 hours a day. Team-Based by Design ## Top students become stronger when they are surrounded by other top students. The Outliers 34+ Program is not simply a collection of lessons assigned to individual students. It is a team-based program in which motivated, high-scoring students prepare alongside peers pursuing similarly ambitious goals. Students compete in a healthy way on effort—not just natural ability. They can see what disciplined preparation looks like, be inspired by the breakthroughs and scores of their peers, and recognize that difficult goals become achievable when other students around them are doing the work. At the same time, every student’s actual preparation remains individualized through the Outliers app and coaching team. ### Exactly what to do each day Almost all student work is completed through the Outliers app. Students do not have to design their own study plan or guess what to practice next. The app tells them what needs to be done; their responsibility is to do it. ### The plan changes with the student The app continually modifies the student’s assignments based on results, progress, upcoming test dates, and individual needs. Two students in the same program may receive very different daily work. ### Diagnosis from foundations to 36-level skills The system continually looks for gaps—from middle-school foundations that may have been missed years ago to the advanced content, precision, and timing required to earn 35s and 36s. ### Technology plus human coaching The app identifies and assigns the work while coaches monitor progress, answer questions, provide accountability, and help students respond when the data reveals a new obstacle. Visibility for Parents ## Parents can watch the progress—not wonder about it. Outliers parents receive access to a parent dashboard where they can follow their student’s progress throughout the program. Families can see whether the work is being completed and how the student is developing instead of waiting until the next official ACT score arrives. This visibility makes it easier for parents, students, and coaches to work as a team. It also helps identify consistency problems early, while there is still time to correct them. Parents can monitor weekly check-ins, accuracy, quiz scores, hours worked, effort ranking, and progress toward program awards. The score snapshot compares where a student started, the student’s best practice results, and current projected scores. Practice Under Real Conditions ## Five practice tests vs. more than 22. Princeton Review includes five full-length practice tests, four of which must be completed under specific conditions to remain eligible for its guarantee. Outliers students have access to more than 22 complete tests and an opportunity to participate in a professionally proctored Mock ACT almost every month. 5 ### Princeton Review Five full-length practice tests, with four required for guarantee eligibility. Practice tests are primarily completed independently according to the required schedule. 22+ ### Outliers ACT Prep More than 22 complete practice tests plus recurring proctored Mock ACTs that recreate pacing, pressure, distractions, and the mental demands of an official administration. The purpose is not simply to complete more questions. Each result helps identify patterns, target weaknesses, retest skills, and prepare students to reproduce their best performance on an official test day. Read the Fine Print ## Princeton Review’s guarantee requires several specific steps. According to Princeton Review’s current program page and official guarantee terms, students must satisfy the following requirements to remain eligible. Attend every scheduled tutoring session. Begin tutoring at least 30 days before the first official ACT. Complete at least 18 tutoring hours before that ACT. Complete all four required practice tests before the first official ACT. Take each practice test in one sitting while observing official time limits and breaks. Ensure every qualifying test produces a score report in Princeton Review’s online dashboard. Complete and enter all assigned homework according to the tutor’s schedule. Take the first official ACT within 30 days after the final tutoring session. If the guarantee is not reached, submit a guarantee request within 30 days of that first official ACT. Take a second official ACT within 60 days of the first. Submit the official score report and another guarantee request within 30 days of the second official test. The guarantee can ordinarily be used only for the first Princeton Review program the student purchases for the ACT. Students beginning with a 34 or higher are not eligible. Princeton Review Refund Levels ## Finishing below a 34 does not always mean a full refund. After all eligibility requirements are satisfied, the refund depends on the student’s final superscore. Students who improve by six or more points receive no refund, regardless of the final score. 34+ No refund 32–33 25% refund 30–31 50% refund Below 30 Tuition refund, less applicable materials and shipping fees These conditions do not make Princeton Review’s guarantee illegitimate. They do make it important for families to understand that “34+ guaranteed” does not necessarily mean a full refund whenever a student finishes below a 34. The Outliers Guarantee ## A score guarantee—and a broader satisfaction promise. Outliers guarantees a six-point increase, up to a 34 superscore , for students who put in the recommended work. If a student puts in that work but does not earn the guaranteed improvement, the family may request part or all of its tuition back—whatever the family believes is fair. Even if a student does not complete the recommended work, if the family is dissatisfied with the services Outliers provided, we will still refund part or all of the tuition—whatever the family thinks is fair. Our goal is to provide a program families genuinely believe was worth the investment and to treat them fairly when they do not. How the Outliers 34+ Program Works ## An intensive foundation followed by flexible, targeted preparation. The program can last up to one year, but it is not designed to keep students working at maximum intensity for 12 uninterrupted months. The structure changes after the initial 13 weeks so students can prepare around school, activities, and the ACT dates that matter most. Phase One · Weeks 1–13 ### Build the foundation intensely. The first 13 weeks establish the knowledge, habits, data, and testing strategies students will use throughout the remainder of the program. Approximately 1.5 hours of work per day One day off each week Live classes Sundays from 4–6 p.m. ET Every class is recorded for students who cannot attend live App-based assignments continually adapt to the student’s results Phase Two · After Week 13 ### Prepare strategically and flexibly. After the intensive opening phase, students shift into targeted work based on their remaining gaps and upcoming official test dates. Approximately one hour per day while actively preparing Five workdays per week Students may pause for as many weeks—or even months—as needed Preparation can resume when the timing is right Students may remain in the program for up to one year Most students reach their goal scores within six months, but the full year remains available for students who need additional development, want to target later ACT dates, or need to pause during especially demanding parts of the school year. Which Program Is the Better Fit? ## The right choice depends on the kind of support your student needs. Princeton Review may appeal to families who prefer a nationally recognized company and want 18 hours of concentrated private tutoring with one experienced instructor. ### Princeton Review may fit students who want: A limited number of intensive one-on-one appointments with one primary tutor and a nationally established test-preparation provider. ### Outliers may fit students who want: A substantially lower price, far more live instruction, near-daily access to coaches, parent visibility, AI and video help, more testing opportunities, and a year-long accountability system. A 34 superscore usually requires more than a few strategies or tutoring appointments. It requires expert instruction, targeted repetition, accurate performance data, accountability, immediate access to help, and enough time to turn weaknesses into strengths. That is what the Outliers 34+ Guaranteed Program is built to provide. Explore the 34+ Program ## Build a plan for an elite ACT score.

URL: https://oaprep.com/2026/08/10/have-you-heard-of-youth-leadership-knox/ Outliers ACT Prep # Have You Heard of Youth Leadership Knoxville? This one is specifically for our Knoxville, Tennessee families—the community where Outliers ACT Prep is based. Knoxville Families A year of leadership development for high-school students. Students meet local leaders, build communication and leadership skills, complete service, and connect with motivated peers from across Knox County. Why We Share It ## It is exactly the kind of local opportunity we want families to know about. Youth Leadership Knoxville is a 10-month leadership-development program for rising high-school juniors in Knox County . Students from public, private, and homeschool settings can apply. The experience includes a week-long summer program, monthly leadership sessions, exposure to civic and community leaders, a service project, and three hours of college credit through Pellissippi State Community College. Outliers ACT Prep is not affiliated with Youth Leadership Knoxville or Leadership Knoxville. We receive no money for recommending it. We simply believe in what they are doing and love sharing worthwhile opportunities with our local families. Why We Like It ## Students get real leadership exposure—not just another résumé line. ### Leadership Students build communication, team-building, public-speaking, and leadership skills through an extended program rather than a one-day event. ### Community They meet civic, business, nonprofit, and government leaders while becoming more connected to the Knoxville community. ### College Credit Participants can earn three hours of Leadership Development credit through Pellissippi State Community College at no additional cost. Typical Timeline ## Apply during sophomore year. The program is designed for rising juniors, so families should put it on their radar during the student's sophomore year. February 28 Typical application deadline June Week-long summer day program August–April Monthly evening leadership sessions During the Year Community-service project and Pellissippi State coursework Program dates and application requirements can change, so families should always confirm the current year's information directly with Leadership Knoxville.

URL: https://oaprep.com/2026/08/10/have-you-heard-of-supercamp/ Outliers ACT Prep # Have You Heard of SuperCamp? If you have a middle-school or high-school student, this is a summer program we think more families should know about. Learn how to learn—and how to lead yourself. SuperCamp combines academic strategies with communication, leadership, goal-setting, confidence, and personal responsibility. Why We Share It ## We believe students need more than academic content. Schools understandably spend most of their time teaching students what to learn : math, English, history, and science. SuperCamp spends much of its time teaching students how to learn—and how to manage themselves while doing it. Outliers ACT Prep has no affiliation with SuperCamp. They do not pay us, we receive no referral fees, and we have no financial connection to the organization. We simply believe in much of what they are trying to accomplish and want more families to know it exists. What Students Work On ## Academic skills, leadership skills, and life skills. SuperCamp focuses on many things that are extraordinarily important but can easily fall outside a traditional school curriculum. Studying & Test-Taking Memory & Note-Taking Goal-Setting Leadership Communication Relationships Critical Thinking Personal Responsibility It Is More Than an Academic Camp ## The goal is to help a young person become more capable. ### For students who need a boost SuperCamp can help students who need more confidence, motivation, independence, or better systems for managing school and life. ### For students who are already thriving Strong students can benefit too. The goal is not simply to fix a problem—it is to help students become better learners, communicators, leaders, and decision-makers. One feature we especially like: the experience is largely phone-free, giving students time to learn, talk, problem-solve, form relationships, and be fully present without constantly disappearing into a screen. Worth Learning About ## Take a look and decide whether it fits your student. We do not think every program is right for every student, and we are not suggesting that one summer camp will magically transform a teenager. But if you want more academic strategy, leadership, communication, confidence, and personal responsibility in your student’s education, SuperCamp is absolutely worth learning about.

URL: https://oaprep.com/2026/08/10/have-you-heard-of-questbridge/ Outliers ACT Prep # Have You Heard of QuestBridge? If you know a high-achieving student from a low-income family who dreams of attending a top college, please tell them about QuestBridge. Full college costs can be covered. QuestBridge can connect students with top colleges and four-year scholarships covering tuition, housing and food, books, supplies, and travel. An Opportunity Worth Knowing About ## This could completely change what college looks financially possible. Through the QuestBridge National College Match , students can be admitted to one of dozens of top colleges with a full four-year scholarship covering tuition, housing and food, books and supplies, and travel—with no loans and no parental contribution. QuestBridge does not have absolute income or ACT cutoffs. But its typical Finalists come from lower-income households, earn strong grades in challenging classes, and rank near the top of their class. Learn About the QuestBridge Match Who Should Take a Serious Look? ## Motivated, high-achieving students with significant financial need. ### Financial profile QuestBridge says typical Finalists often come from households earning less than about $65,000 for a family of four with minimal assets , although that is a guideline rather than a hard cutoff. ### Academic profile Typical Finalists earn mostly A's, take challenging courses, and rank near the top of their class. Among Finalists who report ACT scores, scores often fall around 27–33 . A 28 is not a formal requirement. The Odds Are Better Than Many Families Realize ## Still competitive—but a very real opportunity. In recent years, roughly 2,500 students per year have received QuestBridge Match Scholarships. That is a much larger number of recipients than some other nationally known programs. For perspective, The Gates Scholarship awards about 300 students per year , while Posse selects hundreds of Scholars nationally. These programs are not perfectly comparable, but QuestBridge's scale is one reason we think more eligible families should know it exists. Typical QuestBridge Timeline ## Do not wait until normal college application season. QuestBridge happens early. In recent cycles, the major deadlines have typically fallen around these dates: October 1 National College Match application due October 15 College rankings due October 21 Finalists announced November 1 College-specific Match requirements due December 1 Match Day Dates can shift slightly from year to year, so always confirm the current cycle's deadlines directly with QuestBridge. Check Current QuestBridge Deadlines Know a Student Who Needs ACT Help? ## We would love to help make an opportunity like QuestBridge more realistic. If you know an economically disadvantaged student who wants to pursue QuestBridge but would benefit from a stronger ACT score, Outliers ACT Prep is very generous with our scholarship program. Students with financial need can apply for assistance with ACT preparation below.

Why This Matters ## College admissions is only part of the value. One of the best things a student can do during high school is learn that they can see a problem, bring people together, and do something about it . Yes, that can strengthen a college application. But the bigger goal is to help students develop the habit of giving back while gaining real experience organizing and leading others. A Four-Year Leadership Plan ## Explore, create, improve, and then make it last. Freshman Year ### Explore Join several clubs and activities to discover what the student genuinely enjoys—not simply what looks best on a résumé. It is also smart to try at least one activity related to a career or academic field they think they may be interested in. The goal is exploration, not collecting club memberships. Sophomore Year ### Create Something Narrow the list to one or two activities the student actually cares about. Then identify a real community need the student could become passionate about helping with and create a simple philanthropic project that requires bringing other people together. An outdoors student might organize a stream cleanup. A theater student could recruit classmates to perform at a nursing home. Another student might organize a gift drive or beautify a park. Solve a real problem. Bring other people together. Give something back. Junior Year ### Do It Better Repeat the project and use everything learned from the first year to make it more effective, organized, and impactful. Track measurable results: volunteers recruited, money raised, people served, bags of trash collected, gifts donated, or whatever numbers demonstrate the project’s growth. Now the student can show how their leadership improved the project. Senior Year ### Make It Last Repeat it again—even though the college essays may already be finished. If the project is genuinely meaningful and successful, the best outcome may be passing it on to younger students. The student created something other people cared enough about to continue, improved it over several years, and then developed someone else to lead it. That is real leadership. The Bigger Goal ## Imagine thousands of students learning this before they graduate. If students all over the country graduate from high school having learned that they can identify a problem, organize people around it, and make their communities better, the benefit goes far beyond college admissions.

Starting early gives your student time to build a rigorous academic record, raise test scores, develop meaningful leadership, and make thoughtful decisions without the pressure of a last-minute scramble. Start With the Big Picture ## Scholarships are built over time. The goal is not to make freshman year feel like college application season. The goal is to make a few smart decisions now so your student has more options later. A steady plan is more effective—and far less stressful—than trying to accomplish everything during junior and senior year. 01 ### Plan the Academic Path Map out honors, AP, IB, and dual-enrollment opportunities with the school counselor. 02 ### Build Daily Habits Read regularly, protect grades, and develop the study habits harder classes will require. 03 ### Start Early Preparation Establish an ACT baseline and begin improving skills before junior-year demands arrive. 04 ### Create Meaningful Impact Turn a genuine interest into sustained service, leadership, or a community project. Seven Smart Moves ## What freshmen and their families should know Move 01 ### Take Challenging Classes Early—But Be Strategic Students sometimes postpone AP, IB, honors, or other advanced courses until the end of high school. That can create an exhausting junior or senior year filled with several demanding classes at once. It can also leave less time for ACT preparation, extracurricular involvement, leadership, and college applications. Colleges evaluate both academic performance and the rigor of the courses a student selected within the opportunities offered by the school. A thoughtful four-year plan allows students to challenge themselves progressively rather than trying to fit every difficult course into their final semesters. Freshman action step: Meet with the school counselor and map out a four-year course sequence. The goal is the strongest schedule the student can handle successfully—not difficulty for difficulty's sake. Move 02 ### Read Fiction Regularly Twenty minutes of reading a day may be one of the simplest high-impact habits a student can build. Regular reading develops fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, attention span, and an intuitive feel for clear writing. Those skills support performance in ACT English and Reading, but the benefits extend well beyond the test. Students who encounter strong writing regularly are better prepared to communicate their ideas in class, in scholarship applications, and eventually in the college essay. Freshman action step: Let your student choose books they genuinely enjoy. Consistency matters more than selecting the most impressive title. Move 03 ### Cultivate a Meaningful Leadership Project Grades and test scores are important, but they do not tell colleges everything about a student. Colleges and scholarship committees also want evidence of initiative, commitment, leadership, and impact. A leadership project begins with a genuine interest. The student develops skills, identifies a need, brings other people together, and creates something useful for the community. An aspiring actor might organize performances for nursing-home residents. A student who loves animals might lead a sustained volunteer or supply-drive effort for a local shelter. Another student might take meaningful responsibility within an organization that already exists. The project does not need to be enormous. It needs to be authentic, sustained, and student-led. Experiences like these also give students meaningful stories to share in scholarship applications and college essays. Freshman action step: Ask, “What does my student care enough about to keep doing for several years?” Start with the interest; let the project grow from there. Move 04 ### Start Preparing for the ACT Early Many students wait until junior year to think seriously about the ACT. By then, they are often balancing difficult classes, sports, leadership commitments, college visits, and application deadlines. Beginning earlier creates time to build the underlying English, reading, math, and testing skills gradually. An early start does not mean a freshman must spend every evening taking practice tests. It means establishing a baseline, identifying weaknesses, and following a steady plan. Students who reach their target score earlier can redirect their time toward advanced coursework, leadership, Governor's School, and other scholarship-building opportunities. Freshman action step: Consider a baseline assessment during freshman year, followed by focused preparation once the student is academically ready. Choose official test dates strategically with a qualified advisor. Why an early ACT timeline matters  ·  How to build a freshman ACT plan Move 05 ### Explore Governor's School Governor's Schools are selective summer programs that allow students to study an area of interest alongside other motivated students. These experiences can provide academic challenge, exposure to college-style learning, new friendships, and a clearer sense of future goals. Tennessee's programs are generally designed for students entering their junior or senior year. Because applications and eligibility rules vary by program and year, families should begin researching options early and speak with the school counselor about deadlines, nominations, and required materials. Freshman action step: Review the available programs now, identify one or two areas of interest, and use freshman and sophomore year to build the academic record and experiences needed for a competitive application. Move 06 ### Do Not Rush to Graduate Early Without Checking the Scholarship Consequences Graduating early can sound impressive, but finishing high school sooner is not automatically the best financial decision. Students may lose time they could have used to strengthen their ACT score, take advanced courses, lead a meaningful project, or compete for selective summer programs. Families should be especially careful about enrolling in college after high school and then attempting to transfer. Scholarship definitions differ by institution, and some of the most valuable awards are designed specifically for students who apply as first-time freshmen. Transfer students may have different—and sometimes more limited—merit scholarship options. Freshman action step: Before choosing early graduation or post-high-school college enrollment, ask each target university—in writing—how the plan would affect freshman status, transfer status, and scholarship eligibility. Move 07 ### Consider Dual Enrollment as Soon as the Student Is Ready Dual enrollment can allow qualified students to earn high-school and college credit at the same time. Depending on the school district, college, course, and current eligibility rules, some students may be able to begin before junior year. When combined thoughtfully with AP, IB, or other advanced courses, dual enrollment can help students explore academic interests, demonstrate readiness for college-level work, and potentially enter college with significant credit already completed. Earlier is not always better, however. College grades become part of the student's academic record, so the student should enroll only when prepared for the workload, independence, and long-term consequences. Freshman action step: Ask the counselor which dual-enrollment options are available, when students become eligible, what ACT or placement scores are required, how credits transfer, and whether each course fits the student's four-year plan. The Bottom Line ## Start early. Move steadily. Protect your student's options. The students who maximize scholarships usually do not rely on one impressive accomplishment at the end of high school. They build a strong academic record, valuable skills, meaningful leadership, and competitive test scores one decision at a time. Build a Freshman Plan → Scholarship criteria, admissions policies, test requirements, and dual-enrollment rules vary by institution and may change. Confirm all decisions with the appropriate high school, college, university, or scholarship provider. Freshman Scholarship Roadmap --- ## Have You Heard of the Future Authoring Program? URL: https://oaprep.com/2026/08/10/have-you-heard-of-the-future-authoring-program/ Outliers ACT Prep # Have You Heard of the Future Authoring Program? For about $15 and a few hours of your student’s time, it may be one of the highest-return investments you can make in helping them think deliberately about their future. ### A structured way to think about the future. Who do you want to become—and what can you begin doing now to move in that direction? Why We Recommend It ## It is valuable for students who need direction—and students who already have plenty of drive. Future Authoring can be incredibly valuable for a student who feels unmotivated or has little idea what they want to do with their life. But in our experience, it can be just as valuable—maybe even more valuable—for highly motivated students. Motivated students are often working very hard. Future Authoring helps them stop and ask a different question: What am I actually working toward? Outliers ACT Prep has no connection to Future Authoring or the company that sells it. We receive nothing for recommending it. We simply believe in the program and love sharing it with families. What It Is ## A guided way to think seriously about the future. Future Authoring is a structured writing program that helps students imagine what they would like their lives to look like three to five years in the future and then begin building a plan to move toward it. ### First, imagine the future. The program walks students through parts of life they may never have considered deliberately: education, career, relationships, habits, health, friendships, family life, free time, and the kind of person they want to become. ### Then, work backward. Students identify goals, think about why they matter, anticipate obstacles, and begin asking what simple things they can do now that would make that future more likely. Who do I want to become? What kind of life do I want? What can I begin doing now? There Is Research Behind the Idea ## Structured written goal setting has shown meaningful results. In one randomized controlled study, university students who were struggling academically completed a structured written goal-setting intervention. Four months later, they showed greater academic improvement than students in the control group. A much larger study involving nearly 3,000 first-year university students also found that a brief, staged written goal-setting intervention was associated with improved academic performance. Important context: those studies were conducted with university students, not high-school students, so we would not pretend they prove identical results for teenagers. But they provide good evidence for the underlying idea: deliberately thinking through meaningful goals and creating plans for achieving them can matter. 20 min We like the idea of making Future Authoring a small, regular habit rather than rushing through it in one sitting. Don’t Rush It ## The thinking is the valuable part. A student could work on it for around 20 minutes a day, or set aside an hour each week. We especially like the daily approach because it can become a habit instead of another assignment that gets postponed. The student does not need perfect answers. A 15-year-old is allowed to change their mind. In fact, figuring out that you do not want the future you previously imagined is progress too. A Small Investment With a Potentially Long Impact ## Give your student structured time to think about the life they want to build. Parents spend enormous amounts of money preparing their children for the future. For a fraction of that cost, Future Authoring gives students a guided opportunity to think deliberately about who they want to become, what kind of life they want, and what they can begin doing today to move in that direction. We think those are questions worth asking early—and then asking again and again as a student grows.

Families who want more options, less stress, and stronger scores need to take control of the timeline earlier. ACT The Core Problem ## The school schedule was built for the system—not your student. Many schools do not administer a student’s first official ACT until the spring of junior year. That may work for statewide testing, but it leaves little time to pursue major score increases before college and scholarship deadlines. Schools must consider testing costs, staffing, security, accommodations, and the logistics of testing hundreds of students. They also serve students with dramatically different goals. Your family’s timeline should be built around your student’s goals—not around the first date the school can test everyone. School ACT timelines are not designed to maximize scholarships. If scholarships matter to your family, you need to take the timeline into your own hands. Why Students Can Start Early ## The ACT is mostly a foundational-skills test. We often tell families that the ACT is closer to a middle-school skills test than a junior-year knowledge test. That does not mean every Math topic is taught by eighth grade. It means students do not need to complete most of high school before they can begin preparing effectively. #### English It focuses heavily on grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, organization, and clarity—skills students begin learning well before high school. #### Reading It measures speed, comprehension, inference, and evidence. There is no future high-school subject students must complete before improving those skills. #### Science The optional section primarily tests charts, graphs, experiments, and scientific reasoning rather than years of memorized facts. #### Math Math is affected most by high-school coursework, but much of it rests on arithmetic, pre-algebra, and Algebra I. Geometry and Algebra II help, but students can begin improving earlier. By the end of sophomore year, most students have encountered enough mathematics to pursue a very strong score. Even before then, the benefits of starting early usually outweigh the benefits of waiting. What Starting Early Changes ## More runway creates higher scores, more opportunities, and less stress. A large increase is never automatic, but beginning during freshman or sophomore year gives students time to improve one skill at a time instead of trying to fix everything during one frantic junior-year semester. 1 ### A higher scoring ceiling Students get more cycles to test, analyze, prepare, retest, and adjust. For committed students who begin by the spring or summer of sophomore year, even a double-digit increase can become a realistic long-term goal. 2 ### A stronger junior-year PSAT The PSAT/NMSQT is the qualifying test for National Merit. ACT preparation strengthens many of the same grammar, reading, math, pacing, and reasoning skills before most students begin preparing. 3 ### Earlier dual enrollment Many programs require qualifying ACT or placement scores, sometimes in specific sections. An early score gives students time to qualify before opportunities pass. 4 ### Stronger Governor’s School applications Governor’s Schools are selective summer academic programs that can strengthen college applications. Programs have existed in about half of the states, and an early strong score can help when testing is considered. 5 ### More scholarship options Many institutional and state scholarships use published ACT thresholds. One additional point can sometimes unlock thousands of dollars per year—and many awards renew for four years. 6 ### A less stressful junior year Students can enter junior year with the goal reached or with only targeted improvement remaining, leaving more time for advanced classes, leadership, college visits, and applications. Our Ultimate Guide to Scholarships explains why families should prioritize guaranteed institutional and state merit aid—and why reaching ACT scholarship thresholds early can have such a large four-year impact. A Common Objection ## Colleges do not punish students for testing multiple times. A persistent rumor says colleges will view repeated attempts negatively. In practice, colleges focus on the scores required by their policies, and many use superscores or allow students to report their strongest results. In our conversations with hundreds of counselors, we have consistently been told that the number of attempts is almost never used against a student in admissions or scholarship decisions. The current policy: Older ACT materials stated that students could test no more than 12 times. ACT’s current official student guidance now says there is no official limit . Regardless of the formal limit, students should test strategically rather than repeatedly testing without meaningful preparation. A Better Timeline ## Begin with exposure, then build deliberately. Starting early does not mean pressuring a freshman to earn a college-ready score. It means replacing uncertainty with information and giving improvement time to happen. Freshman Year ### Build familiarity Take one realistic Mock ACT to reduce anxiety, learn what the test contains, identify foundational weaknesses, and establish a baseline. Sophomore Year ### Begin deliberate preparation Take another assessment, compare the results, and begin focused preparation. Spring or summer is an excellent starting point for many students. Junior Year ### Refine instead of starting Ideally, begin junior year with the target score achieved or with a strong score requiring only targeted improvement. Senior Year ### Use only as needed Continue testing only when later scores can still affect admissions or scholarships. Senior year should be the backup window—not the original plan. Take Control of the Timeline ## Start with a Mock ACT. The first step is not committing to months of preparation. It is finding out where your student stands. One realistic baseline can reduce anxiety, reveal strengths and weaknesses, and replace a generic school timeline with an individualized plan.

Outliers ACT Prep · ACT Timeline Guide --- ## The Best Colleges Likely Cost Less Than Your State School! URL: https://oaprep.com/2026/07/31/the-best-schools-likely-cost-less-than-your-state-school/ Elite Colleges & Financial Aid # An Ivy League Education May Cost Less Than Your State School Many families assume that an Ivy League or similarly selective university is automatically unaffordable. For a large percentage of families, it may actually cost less than their in-state option. Do Not Self-Reject ## Applying may be far more worthwhile—and affordable—than you realize. We know Ivy League and other highly selective schools are not right for every student. However, the benefits of attending one are likely greater than many families have been led to believe. Students gain access to unusually ambitious peers, world-class faculty, powerful recruiting pipelines, and alumni networks that can continue opening doors for decades. Many qualified students are discouraged from even applying because they assume they will not be accepted or that the price could never be worth it. Yet if your family earns under roughly $150,000 to $200,000 and has assets typical for that income, there is a good chance your student could attend many of the nation’s most selective universities without paying tuition. These are generally need-based grants—not separate merit-scholarship contests. The student applies for admission and financial aid, and the university calculates what the family can reasonably afford. ↑ The upside is measurable. Opportunity Insights found that, compared with attending a highly selective public flagship, attending an Ivy-Plus university increased students’ chances of reaching the top 1% of earners by 60%, attending a top-10 graduate school by about two times, and working for a prestigious employer by about three times. Read the research. Current Tuition-Free Benchmarks ## How much can a family earn and still receive free tuition? The chart below groups current published policies by approximate family-income threshold. Unless otherwise noted, these programs generally assume assets typical for the family’s income. About $250,000 Top published tier Princeton · University of Chicago Princeton: most families up to $250,000 pay no tuition. UChicago’s $250,000 policy begins in fall 2027. About $200,000 Free-tuition benchmark Harvard · Yale · Penn · MIT · Johns Hopkins Qualifying families near or below this level receive grants covering at least tuition, and lower-income families often receive substantially more. $150,000–$175,000 Major middle-income tier Dartmouth · Columbia · Stanford · Vanderbilt · Northwestern · Duke Dartmouth’s threshold is $175,000. The others use approximately $150,000; Northwestern says most qualifying families attend tuition-free, and Duke’s guarantee is limited to North and South Carolina families. $80,000–$125,000 Additional guarantees Brown · UNC–Chapel Hill Brown may cover tuition for qualifying families at or below $125,000. UNC covers tuition and mandatory fees for qualifying North Carolina families below $80,000. These are not hard price guarantees for every family. Assets, household size, divorced-parent finances, residency, and other circumstances can change the offer. Families above the listed thresholds may still receive substantial aid. Always use each school’s official net-price calculator before deciding it is unaffordable. Admission to these universities is never guaranteed. But if your student is near the top of the class, has taken rigorous courses, and has earned an ACT score around 34 or higher, do not reject your student on the university’s behalf. Apply, complete the financial-aid forms, and compare the actual offer with the cost of other colleges. One of the most prestigious schools on your student’s list may also turn out to be one of the least expensive. Start Building the Profile Early ## Do you have a middle schooler or freshman?

Outliers ACT Prep · Elite College Affordability Guide --- ## What Every Middle School Family Should Know URL: https://oaprep.com/2026/07/31/what-every-middle-school-family-should-know/ Outliers ACT Prep # The Simple Middle School Plan That Makes Scholarships Easier Later Your student does not need to be a genius to earn major scholarships or become competitive for top colleges. They just need an earlier start on a few simple things that also make the rest of school much easier. 1 #### Build foundations Fix grammar and math weaknesses while tutoring is still cheap. 2 #### Read every day 20 minutes of fiction helps vocabulary, speed, comprehension, and writing. 3 #### Plan the sequence Be ready for Algebra I in 8th grade when appropriate and protect the freshman GPA. Start With the End in Mind ## Read the scholarship guide first, then build backward. Before continuing, read our Ultimate Guide to Scholarships if you have not already. This article assumes you understand the basics of how scholarships now work: guaranteed institutional scholarships, state merit aid, competitive scholarships, and why families should begin with the end in mind. Once you know which grades, course choices, and ACT scores can unlock major scholarship opportunities, the simple decisions you make during sixth through eighth grade become much easier to understand. The big idea: a few intentional choices during middle school can make high school dramatically easier. Strong foundations, a daily reading habit, the right math sequence, and a plan for freshman year can prevent years of struggle later. Sixth Grade ## Fix the foundations while it is still cheap and easy. Sixth grade is one of the best times to identify and correct weaknesses in math and grammar. Students who never fully master fractions, decimals, percentages, negative numbers, equations, sentence structure, punctuation, and parts of speech often carry those weaknesses into high school. Start with free or low-cost resources. If your student does not improve after a few weeks of consistent work, consider a tutor. A focused semester of tutoring now is usually much cheaper than trying to repair the same problems during Algebra II, ACT prep, or a difficult high-school English course. #### Khan Academy Free self-paced math instruction from middle school through Algebra I and beyond. #### Quill.org Free grammar, proofreading, and sentence-writing practice for grades 3–12. #### CK-12 Free middle-school math lessons and practice that can help rebuild weak foundations. #### IXL Targeted math and language practice. Useful, though full access requires a subscription. Practical tip: Wyzant is a good place to compare tutors by subject, rate, experience, and reviews: wyzant.com . Also in Sixth Grade ## Create a daily reading habit. Get your student reading fiction for fun for at least 20 minutes per day. Do not start with classics just because they sound impressive. The goal is not sophistication. The goal is finding stories your student actually enjoys enough to keep reading. Regular reading improves vocabulary, comprehension, writing, and eventually test performance. More importantly, it makes school easier almost everywhere. #### Great starting options Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games, Ender’s Game, Keeper of the Lost Cities, and Wings of Fire are all strong options depending on the student. #### For reluctant readers Graphic novels, mysteries, sports books, fantasy, science fiction, or audiobooks paired with the physical book can all help build momentum. The best book is usually not the one that looks smartest. It is the one your student will actually finish—and then want to replace with another. The Math Goal ## Be ready for Algebra I in eighth grade—if your student is ready. One purpose of strengthening math in sixth and seventh grade is to give a capable student the option of taking Algebra I in eighth grade. Doing so can open space later for Geometry, Algebra II, Precalculus, Statistics, Calculus, or other advanced math courses and can put the student in a stronger academic position than many peers. We are not saying every student should be pushed into Algebra I early. Readiness matters. A student who has not mastered fractions, ratios, equations, and other pre-algebra skills may struggle and lose confidence. The goal is not to force the label. The goal is to make the option realistic. Eighth Grade ## Make a high-school plan before high school begins. During eighth grade, figure out how your future high school calculates GPA, class rank, honors credit, and weighted grades. Then sketch a four-year plan before freshman registration. Many students hurt their GPA in ninth grade before they realize how much those grades will matter for scholarships, admissions, and class rank. Your student does not need to obsess over becoming valedictorian, but if they are academically capable and simply understand the rules early, they may give themselves a meaningful advantage. Valedictorian is not necessarily the student with the highest IQ. It is the student who finishes with the highest GPA under that school’s system. Even if your student never gets there, aiming high often leaves them with a stronger transcript, better habits, and more options. Freshman Year ## Make straight A’s the default as early as possible. Freshman year is the habit-building year. Use encouragement, accountability, rewards, structure, or whatever healthy incentives work for your family to help your student earn the strongest grades possible from the beginning. The goal is not to panic over an occasional B. The goal is to establish the expectation that assignments get completed, help is requested early, tests are prepared for, and grades are watched before problems become emergencies. Once students experience the confidence and opportunities that come with strong grades, many begin maintaining those habits with much less parental involvement. The Entire Plan ## None of this requires genius-level ability. It requires an earlier start, a little planning, and steady attention to the fundamentals. Do these things, and scholarships, advanced classes, strong ACT scores, and selective-college admissions become much more attainable. More importantly, your student’s entire academic life becomes easier. 1 #### Master foundations Fix middle-school math and grammar weaknesses before they compound. 2 #### Read daily Read something enjoyable for at least 20 minutes per day. 3 #### Prepare for Algebra I Be ready for Algebra I in 8th grade when it is appropriate. 4 #### Learn the GPA system Understand class rank, weighted grades, and the high-school plan early. 5 #### Protect freshman grades Build A-level habits from the first semester of high school.

URL: https://oaprep.com/2026/07/31/why-do-i-have-a-high-gpa-and-a-low-act-score/ Outliers ACT Prep # Why Do I Have a High GPA and a Low ACT Score? A high GPA is good news. It just measures something different from what the ACT measures. 2.8 GPA → 34 ACT One student reached a 34 on her first ACT without any preparation. 4.0 GPA → Below 17 We have also worked with hundreds of 4.0 students who began below a 17. Different measurements Great grades do not automatically translate into mastery-level ACT performance. Different Measures ## A strong student can still have a surprisingly low ACT score. A GPA reflects a combination of academic knowledge and the skills required to succeed in school: completing homework, studying for tests, meeting deadlines, participating in class, and consistently doing what teachers ask. The ACT strips most of that away. It asks students to demonstrate foundational English, Math, Reading, and reasoning skills to a mastery level of understanding . This is especially common with smart students. Many have been able to succeed in school without ever needing to learn how to study deeply. They become very good at choosing what sounds right without fully understanding why the wrong answers are wrong. Unfortunately, that approach breaks down on the ACT. Why the Scores Can Look So Different ## The ACT is mostly testing foundational skills. The ACT is closer to a middle-school foundations test than most families realize. Students have generally been introduced to the grammar tested on English by the end of eighth grade. Reading requires essentially no outside knowledge—it tests how quickly and accurately students can understand what they read. The optional Science section is primarily about interpreting charts, graphs, and experiments. Math is the section most dependent on high-school coursework, particularly Geometry and Algebra II. The challenge is often not learning extraordinarily advanced material. It is developing enough mastery and speed to use foundational skills almost automatically. A disappointing ACT score does not mean a student lacks potential. We have helped hundreds of students achieve increases of eight, nine, ten, or more points. What Can You Do About It? ## Two habits stand out more than GPA when we look at strong starting ACT scores. If your student is still early enough in high school, these are the two places we would focus first. 1 ### Encourage AP or IB classes Students who take AP and IB classes tend to start with stronger ACT scores. We do not see nearly the same pattern with honors or dual-enrollment courses. Those can still be excellent classes, but AP and IB courses seem particularly helpful because they require students to read difficult material, think independently, and perform at a high level on challenging exams. If your student is ready, one or two challenging AP or IB courses at a time can build those skills without overwhelming them. 2 ### Read fiction for 20 minutes every day This may be even more important. The ACT is a timed test, so natural reading speed and comprehension affect almost every section . Speed-reading tricks are not particularly useful because the ACT frequently tests small details. If your student reads fiction they actually enjoy for 20 minutes every day , their natural reading speed and comprehension can gradually improve over months and years. Challenge the brain with AP/IB. Build natural reading speed with 20 minutes of fiction every day. The Takeaway ## A high GPA is worth celebrating. A lower ACT score does not contradict it—it simply reveals a different set of skills that still need development. If your student is young enough, encourage them to challenge themselves with AP or IB classes and get them reading fiction for 20 minutes every day. Those habits can give them a much stronger foundation before they ever begin formal ACT preparation. And remember that nearly any ACT increase can still be possible when a student starts early enough. We have found that the spring or summer of sophomore year is the ideal time to begin focused preparation. Find the Starting Point ## Begin with a realistic Mock ACT.

URL: https://oaprep.com/2026/07/31/does-taking-the-act-multiple-times-hurt-college-admissions-or-scholarships/ ACT Admissions Myth # Does Taking the ACT Multiple Times Hurt College Admissions or Scholarships? One of the most persistent ACT rumors tells students they only have a few acceptable chances to test. We have found the opposite: the rumor itself is often what hurts students. 75% of the colleges tracked by Compass Education Group currently superscore the ACT. More attempts can mean more opportunities. At a superscoring school, your best section scores from different test dates can work together. No prize for doing it in one try. The goal is the strongest score you are capable of earning before your deadlines. The Rumor ## “Won’t it look bad if I take the ACT too many times?” Parents sometimes worry that an admissions officer will see four, five, or six ACT attempts and think less of a student who needed multiple tries to earn a strong score. After years of working in ACT preparation, I have asked countless college admissions professionals this exact question, including professionals at Ivy League universities and colleges across the country. I have never had one tell me that the number of ACT attempts influenced an admissions or scholarship decision. I have never even heard one say they cared. The myth is not harmless. It can convince students to stop testing while there are still points—and potentially scholarship opportunities—left on the table. Pressure Matters ## The rumor makes an already stressful test even harder. The ACT already carries enormous pressure. Now imagine a student believing they only have one or two chances to get the score they need. Suddenly, one Saturday morning can feel like it will determine where they go to college, how much scholarship money they receive, and how much debt they may take on. That is a terrible psychological environment for performing well. A healthier mindset: “I am going to give this test everything I have. But if today is not my best day, I will learn from it, keep preparing, and take it again.” Taking the ACT multiple times does not have to add pressure. It can dramatically reduce it. 75% of the colleges Compass tracks currently superscore the ACT Why Multiple Tests Matter ## Superscoring changes the entire ACT strategy. A superscore combines a student's highest section scores from different ACT test dates. That means English, Math, and Reading do not necessarily have to peak on the same Saturday. Maybe a student earns their best English score in September, their best Math score in October, and their best Reading score in December. At a college that superscores, those performances can work together to create the student's strongest ACT score. Every ACT becomes another opportunity to add a point to the superscore. Source: Compass Education Group's current ACT policy tracking . Students should always confirm the current admissions and scholarship policy of each college on their list. Our Recommended Approach ## Use a superscore strategy instead of trying to raise everything at once. Students should still give their best effort on every section of every ACT. But their preparation between tests can be much more focused. 1 ### Spend a month or more attacking English or Math Choose the section with the biggest opportunity and work on it deeply. English and Math contain larger bodies of skills and content, so they benefit from sustained preparation. 2 ### Shift toward Reading one to two weeks before the test Reading is especially timing-heavy. We want pacing, passage strategy, and the feel of the section fresh when the student walks into the testing center. Still give everything you have on every section. Students regularly surprise themselves with improvements in areas they were not targeting. The advantage is psychological: they do not have to walk into every ACT believing their entire Composite must jump that day. The Bottom Line ## There is no prize for earning your best ACT score on your first attempt. Some students reach their goal after two tests. Others need four, five, six, or more. If there is still time before admissions and scholarship deadlines—and there are still realistic points available—do not stop simply because someone told you that taking the ACT “too many times” will look bad. For many students, the greater danger is not taking the ACT too many times. It is stopping too soon because they believed a rumor that convinced them not to try again. Start Before the Pressure Builds ## Take a Mock ACT with Outliers One of the best ways to reduce ACT anxiety is to make the test familiar. Even if your student is only in 7th or 8th grade, a Mock ACT can be a great opportunity to get the test under their belt, understand the content and skills it covers, and begin removing some of the anxiety that can build around the ACT long before test day. Take a Mock ACT → ### Sources & further reading Compass Education Group — ACT superscoring and testing-policy tracking ACT — How ACT Superscoring Works Admissions, scholarship, and superscoring policies vary by institution and may change. Always confirm current policies directly with each college or scholarship provider. Outliers ACT Prep · ACT Strategy Guide --- ## Should I Take the ACT Science? URL: https://oaprep.com/2026/07/31/should-i-take-the-act-science/ Outliers ACT Prep # Should I Take the ACT Science Section? For most students, our answer is yes. YES ### It may create upside. Some colleges and scholarship programs can use Science when it improves the score that matters—and ignore it when it does not. Science Is Now Optional ## But optional does not necessarily mean you should skip it. ACT Science is now optional, and the standard ACT Composite is calculated using only English, Math, and Reading. Colleges, however, are allowed to decide for themselves how they use the optional Science score. That creates an interesting opportunity. If Science can raise a score a college or scholarship program uses—but is ignored when it lowers that score—the student gets potential upside without the same downside. How Some Schools Are Using Science ## There is no single policy. A few examples show why taking the section can still matter. UT Knoxville ### Science can help the superscore. The University of Tennessee, Knoxville will include Science in its superscore only when doing so raises the student’s score. If Science lowers it, UT leaves it out. Vanderbilt ### Science “can only help.” Vanderbilt uses essentially the same approach: Science can be included when it improves the superscore and left out when it does not. Florida Bright Futures ### The higher calculation wins. Florida’s Bright Futures Scholarship program calculates the ACT with and without Science and uses whichever result is higher. Other schools use different approaches. UGA, Clemson, the University of South Carolina, and the University of Florida currently calculate ACT superscores without Science, while Duke encourages students—particularly prospective STEM students—to take Science and will consider the score when submitted. So What Should You Do? ## Let your college list decide when you have one. If you already know exactly where you are applying, check each college’s policy. “If my ACT Science score improves my superscore, will you use it for admissions, scholarships, or both?” But if you do not know where you will eventually apply, we recommend taking Science. You may end up applying somewhere that ignores it. Or you may end up applying somewhere where that Science score gives you one more chance to raise the number that matters.

At Farragut High School, I was a horrible student. I barely went to class, had to retake Algebra I five times, and eventually dropped out altogether. I tried to make it in the real world without a high school diploma—and quickly realized life wasn’t going to unfold the way I had hoped. So I made a choice. I got my GED and enrolled at Pellissippi State Community College. There, everything changed. I was fortunate to have mentors take me under their wings and teach me how to be successful—not just in school, but in life. It worked. I made nearly a perfect 100% in every math class I took. I became president of the student body, earned a 3.84 GPA, and was named to USA Today’s All-Tennessee Academic Team —all before transferring to Maryville College, where I completed my degree. ### The Birth of a Mission While at Maryville College, my friend Ransford Sarfo started a nonprofit called P.E.A.C.E. — Peers Encouraging the Achievement of a College Education . I joined soon after, and together we began recruiting college students who had overcome at-risk pasts to speak in high schools serving at-risk students. At these events, we shared our stories and helped students connect the dots between their dreams and the doors college could open. We then paired them with mentors who not only helped them get to college, but also made sure they were ready to succeed once they arrived. The program was a hit—and in 2014, it was recognized with the Harold Love Outstanding Community Service Award by the State of Tennessee. After graduation, Ransford and I wanted to find a way to make P.E.A.C.E. sustainable  full-time. The one thing we had that aligned with our mission  and was monetizable was ACT prep. So,  I started offering ACT coaching on the side to see if there was demand. It turned out there was—more than I expected. I filled up, started hiring other coaches, and that’s how our ACT program was born... 13 years ago. ### How Far We’ve Come What started as a side hustle to support a nonprofit mission has grown into a nationally recognized program that’s helped thousands of students rewrite their academic stories. • Thousands of students coached • Students from 21 states and counting • A team of 15+ passionate staff and coaches • A mission that goes far beyond test scores We’ve come a long way since those early P.E.A.C.E. events—but our heart is still the same: helping students transform their lives through belief, mentorship, and opportunity. ## Our Mission We help students transform the trajectory of their lives by: • Fostering belief in themselves • Building the character and habits that drive long-term success • Equipping them with the skills to pursue meaningful, challenging goals—on the ACT and in life We train students for the ACT like elite athletes train for a major event. The test becomes a proving ground—a chance to practice high-performance strategies, develop resilience, and see tangible growth. While a higher ACT score is a powerful outcome, it’s the personal growth our students go through to get there that matters most. The tools they build in our program help them pursue—and achieve—big goals long after test day. ## What Makes Us Different In business, we try to be the change we want to see in education: • We’re one of the only programs in the country with a five-point composite increase guarantee . • We offer a 34+ Guaranteed Year-Long Program for students starting at 28+. • And we’ve honored our guarantees— every family who was unsatisfied and asked has received part or all of their money back . We don’t believe in “commitments” that aren’t backed by results. Our programs are rigorous, and the guarantee depends on students putting in the work. But when they do—transformation happens. ## What’s Next Why the change? In short, we’ve outgrown our original name—and the ACT organization asked us to choose a new one. We took that opportunity to pick something that reflects what we’ve been doing all along: helping students rise above the average, grow in confidence and character, and become true outliers—in testing and in life. We’re still the same team. Still offering the five-point guarantee. Still challenging students to think bigger, show up fully, and grow every week. Only now—we’ve got a name that matches what we truly stand for. We produce outliers. We’ve worked with students in 21 states—and we’re just getting started. Our vision is to become the world leader in high-impact ACT prep for students aiming for five-point increases and beyond.

URL: https://oaprep.com/2026/07/31/how-soon-should-you-start-act-prep/ Outliers ACT Prep # When Should a Student Begin Preparing for the ACT? For most students, the ideal time to begin focused ACT preparation is the spring of sophomore year or the summer before junior year. 9 #### Freshman year Take one realistic Mock ACT and identify foundational weaknesses. 10 #### Spring or summer Complete one intensive ACT preparation program. 11 #### Junior year Refine the score with focused preparation before later tests. The Ideal Starting Point ## Do not let the school-administered ACT determine your student’s timeline. Most students wait until the spring of junior year to begin thinking seriously about the ACT because that is when their school administers their first official test. Unfortunately, waiting that long leaves far less time to pursue a major score increase before college and scholarship deadlines. For most students, the ideal time to begin focused ACT preparation is the spring of sophomore year or the summer before junior year. Why Start Before Junior Year? ## Four advantages most families miss. There are many benefits to preparing early, but these four matter most. 1 ### Stand out on the PSAT Very few students complete serious test preparation before the junior-year PSAT. ACT preparation strengthens many of the same grammar, reading, math, pacing, and reasoning skills, giving your student an opportunity to stand out, pursue National Merit recognition, and potentially attract college attention earlier. 2 ### Unlock dual enrollment Many dual-enrollment programs require students to reach certain ACT composite or section scores before participating. Earning those scores early allows students to use opportunities that may otherwise pass before they qualify. 3 ### Strengthen Governor’s School applications Governor’s School programs are offered in more than half of the states and can be highly competitive. A strong ACT score compared with a student’s peers can help that student stand out when applying. 4 ### Create time for a major increase Most importantly, beginning before junior year leaves enough time to test, analyze weaknesses, prepare, retest, and adjust the plan—creating time to pursue almost any increase a student could want. The goal is not to make the ACT dominate high school. The goal is to finish it early enough that it does not dominate junior and senior year. A Common Objection ## “But they haven’t taken all the classes yet.” The ACT is closer to a middle-school skills test than a junior-year knowledge test. Everything tested on English has generally been introduced by the end of eighth grade; students need to master grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, organization, and clarity—not wait for another high-school English class. Reading does not test outside knowledge; students already know how to read, and greater speed and comprehension come primarily from reading more. The optional Science section mostly tests whether students can interpret charts, experiments, and evidence. Math is the section most affected by later coursework, but students can begin with arithmetic, pre-algebra, Algebra I, and the other sections while adding Geometry and Algebra II concepts as they learn them. By the end of sophomore year, most students have completed enough coursework to pursue a very strong overall score. We have freshmen who have earned a 36 on the ACT. That would not be possible—regardless of how talented they are—if students needed to complete all of high school before they could master the test. What Starting Early Really Means ## It does not mean years of intensive preparation. We are not recommending that every freshman spend four years preparing for the ACT. A freshman can simply take one realistic Mock ACT to become familiar with the test and identify major foundational weaknesses. That exposes the student to the material they need to learn so they can make sure to learn it as they move through school. Then, in the spring or summer of sophomore year, the student should complete one intensive 13-week program. After that, the student might complete a small amount of weekly preparation during the three to six weeks before each subsequent ACT. Most students can achieve their goal score before junior year ends. Some will even achieve a 34 or above before junior year begins. The Best ACT Timeline ## Start with exposure, prepare intensively once, and then refine. Freshman Year ### Establish a baseline Take one realistic Mock ACT and identify foundational weaknesses. Spring or Summer After Sophomore Year ### Complete intensive preparation Complete an intensive ACT preparation program designed to add around five points to the student’s score. Junior Year ### Refine until the goal is reached Use weekly preparation during the three to six weeks before each test and pursue an additional one or two points per attempt until the desired score is achieved. Find the Right Starting Point ## Begin with a realistic Mock ACT. One baseline test can reveal where your student stands, identify the skills that need attention, and help your family build the right timeline.

That means we are a for-profit company, but our purpose goes beyond making money. Our certificate of incorporation includes a clear public benefit mission, and that mission shapes the way we make decisions and measure success. ## Our Vision We are a group of people with different backgrounds, personalities, and worldviews, united by one mission: helping students change the direction of their lives by building belief, developing character, and learning how to achieve difficult goals. ACT prep is where that work begins. We train students with the structure, discipline, repetition, and coaching an elite athlete would use to prepare for competition. More than 74% of students who complete the recommended 13-week program improve their composite score by at least five points or earn a superscore of 32 or higher. The larger goal is growth. Students learn how to stay consistent, respond to setbacks, solve problems, and find a way forward. Those lessons can carry into college, work, leadership, and life. For some alumni, the journey continues through the opportunity to work with Outliers. We hire former students as coaches and as members of our administrative, marketing, and technology teams, where they continue developing leadership, communication, problem-solving, and professional skills. Our long-term vision is to build a family of organizations focused on human development. We hope alumni will eventually open new Outliers branches, launch companies, become achievement coaches, lead nonprofit efforts, or help build future sister organizations. ACT prep is the cornerstone, but it is only the beginning. ## Our Purpose To help students transform their lives by building belief, character, and high-impact skills. ## Our Core Values #### We treat people right. This is the starting point for everything we do. We want to treat students, parents, employees, partners, and each other with respect and fairness. #### We do what we say, or we make it right. We take our commitments seriously. When we fall short, we own it and do our best to fix it. #### We are open to being wrong. Changing your mind after receiving better information is a strength, not a weakness. We encourage honest and respectful feedback at every level of the company. #### We believe in forgiveness. Everyone makes mistakes. What matters is taking responsibility, making a sincere effort to repair the damage, and learning from what happened. #### We are family-friendly. We want Outliers to be a place where people can do meaningful work while still being present for their families and living balanced lives. #### We have thick skin. We joke, debate, disagree, and speak honestly. We welcome different personalities and points of view as long as people continue to treat one another with respect. ## How We Work #### Freedom-first culture We believe people often do their best work when they have freedom and control over their lives. Team members have flexibility over their schedules, projects, and time off as long as they meet their responsibilities and most positions are fully remote. #### A path toward financial freedom We want long-term team members to have opportunities to earn residual income, build wealth, and create greater financial independence. #### Purpose over profit We do not want outside shareholders pushing us toward short-term decisions that conflict with our mission. #### We find a way We do not stop at identifying problems. We look for solutions and keep moving forward. #### Extreme ownership We take responsibility for fixing problems, even when we were not the ones who caused them. #### We hire from within Whenever possible, we hire alumni who already understand our program, culture, and expectations. #### No gossip When there is a problem, we talk directly to the person involved instead of talking around them. #### Accountability Whenever possible, we back our services with a money-back guarantee. #### We only launch what we believe we can lead Before starting a new venture, we ask whether we can become the best, most affordable, or fastest option in the category. ## 2025 Annual Benefit Report ## Academic Impact • 22 students earned a perfect score of 36 on at least one ACT section. • 22 students improved their composite score by 9 or more points, up from 17 the previous year. • 35 students improved their composite score by 8 or more points, up from 25. • 58 students improved their composite score by 7 or more points, up from 40. • 87 students improved their composite score by 6 or more points, up from 64. • 63 students improved their ACT English score by 8 or more points, down from 66. ## Expanding Opportunity We awarded $4,796 in scholarships to help students with financial need participate in our program. ## Educational Outreach #### Mock ACT Events A total of 609 students participated in mock ACT experiences hosted by Outliers and through partnerships with area schools. #### School Programs We provided educational programming in coordination with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s BETS program and several school partners. ### ### Top Students Impacted! --- ## 2024 Outliers ACT Prep Annual Benefit Report URL: https://oaprep.com/2025/06/19/2024-outliers-act-prep-annual-benefit-report/ # Outliers ACT Prep: A Public Benefit Corporation As a Public Benefit Corporation, we operate as a for-profit company with a clearly defined social mission. Our public benefit purpose, outlined in our certificate of incorporation, guides us to deliver lasting, positive impact—not just profits. ## Our Vision We are a group of very different people with diverse worldviews, united by one mission: We help students transform the trajectory of their lives by fostering belief, building character, and training them in skill sets to achieve their goals in life. Our ACT prep company is the cornerstone, but it is only the beginning of our vision. Our plan is that one day we will be a conglomeration of human-development-based organizations that span communities worldwide.  Our ACT prep program is exceptional. We train for the ACT like an elite athlete trains for an event.  More than 74% of students who put in the recommended 1.5-2 hours per day, six days per week for the 13-week duration of the program achieve at least a five-point composite increase or hit at least a 32 superscore. More importantly, the ACT is actually just a proving ground for us to teach students how to achieve hard goals. Students can take the tools, success principles, character, and find-a-way mentality they learn in the program and apply it to tackle many challenging future undertakings. Our Leadership and Life Development Program. For most students, their journey with us ends after they graduate from the program. However, our aim is to hire more and more of our top alumni to work with us at Outliers ACT Prep. For the alumni we hire, this is just a continuation of the leadership and life development program they started as an Outliers' student. Whether alumni join our coaching staff, admin team, marketing team, or tech team, every element of our company is designed to cultivate leadership, professional growth, and the ability to overcome tough challenges. We are preparing them with all of the skills necessary to start or run other organizations or divisions.  Becoming a conglomeration of human-development-based organizations. Our plan is that our college student alumni love working with us so much that many of them decide to continue working with us full-time after they graduate from college. That might look like planting a branch of Outliers in a new city (for which they will receive a residual income for the rest of their life), starting a new company via our business incubator, building their personal brand and becoming an achievement coach via our agency, working at or helping run one of our not-for-profits, or joining the crew at one of our sister companies. ### Our Purpose To help students transform their lives by building belief, character, and high-impact skill sets. ### Our Guiding Belief We treat people right. ### Core Values • We treat people right. • We do what we say—or make it right. • We are open to being wrong.

They need to identify what is holding them back, focus their time on the areas that will produce the greatest return, and train consistently enough for those improvements to become automatic. There are hundreds of ACT tricks online, but tricks alone rarely produce major score increases. The students who improve the most combine strong foundational knowledge, effective testing strategies, targeted practice, careful review, and consistent effort. Here are the five recommendations we believe make the greatest difference. ## First, Understand the Current ACT The current ACT is shorter than the previous version. The Composite score is now calculated using English, Math, and Reading. Science is optional and, when taken, produces a separate Science score and contributes to the student’s STEM score—not the Composite. English 50 questions 35 minutes Math 45 questions 50 minutes Reading 36 questions 40 minutes Science 40 questions 40 minutes Optional The ACT still uses a 1–36 scale, and there is no penalty for incorrect answers. Students should answer every question, even when they need to guess. 1 ### Begin With an Accurate Diagnostic Test Before students decide what or how to study, they need an accurate starting point. A complete, timed ACT provides far more useful information than a school grade, PreACT estimate, or collection of untimed practice questions. The goal is not merely to learn the Composite score. A good diagnostic should reveal: • Which sections offer the greatest opportunity for improvement • Which content areas are creating the most missed questions • Whether timing, knowledge, strategy, or endurance is the primary problem • How the student performs under realistic testing conditions Once students know why they are missing questions, they can stop wasting time on material they already understand and focus on the gaps that actually limit their scores. Our recommendation: Take a complete official ACT or a properly proctored Mock ACT before beginning serious preparation. 2 ### Rebuild the Foundation Before Chasing Tricks Testing strategies matter, but strategies cannot replace missing knowledge. A student who never mastered punctuation, fractions, functions, geometry, or reading comprehension will eventually reach a ceiling if those gaps remain unresolved. Some ACT weaknesses begin with material taught in middle school. Others involve advanced concepts students may not yet have learned. Effective preparation must diagnose and repair gaps across that entire range. Students should prioritize the skills that appear frequently and support many different questions. For example, mastering sentence structure can improve performance across much of English, while strengthening algebraic manipulation can unlock several areas of Math. Our recommendation: Use test results to create a ranked list of knowledge gaps, then master the highest-value weaknesses one at a time. 3 ### Practice Consistently—Not Just When Motivation Appears A few marathon study sessions rarely produce the same results as focused work completed consistently. Students need enough repetition for skills, strategies, and pacing decisions to become automatic under pressure. A strong ACT plan tells students exactly what to do each day. It should adjust as their needs change instead of giving every student the same workbook pages or generic assignments. Consistency also makes it easier to identify what is working. When students test regularly and complete targeted training between those tests, they can see whether each skill is actually improving. Our recommendation: Schedule ACT preparation into the week just like a class, practice, job, or workout. Do not rely on finding extra time. 4 ### Study Every Missed—or Guessed—Question Completing practice questions is only the beginning. Most improvement happens during the review that follows. Students should review questions they missed, guessed on, or answered correctly for the wrong reason. For each one, they should determine: • Why their original approach failed • Why the correct answer is correct • What knowledge or strategy would have prevented the mistake • How they will recognize a similar question next time Simply reading an answer explanation is often not enough. Students should retry the problem, explain the solution in their own words, and complete additional targeted practice until the underlying weakness is gone. Our recommendation: Treat every mistake as diagnostic information. Do not move on until you understand what caused it and how to prevent it. 5 ### Train Under Real Timing and Take the ACT More Than Once Knowing how to solve a question is different from solving it accurately under ACT timing. Students must practice making decisions, maintaining focus, recovering from difficult questions, and moving forward before one problem consumes too much time. Timed section tests are valuable, but students also need complete practice tests. Full tests reveal endurance problems and help students develop routines for breaks, pacing, food, sleep, and test-day stress. Students should also plan to take the official ACT multiple times when possible. Because many colleges accept superscores, each test can create another opportunity to improve an individual section. Students should still verify the score policies of their specific colleges and scholarship programs. Our recommendation: Build toward timed sections and full official practice tests, then schedule multiple official ACT opportunities before important admissions and scholarship deadlines. ## What About ACT Science? Science is now optional and does not affect the ACT Composite score. That does not mean every student should automatically skip it. Students considering STEM majors, selective programs, or colleges that recommend or require Science should research those policies carefully. A strong Science score may also help demonstrate scientific reasoning and contribute to the ACT STEM score. For a more detailed breakdown, read our guide: Should I Take ACT Science? ## The Bottom Line Major ACT improvement is rarely the result of one secret trick. It comes from diagnosing the right problems, rebuilding weak foundations, following a consistent plan, learning deeply from mistakes, and practicing until strong performance can be repeated under pressure. The process is demanding, but it is also learnable. With the right plan and enough consistent effort, students can improve far beyond what their first score might suggest. ## Ready to Build Your ACT Plan?

About $2,100 Based on current published scholarship tables at four Tennessee universities, each additional ACT point from 21 through 36 is associated with approximately $2,100 in additional institutional scholarships over four years, on average. That does not mean every student’s next point will add $2,100. Some points add nothing, while a point that crosses an important threshold can unlock thousands. ## Why one ACT point does not have one fixed price Scholarships work like stairs, not ramps. Moving from a 26 to a 27 might unlock a new award at one college, while moving from a 27 to a 28 might change nothing there. The same score can also be worth more or less depending on the student’s GPA and whether a college accepts an ACT superscore. That is why families should ask a more useful question: What is the next scholarship threshold at each college my student is seriously considering? ## How we calculated the $2,100 average We examined every ACT score increase from 21 through 36 at four Tennessee universities with clear, usable ACT-based scholarship tables. Unlike an average based only on successful threshold jumps, this method includes the score increases that produce $0 in additional institutional aid. $2,400 ### UT Knoxville Approximate scholarship growth per ACT point over four years. $2,133 ### Middle Tennessee State Approximate scholarship growth per ACT point over four years. $2,667 ### Tennessee Tech Approximate scholarship growth per ACT point over four years. $1,333 ### East Tennessee State Approximate scholarship growth per ACT point over four years. Together, these published tables produce an average of approximately $2,133 per ACT point over four years . We round that figure to $2,100 per point because scholarship amounts and eligibility rules change regularly. Important: This is an average across a defined score range, not a promise that a student’s next ACT point will produce $2,100. Students must also meet the applicable GPA, residency, application, deadline, and renewal requirements. ## Current Tennessee scholarship thresholds The table below summarizes several published institutional awards for Tennessee residents. HOPE is discussed separately because many students qualify for it through GPA without needing a particular ACT score. College Minimum GPA ACT threshold Annual award Four-year value UT Knoxville Orange & White 3.6 UT weighted core 24 $1,500 $6,000 UT Knoxville Volunteer 3.8 UT weighted core 28 / 30 / 34 $3,000 / $5,000 / $9,000 $12,000 / $20,000 / $36,000 MTSU Guaranteed merit 3.50 22 / 25 / 30 / 34 $3,500 / $4,500 / $5,000 / $8,000 $14,000 / $18,000 / $20,000 / $32,000 Tennessee Tech Presidential Scholars 3.40–3.75 23 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 36 $3,000–$10,000 $12,000–$40,000 ETSU Academic Performance Scholarship 3.5–4.0 22 / 25 / 26 / 27 / 30 $2,000–$5,000 $8,000–$20,000 UT Knoxville’s currently published Volunteer table labels its amounts as 2025–26 and notes that programs are reviewed annually. Families should confirm the award table for the student’s entry year. ## Crossing a threshold is often worth much more than $2,100 Among the 19 ACT-triggered scholarship increases in our current dataset, crossing a published threshold changed the nominal four-year award by approximately $8,000 on average . The median threshold increase was $6,000 . This is not the average value of every ACT point; it is the average value of the particular points that unlocked a higher award. ### 29 to 30 at UT Knoxville With a qualifying 3.8+ UT weighted core GPA, entering the 30–33 Volunteer tier increases the institutional award by $8,000 over four years . ### 34 to 35 at Tennessee Tech With a qualifying 3.75+ GPA, the award rises from $5,000 to $8,000 per year—a $12,000 four-year difference . ### 26 to 27 at ETSU With a qualifying 3.5+ GPA, the APS award rises by $1,000 per year—a $4,000 four-year difference . ### 21 to 22 at MTSU With the required 3.50 GPA and deadline met, a 22 reaches a scholarship with a nominal $14,000 four-year value . ## Do not forget Tennessee HOPE An eligible Tennessee high-school graduate can qualify for HOPE with a 21 ACT or a qualifying 3.0 GPA . For a full-time student attending fall and spring, the published payments total up to $20,400 across four academic years : $4,500 per year during the first two years and $5,700 per year during the final two. Students who meet both a 3.75 final GPA and a 29 ACT may qualify for the General Assembly Merit Scholarship supplement. That adds $500 per full-time semester—normally $1,000 for a fall-and-spring academic year. Summer enrollment can affect the calendar-year maximum. Because many Tennessee students qualify for HOPE through GPA alone, we did not include HOPE in the $2,100 institutional-scholarship average. For a student whose GPA does not independently qualify, however, reaching a 21 ACT can be an especially valuable financial threshold. ## Search current scholarships by ACT score and GPA Our free scholarship guides help families compare published awards, GPA requirements, score thresholds, superscore policies, deadlines, tuition, and remaining tuition estimates. Explore It Pays to Prep Tennessee Explore It Pays to Prep U.S. ## How families should use this information 1. Build the college list first. A score increase is most valuable when it crosses a threshold at a college the student would genuinely consider. 2. Check the GPA definition. Colleges may use a weighted, unweighted, core, or sixth-semester GPA. 3. Check superscore rules. UT Knoxville superscores, while Tennessee Tech states that superscores cannot be used for scholarship eligibility. 4. Work backward from scholarship deadlines. A scholarship deadline may arrive earlier than the regular admission deadline. 5. Compare net price—not just the award. A larger scholarship at a more expensive college can still leave a larger bill. 6. Verify renewal requirements. Full-time enrollment, college GPA, service hours, and satisfactory academic progress may all matter. ## The bottom line Across the four Tennessee universities in this analysis, one additional ACT point is associated with approximately $2,100 in additional four-year institutional scholarships, on average . The value is personal and stepwise. The best target is not simply “one more point.” It is the next verified scholarship threshold at the colleges that fit the student academically, financially, and personally. ## Sources and methodology Verified August 24, 2026 using official scholarship information from UT Knoxville , MTSU , Tennessee Tech , ETSU , and the Tennessee HOPE program summary . Scholarship rules and award amounts can change. Always verify information directly with the college and the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation before relying on an estimate. --- ## About Outliers ACT Prep URL: https://oaprep.com/2026/03/07/about-outliers-act-prep/ About Outliers ACT Prep # Transforming trajectories.

Its origin story is not one of perfect credentials from the start, but of radical change through mentorship, accountability, and persistent effort. Before 2012 #### A founder shaped by the hard way Bobby Nicholson has described himself as a struggling student in high school. After dropping out, earning his GED, and enrolling at Pellissippi State, he encountered mentors who taught him how to succeed and helped reshape the direction of his life. 2012 #### The official beginning Outliers ACT Prep officially began on January 1, 2012. The early work grew out of mission-driven tutoring and the belief that consistent support over time changes outcomes. 2016–2017 #### The shift to ACT prep at scale After an ACT prep experience with the University of Tennessee’s BETS program, it became clear that high-impact ACT prep could be delivered effectively in a group setting. In 2017, Outliers committed fully to becoming world-class at ACT prep. 2017+ #### The team-based model takes shape The first in-house ACT class launched in a competitive, team-based format. That early experiment became the backbone of the Outliers model: live coaching, visible effort, and community-driven motivation.

URL: https://oaprep.com/2026/08/25/why-does-so-much-act-prep-fail-and-what-actually-works/ OA Outliers ACT Prep # Why Does So Much ACT Prep Fail? Before you enroll your student in another class or hire another tutor, it helps to understand why so many students complete ACT prep without meaningfully improving—and what a program must do differently to produce real results. The Question Parents Should Ask Will this program teach my student—or train my student? That difference explains why a program can cover plenty of material while producing very little improvement. The Frustrating Pattern ## “My student already tried ACT prep. Why didn't it work?” We regularly meet students who have taken a semester-long ACT class, worked with a tutor, or completed an online program and watched their score stay almost exactly the same. Understandably, they conclude that ACT prep does not work for them—or that they are simply bad test takers. Usually, neither conclusion is correct. The more likely explanation is that the student was exposed to ACT material without mastering it. The program taught lessons, assigned questions, and perhaps offered strategies. But it never created the level of knowledge, repetition, feedback, and accountability required to change what the student could actually do on test day. Completing an ACT-prep program and becoming better at the ACT are not the same thing. Why School Programs Often Struggle ## Good teachers are often asked to do an almost impossible job. Many school ACT programs are led by caring and capable teachers. The problem is the situation in which those teachers are placed. A teacher may attend a short certification course and then be expected to become an ACT expert. A few days of training can provide a useful introduction, but the ACT is a highly specialized test. It takes extensive experience to understand its patterns, diagnose why students are missing questions, and separate strategies that sound good from strategies that consistently work. An instructor does not have to earn a spectacular ACT score to become an effective teacher. But personal mastery matters. Someone who has not mastered the test is less likely to recognize subtle differences between good and bad advice—and there is an enormous amount of bad ACT advice available. The greatest limitation, however, is usually not the teacher. It is buy-in. Students are often placed into school ACT prep without choosing it. They have not connected a target score to a college or scholarship they care about. They have not agreed to practice consistently. In many cases, no one has even explained what meaningful improvement will require. A teacher can provide instruction, but a teacher cannot create mastery on a student's behalf—especially when the student never chose the goal or committed to the process. The Difference That Matters ## The ACT does not reward exposure. It rewards mastery. Students often tell us, “I know the material. I am just a bad test taker.” Sometimes anxiety or pacing really is the primary problem. More often, “I know it” means “I have seen it before” or “I understand it when someone explains it to me.” The ACT is the grand champion of presenting familiar material in unfamiliar ways. A student may recognize a grammar rule when it is labeled on a worksheet but fail to see that same rule inside a complicated sentence. A student may solve a straightforward algebra problem but struggle when the ACT disguises the concept inside a word problem filled with unnecessary information. Real mastery means the student can recognize the concept without being told what it is, choose the right process independently, explain why the answer is correct, and execute the process accurately within the ACT's time limits. That cannot be created by hearing an explanation once or completing a stack of worksheets. This is why ACT prep is better understood as training for a sport or learning a musical instrument. A basketball player does not develop a reliable free throw by attending a lecture about shooting. A pianist does not become excellent by watching someone else play. Both must perform the skill repeatedly, receive feedback, correct mistakes, and continue until the right process becomes increasingly automatic under pressure. More practice questions are not automatically better. A student who repeats the same faulty process hundreds of times may simply become faster at making the same mistake. What Effective Prep Does First ## A great program begins with the student—not the curriculum. Before teaching punctuation, algebra, reading strategies, or pacing, a program should help the student understand why improving matters. A score may open a college option, qualify the student for a scholarship, reduce future debt, or prove something important to the student personally. If the student cannot connect the work to something they want, they are unlikely to push through the frustration and failure that serious training inevitably includes. The student must also believe improvement is possible. Students who have already completed an ineffective program often arrive convinced that they tried ACT prep and it did not work for them. A strong program helps them see credible examples of students who began near their score and achieved the kind of increase they want. Those examples do not guarantee the same result, but they help the student believe that the work may be worth doing. Then the program must be honest about the cost. If a student's goal will require focused practice nearly every day, the student should know that before enrolling. The expectations should be specific, and the student should have an opportunity to agree—or decline—to meet them. A student should not merely agree that they want the result. They should understand and agree to the process required to pursue it. How Parents Can Choose Better ## What should you look for in an ACT-prep program? Once a student wants the goal and understands the commitment, the program must be capable of turning effort into improvement. Parents do not need to evaluate every worksheet or teaching strategy. They can learn a great deal by asking a few direct questions. • Has the instructor mastered the ACT? Ideally, the primary instructor has earned at least the score your student wants and preferably a 34 or higher. A high score does not prove someone can teach, but it is meaningful evidence that the person deeply understands the test. • Has the program repeatedly produced the kind of increase your student needs? Helping a student move from a 19 to a 24 is not the same challenge as helping a student move from a 30 to a 34. Ask for outcomes that resemble your student's starting point and goal. • Does the program primarily use authentic ACT tests and questions? Third-party material can help, but imitations rarely reproduce the ACT's wording, distractors, reasoning, and pacing perfectly. Students should spend most of their time learning the actual test. • Does the program diagnose why the student missed each question? The same wrong answer can come from a knowledge gap, a reasoning error, a misread question, poor pacing, or a careless habit. Those problems require different solutions. • Does someone hold the student accountable between lessons? Meeting with a talented instructor once a week is not enough if nothing changes during the other six days. The program needs a system for monitoring practice, effort, and mastery. • Are the expectations clear before you enroll? Be cautious if a program promises a large improvement without clearly explaining the time, consistency, and student participation required. The Bottom Line ## Do not ask only what a program teaches. Ask what it requires students to master. Most ACT prep fails because it treats preparation like another class: attend the lessons, complete the assignments, and hope the score rises. Effective preparation is a training process. The student must want the outcome, believe improvement is possible, understand the required commitment, and practice until essential knowledge and processes become reliable under pressure. Then the program must supply what effort alone cannot: a teacher who truly knows the test, authentic ACT material, accurate diagnosis, a history of producing meaningful increases, and accountability that continues between lessons. If those pieces are present, ACT prep is not guaranteed to be easy. But it has a much better chance of becoming what families are actually paying for: a process that changes what a student can do on test day.

The key is knowing how to use it. Think of ChatGPT as a research partner. It can help you find colleges, research scholarships, compare programs, track deadlines, think through financial-aid offers, and uncover options your family may never have considered. Why It Helps ## College planning involves hundreds of questions. What schools should I consider? Which ones are realistic for my GPA and ACT? Where might I receive merit scholarships? Which schools are strongest for my intended major? What will they actually cost? When are the deadlines? You do not need to research every question from scratch. ChatGPT can search the current web and provide sources , allowing you to turn a complicated college search into an ongoing conversation. The Best Way to Use It ## Give it the information a good counselor would need. 1 ### Tell it about you. Share your GPA, ACT or SAT scores, classes, activities, interests, possible majors, geographic preferences, financial limits, and what you want from college. 2 ### Make it research. Ask it to search the web for current information, prioritize official college sources, explain its recommendations, and cite what it finds. 3 ### Keep the conversation going. Use one dedicated conversation for college planning. Update it when your scores, interests, college list, or financial-aid offers change. A Great First Prompt “I’m a junior in Tennessee with a 3.9 GPA and a 31 ACT. I’m interested in engineering, would prefer the Southeast but would consider other areas for an exceptional opportunity, and my family wants to keep our cost below $25,000 per year. Help me build a college list. Search the web for current information, explain why you recommend each school, identify scholarship opportunities and important deadlines, and cite the sources you use.” Then Keep Asking ## The follow-up questions are where it becomes really useful. Which of these colleges is most likely to give me merit aid? What ACT score would make the biggest scholarship difference? Find five colleges I may be overlooking that fit my goals. Compare these schools for my intended major. What questions should I ask when I visit each campus? Here are my financial-aid offers. Help me compare them. Build me a month-by-month application checklist. What am I overlooking? For bigger questions, try Deep Research. ChatGPT’s Deep Research feature can research and synthesize information from multiple sources into a documented report. It is especially useful for a detailed college comparison or scholarship search. One Important Rule ## Let ChatGPT help you research. Do not let it be the final authority. Scholarship amounts, admissions requirements, testing policies, and deadlines change. When something matters to your decision, ask ChatGPT for the source and verify it on the college’s official website. That is especially important before you decide where to apply, whether to retake the ACT, or whether you have met a scholarship deadline. Put It to Work ## Use ChatGPT to ask better questions—not just to get quick answers. As your student’s goals and scores change, keep updating the conversation. Over time, it can become an extremely useful partner for building a smarter college plan. Compare College ROI Read Our Scholarship Guide Helpful sources: ChatGPT Search · Deep Research in ChatGPT .

That is understandable—but it is usually the wrong place to begin. The largest, most predictable, and most renewable scholarship opportunities often come directly from colleges and state governments. The First Mindset Shift ## Do not begin by “hunting” for scholarships. Most parents still imagine the scholarship process working like this: find an award, complete a long application, write several essays, hope to receive an interview, and then hope again that their student is selected. That process does exist—but it describes competitive private scholarships and some competitive college awards. It does not describe a large portion of the money available to students. Many colleges and states publish clear academic criteria. When a student meets the requirements, submits the correct forms, and meets every deadline, the award is automatic or guaranteed. Follow the Dollars ### Private scholarships receive the attention. Colleges provide far more of the money. College Board's 2025 national data show that colleges themselves supplied nearly half of all undergraduate grant aid. State aid also exceeded private and employer grants combined. Private scholarships can still be valuable. They simply should not be the foundation of the family's plan. 46% Institutional grants from colleges and universities 11% State grants and scholarship programs 9% Private and employer grants combined 34% Federal grants, including need-based programs Source: College Board, Trends in College Pricing and Student Aid 2025 . These percentages describe undergraduate grant aid in 2024–25. The Correct Order of Operations ## Build the scholarship plan from the most predictable money outward. Families should spend the most time on awards that are large, renewable, and controlled by measurable requirements. 1 ### Guaranteed institutional merit Published GPA, ACT, SAT, residency, and deadline requirements. 2 ### State scholarships and supplements Programs such as HOPE, GAMS, Bright Futures, Zell Miller, and TOPS. 3 ### Other institutional aid Non-guaranteed merit, need-based grants, and competitive college awards. 4 ### Private scholarships Major national competitions, local awards, employer awards, and smaller prizes. Begin Here ## Guaranteed and automatic merit scholarships A guaranteed merit scholarship is not a contest. The college publishes the criteria in advance. If your student meets those criteria and completes every required step by the deadline, the student receives the award. At colleges with true automatic merit tables, there is normally no scholarship essay, no interview, and no committee choosing between otherwise qualified students. The student's academic record determines the award. Published GPA requirement + Published ACT or SAT requirement + Admission and forms completed on time These awards are especially valuable because many renew for up to four years. A scholarship worth $5,000 per year is not merely a $5,000 decision—it may be a $20,000 decision. Moving into the next ACT tier can sometimes change the four-year cost by tens of thousands of dollars. The rules differ from school to school. A college may require a minimum unweighted GPA, a qualifying ACT score from a specific test date, admission by a priority deadline, full-time enrollment, residency, the FAFSA, or a separate scholarship form. Important distinction: “Automatically considered” does not always mean “guaranteed.” Some colleges review every admitted student automatically but still award merit aid competitively. Look for language stating that students who meet published criteria will receive the award. • ✓ Confirm whether the award is truly guaranteed or merely automatic consideration. • ✓ Record admission, FAFSA, and scholarship deadlines separately. • ✓ Check whether the college accepts ACT superscores for scholarship eligibility. • ✓ Calculate the full four-year value, not only the freshman-year amount. • ✓ Read the college GPA and credit-hour requirements for renewal. • ✓ Ask whether state, institutional, and private awards may be stacked. We Built the Resource Families Needed ## Introducing the It Pays to Prep Scholarship Guides Families should not have to search hundreds of college websites one at a time just to discover which ACT score unlocks which scholarship. We created the It Pays to Prep guides to put the most important scholarship information in one place. For Tennessee Families ### It Pays to Prep: Tennessee Our Tennessee guide brings together guaranteed merit awards, major institutional opportunities, and Tennessee state programs so families can compare requirements and build a score-based scholarship plan. View the Tennessee Guide → More Than 700 Scholarships ### It Pays to Prep: U.S. & Out-of-State Our national guide contains more than 700 scholarship opportunities for students considering colleges beyond their home state. We believe it is the most comprehensive guaranteed-merit scholarship resource of its kind in the United States. Explore the National Guide → Look Next ## State merit aid—and the levels most families miss Many states operate scholarship programs for residents who attend eligible colleges in that state. Florida has Bright Futures. Georgia has HOPE and Zell Miller. Louisiana has TOPS. South Carolina has HOPE, LIFE, and Palmetto Fellows. Tennessee has HOPE and several additional programs. The mistake families make is learning only the name of the best-known program. State aid is often a ladder , not a single scholarship. A student may qualify for a base award, a higher academic supplement, an income-based supplement, or a separate competitive state award. Level 1 #### Base merit award The widely known entry-level scholarship, often tied to GPA or test scores. Level 2 #### Higher merit supplement Additional funding for reaching a higher GPA, ACT, SAT, or class-rank threshold. Level 3 #### Need or program supplement Extra funding based on income, major, career pathway, service, or another qualification. Level 4 #### Competitive state award A larger but limited scholarship with a separate application and selection process. ### Tennessee is a perfect example. Many Tennessee families know about HOPE but do not realize how much additional state aid may be available above or alongside it. Program What it is Current key requirements Why families should care Tennessee HOPE Lottery-funded base merit scholarship For many traditional graduates: at least a 21 ACT or 1060 SAT, or a 3.0 qualifying GPA, plus residency, enrollment, FAFSA, and other rules. Current four-year-college awards are up to $2,250 per semester for freshmen and sophomores and $2,850 per semester for juniors and seniors. GAMS General Assembly Merit Scholarship supplement to HOPE Generally a 3.75 qualifying GPA and a 29 ACT or 1330 SAT. ACT superscores are not accepted for eligibility. Adds up to $500 per semester to the HOPE award under current rules. Aspire Award Income-based supplement to HOPE Meet HOPE requirements and the current adjusted-gross-income standard. The FAFSA is required. Currently adds up to $750 per semester at four-year institutions. Ned McWherter Scholars Separate competitive state scholarship At least a 3.75 unweighted GPA and a 32 ACT or 1430 SAT, followed by a competitive selection process. ACT superscores are not accepted. Currently worth $6,000 per academic year and renewable for a total of four years, subject to continued eligibility. Tennessee Promise Last-dollar scholarship, mentoring, and service program A separate application, FAFSA, meeting, community-service, enrollment, and other deadlines apply. Covers eligible tuition and mandatory fees remaining after other gift aid is applied. Requirements and award amounts shown reflect official Tennessee guidance available in 2026. Rules may differ for home-school, GED, nontraditional, or out-of-state high-school students and may change by graduating class. Florida families should do the same analysis. Bright Futures is not one single scholarship. It includes multiple academic, medallion, vocational, and career-focused award types, each with its own requirements. Your state-aid assignment: Use your state's official higher-education or student-finance website. Identify the base program, every higher tier, every supplement, the application method, test-score rules, deadlines, eligible colleges, and renewal standards. Essential Step ## Complete the FAFSA—even if you don't expect need-based aid. The FAFSA is not merely a loan application. It is the gateway to federal grants, and many states and colleges also use it when awarding their own scholarships and grants. A family that assumes it will not qualify for need-based aid may still need the FAFSA for a state program, an institutional grant, a merit scholarship, or access to federal student loans. File it as early as practical and verify every state and college priority deadline. Do not let terminology cost your family money: “Financial aid” can include scholarships and grants that do not need to be repaid, as well as loans and work-study. Read the award letter line by line. Expand Your Search ## Other institutional scholarships and grants Not all college money is guaranteed. Schools also award non-guaranteed merit aid, need-based institutional grants, departmental awards, and highly competitive scholarships. These awards are still extremely important because the college controls the money and may offer it for multiple years. Often Holistic #### Non-guaranteed merit aid The college may consider GPA, course rigor, test scores, leadership, essays, intended major, and the strength of the applicant pool. Compare Net Price #### Institutional need-based grants Private colleges with high published prices may provide substantial grants. The important figure is the family's net price after aid. Separate Application #### Competitive institutional scholarships These may cover full tuition or the full cost of attendance, but they often require early admission, essays, recommendations, or interviews. Read the Fine Print #### Departmental and major-based awards Honors colleges, academic departments, arts programs, engineering schools, and other units may control additional awards. Never compare colleges by sticker price alone. Compare the four-year net cost after grants and scholarships, then account for annual increases, renewal requirements, housing, fees, travel, and stacking policies. Use ChatGPT to help with the research. Scholarship research can get overwhelming fast. ChatGPT can help you compare colleges, identify merit scholarships, find important deadlines, uncover departmental awards, and figure out what questions you should be asking each school. We created a short guide showing you how to use it effectively—and how to verify anything important before relying on it. Learn how to use ChatGPT as your college counselor → Finish Broadly ## Private scholarships: valuable, but usually the last layer Private scholarships are offered by foundations, businesses, nonprofits, civic groups, professional associations, employers, and individuals. Some are transformative. Most, however, are either highly competitive, relatively small, limited to one year, or restricted to a narrow group of applicants. Students should apply when they are strong candidates. The mistake is spending hundreds of hours pursuing uncertain $500 and $1,000 awards while overlooking an ACT increase that could unlock a renewable college or state scholarship worth far more. Full Four-Year Scholarship #### QuestBridge National College Match High-achieving students from low-income backgrounds can apply for early admission and full four-year scholarships at 55 partner colleges. Last-Dollar Award #### The Gates Scholarship A highly selective award for outstanding Pell-eligible high-school seniors that covers qualifying costs not met by other aid. $20,000 Award #### Coca-Cola Scholars Program The program selects 150 high-school seniors each year for $20,000 scholarships through a highly competitive process. Up to $55,000 Per Year #### Jack Kent Cooke College Scholarship A major last-dollar scholarship for high-achieving students with financial need, awarded through a selective national process. The private-scholarship takeaway: Apply to major national awards when your student is a strong fit. Apply to local and employer awards with favorable odds. Reuse strong materials efficiently. But do not build the family's college plan around winning a competition. • ✓ Prioritize local awards, employer programs, and scholarships with narrow eligibility. • ✓ Compare the likely award with the time required to complete the application. • ✓ Build a reusable résumé, activities list, recommendation file, and essay bank. • ✓ Ask how outside scholarships affect institutional grants and the aid package. Your Family's Scholarship Plan ## Use this order to maximize the return on your time. The goal is not to complete the most scholarship applications. The goal is to create the lowest reliable four-year college cost. 1. Establish the academic targets. Determine the GPA and ACT or SAT scores needed for the largest automatic college and state awards. 2. Use the It Pays to Prep guides. Identify colleges where the student's current score—and next realistic score—produce meaningful four-year scholarships. 3. Map every level of state aid. Find the base award, higher merit tier, supplements, competitive programs, application method, and renewal rules. 4. File the FAFSA and meet priority deadlines. Do not assume merit-focused families can safely skip forms used by colleges and states. 5. Compare four-year net prices. Include tuition, fees, housing, annual increases, travel, renewal standards, and scholarship stacking. 6. Use ChatGPT to organize and expand your search. Give it the student's GPA, ACT or SAT score, interests, college list, and budget. Ask it to identify scholarships, deadlines, and opportunities you may be missing—then verify important details directly with the college. 7. Apply for major college competitions. Complete honors-college, full-tuition, full-ride, departmental, and institutional applications when the fit is strong. 8. Add private scholarships strategically. Pursue national awards when qualified, then focus heavily on local, employer, and narrowly targeted opportunities. 9. Verify everything annually. Scholarship amounts, test policies, deadlines, residency rules, and state laws can change. The Bottom Line ## Scholarships are not primarily a search problem. They are a planning problem. Build the academic profile that unlocks guaranteed money. Know every level of state aid. Compare the real four-year cost of each college. Then use competitive institutional and private scholarships to improve an already sound plan. Build a Scholarship Plan → What Comes Next ### How should a student begin building this profile during freshman year? Once families understand where scholarship money actually comes from, the next step is creating the grades, course rigor, reading skills, leadership, ACT score, and early-college opportunities that make those awards possible.

Outliers ACT Prep · Scholarship Planning Guide --- ## Free ACT Practice Tests in Gemini: Should You Use Them? URL: https://oaprep.com/2026/09/03/free-act-practice-tests-gemini/ ``` Outliers ACT Prep Free ACT Resource # Gemini Is Adding Free ACT Practice Tests. Should You Use Them? Yes—but use them for what they are good at: extra practice, finding weaknesses, and figuring out what to study next. FREE Full-length ACT practice tests announced for Google Gemini Great for finding skills you still need to learn. Not where we would go to predict your real ACT score. Our Take ## This could be an excellent free practice tool. Google has announced free, full-length ACT practice tests in Gemini created in partnership with The Princeton Review. After testing, Gemini can break down performance by topic and help students decide what to work on next. We especially like the potential for Math: use it to discover concepts you do not know yet, then ask Gemini for more practice on those exact skills. The Important Distinction ## Use Gemini for practice—not prediction. ### Use Gemini for: • Extra practice questions • Finding Math concepts you still need to learn • Identifying weak topics • Getting recommendations about what to study next • Generating additional drills on a specific skill ### Do not rely on it for: • Predicting your actual ACT score • Learning exactly what official ACT questions feel like • Replacing official released ACT practice material How to Try It ## How to access an ACT practice test in Gemini 1 ### Open Gemini and sign in Use the Gemini website or mobile app and sign in with your Google account. 2 ### Ask for the ACT practice test Start a new conversation and type: Generate a full-length practice test for the ACT. 3 ### Choose the full test or a section If the ACT practice-test experience is available on your account, Gemini should allow you to take the full test or work on individual sections. 4 ### Review your performance When you finish, review the section results and use Gemini's performance analysis to identify weak areas. 5 ### Turn weaknesses into practice Ask Gemini to give you more problems on the specific Math concepts or other topics you missed. One current limitation: Google announced the ACT feature in June 2026, but its current Gemini Help page still does not list ACT among the universally supported full-length practice tests. If Gemini gives you a generic AI-created quiz instead of the dedicated ACT experience, the rollout may not have reached your account yet. The Bottom Line ## Gemini gives students another great free way to practice. Use it aggressively to find weaknesses, practice Math, and figure out what you should study next. But when you want to know what real ACT questions look like—or what you are actually likely to score—go back to official ACT material. Want a Realistic Baseline? ## Take a Mock ACT with Outliers Extra practice is valuable. But when you want a realistic baseline under testing conditions, start with a Mock ACT.

(The score itself doesn’t matter; we just need a baseline. Last year’s winner started with a 17.) • Receives free or reduced lunch. • Has a teacher or administrator who can vouch for an excellent academic work ethic. (No letter of recommendation is required. We will contact them directly if the student is a finalist.) • Plans to attend a four-year college or university. • Registers for and takes the ACTs and Mock ACTs designated for that class (paid for personally or with a voucher). • All applicants must submit a one-minute video that convinces us of the following: • • The applicant has a strong academic history. • • The applicant is a positive role model for their peers. • • The applicant will do their best to be an exemplary student in our program. • All applicants must be able to make the following commitments, which are required of all students (scholarship and non-scholarship) in our program: • • Be honest. • • Be coachable. • • Be committed to: • • • Checking in every day of the program. (This process is explained in class and takes less than one minute per day.) • • • Completing a minimum of 1.5 hours per day of ACT prep homework, with one day off per week. (Our best students typically do 1.5–2 hours per day.) • • • Completing the full program. Our program is challenging, and most students want to quit at some point. Students must commit to finishing regardless of how they feel. Fewer than 5% of students quit; all students are capable of completing the program if they stay committed. • • • Keeping a “find-a-way” attitude toward hitting their goal score each week. Students are responsible for their own scores and must actively work to get up, over, around, or straight through whatever obstacles stand in their way. ### How we will choose the scholarship winner • Who is most likely to be successful in our program? • Who has worked the hardest and smartest so far to set themselves up for success in life? • Who is doing their best to live as a genuinely great person? The deadline to submit the application and video is one month prior to the start date of the class the student is applying for. The winner will be announced two weeks before the class begins. --- ## It Pays to Prep TN - 2026 URL: https://oaprep.com/iptp/ # Outliers ACT ® Prep TN Scholarships To utilize It Pays to Prep in its simplest form, refer to the left-hand column to find the ACT score and GPA required to qualify for specific scholarships. Most of these scholarships are guaranteed , meaning if the student meets the criteria, they will receive the scholarship as long as they submit all necessary materials on time. If no GPA or ACT score is listed, it means the school does not require it for that scholarship. If a row is highlighted in red, it indicates that with the scholarship applied, the yearly tuition is less than $1,500. Our goal with this chart is to simplify the process of comparing scholarship opportunities across various schools. However, aligning all of this information into a single chart format can sometimes feel like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. We encourage you to treat this chart as a starting point for exploring scholarships that might have otherwise been overlooked. However, it is essential to visit each school's website for the most up-to-date and accurate information. Additionally, please take note of the "Last ACT" and "Last GPA Accepted" columns. Many families are unaware that students can continue taking the ACT even after the admissions deadline to increase their scholarship amounts. These columns indicate the last ACT score and GPA the school will accept for scholarship consideration. By taking the ACT again before this deadline, students can potentially boost their scholarship awards, giving them more financial flexibility for their education.

It explains various symbols and terms, ensuring a clear understanding of the scholarship opportunities available. ## ACT Column This column lists the ACT required for the listed scholarship. If no ACT is listed, no ACT score is required. ## GPA Column (u) = unweighted GPA, (w) = weighted GPA, (de) = Dual Enrollment GPA only, * = complicated system. ## Awards ### HOPE Scholarship The HOPE scholarship, also known as the Lottery Scholarship, is a scholarship for Tennessee residents. Students who achieve a 21 ACT score or a 3.0 GPA are eligible for this scholarship at any Tennessee school they attend. The award amount varies: $4,500 for the first two years of college and $5,700 for the last two years. To simplify, we use an average of $5,100 per year. ### GAMS Scholarship The General Assembly Merit Scholarship (GAMS) is essentially the second level of the HOPE scholarship. Students who achieve a 3.75 weighted GPA and a 29 composite ACT score receive an additional $1,000 per year at any Tennessee school. When scholarship qualifications align with the HOPE or GAMS criteria, we include that amount in this column. Some schools have already incorporated this amount into the list price of the scholarship, which explains why some scholarships meet the qualifications but do not add additional funds. ## Tuition and Fees Tuitions and fees are gathered from CollegeTuitionCompare.com . They represent the 2025-2026 estimates. ## Tuition with Scholarship + HOPE and GAMS In this column, we calculate the tuition for students by subtracting the scholarship amount from the tuition. Please note we use $5,100 for the average HOPE and $1,000 for the average G.A.M.S. ## Scholarships This section gives the name of the scholarship. ## Superscore The ACT automatically superscores every ACT test a student takes. This means that the ACT calculates a superscore by taking the best English, Math, Reading, and Science scores... ## Last ACT/GPA Accepted Most colleges allow students to continue taking the ACT and improving their GPA even after admission, which can impact their scholarship amounts. ## Conclusion This guide is intended to assist in navigating the scholarship chart.

Find a way forward. ### Why We Built Outliers My name is Bobby Nicholson, and I’m the founder of Outliers ACT Prep. I was not the kind of student most people would have bet on. I rarely went to class, had to retake Algebra I five times, and eventually dropped out of high school. But after realizing how hard life could be without an education, I became determined to change my trajectory. I earned my GED, enrolled at Pellissippi State Community College, and, with the help of incredible mentors, learned how to succeed in school and in life. That experience changed me. I went on to become the Administrative Liaison of COSA (the equivalent of student body president), earn a 3.84 GPA, earn an A in every math class I took, and be named to USA Today’s All-Tennessee Academic Team before later transferring to Maryville College, where I completed my degree. More importantly, I saw what can happen when a young person is challenged, supported, and truly believed in. I knew I wanted to spend my life being for others what my mentors had been for me. That mission first led me to PEACE (Peers Encouraging the Achievement of a College Education), a nonprofit that supported at-risk youth. After graduation, we began looking for a way to carry that same mission forward in a model that could sustain itself and grow. That search eventually became Outliers ACT Prep. ### The Student Experience At Outliers, a student does not simply sign up for a class. They enter a system designed to help them grow. Every student begins by setting a meaningful target, whether that means reaching a score they once thought was out of reach, earning a scholarship, opening the door to a better college opportunity, or proving to themselves that they can do something difficult and follow through. From there, the program becomes far more than weekly instruction. Students enter a team-based environment that creates energy, accountability, healthy competition, and a sense that they are part of something bigger than themselves. They are surrounded by coaches, peers, expectations, encouragement, and a structure that keeps them moving forward even when motivation fades. They learn how to follow a plan, stay accountable, ask for help when they are stuck, perform under pressure, and keep going when the work becomes difficult or frustrating. They also experience something many students have never truly experienced before: consistent mentorship. They are guided by people who know the test, believe in their potential, and care enough to challenge them. They see older students and coaches who have already gone where they want to go, and that changes what feels possible. As students improve, their confidence, discipline, and belief in their own capacity grow. They do not just become more prepared for the ACT. They become more capable. That is why the Outliers experience matters. Yes, the score increase matters. But the deeper win is that students leave our program having practiced a repeatable way of achieving difficult goals—and often, for the first time, learned what it feels like to become the kind of person who can do hard things and get results. ### From Student to Leader For many students, the Outliers experience changes the trajectory of their lives. For the best of the best, it becomes the beginning of a leadership journey. Outliers is not just an ACT prep program. It is a leadership pipeline. We recruit exceptional former students to become coaches once they are in college, and then we help those coaches become leaders. Student Learns how to lead themselves to success ↓ Assistant Coach Learns how to help others succeed ↓ Academic Coach Learns how to develop other leaders ↓ Lead Coach Learns how to build and lead a mission-driven organization Most of our students are coached by people who were once in their exact shoes. They know what it feels like to set a hard goal, stay accountable, push through setbacks, and come out stronger on the other side. Now, they get to help the next generation of students experience that same kind of transformation. Matthew Conner is a powerful example of what this can look like. He came to Outliers as a student who was on track to earn only the HOPE Scholarship at the University of Tennessee. He became one of the hardest-working students in his cohort, finished the program with a full-tuition scholarship to UT, and was later hired as an Assistant Coach. Over time, he grew into an Academic Coach, then a Lead Coach, and eventually became our first full-time employee and the Director of our coaching program. At just 23 years old, he is helping lead an organization that includes Assistant Coaches, Academic Coaches, and more than 100 students. Over his six years with us, he has trained and led more than 30 coaches and more than 500 students. By the time one of our top leaders graduates college, they may already know how to achieve hard goals, help others achieve them, lead teams, build culture, and help lead a mission-driven organization with real community impact. This is not just about test scores. It is about building young people who can do hard things and help others do the same. ### The Long-Term Vision If someone looks at Outliers today and sees only an ACT prep company, they are seeing the first chapter, not the full story. For us, the ACT is not the end goal. It is the proving ground. It is the place where students learn how to do something difficult, measurable, and meaningful by setting a serious goal, building a real plan, staying disciplined, accepting accountability, receiving mentorship, and pushing through resistance long enough to achieve a result they once were not sure was possible. That is why the ACT matters to us. Yes, it opens doors and creates scholarships and opportunities. But more importantly, it gives students a real-world environment in which they can learn a way of operating that will serve them far beyond a test. We are building more than successful students. We are building a system that develops disciplined students, trusted mentors, capable leaders, and community-rooted organizations. We believe there is a real need for organizations that can do three things at once: produce measurable results, develop exceptional young leaders, and become deeply valuable to the communities they serve. That is what Outliers is designed to do. If we do it well, what begins as a program for helping students raise ACT scores can become something much larger: a network of deeply rooted local organizations that develop leaders, strengthen schools, and create lifelong opportunity in the communities they serve. ### How Outliers Takes Root in a City At Outliers, we believe growth should be intentional, not rushed. Right now, our priority is strengthening our current location into a fully developed model with a goal of serving 1,000 students each year while preserving the quality, leadership development, community connection, and culture that define who we are. Only when we have done that well does expansion become the right next step. But serving 1,000 students well does not simply mean enrolling more families. It means becoming deeply woven into the life of a city. When Outliers takes root in a community, we do more than provide ACT prep. We create value for students, families, teachers, schools, and the broader community around them. That starts with the students in our program, but it extends far beyond them. We offer free mock ACTs through our proprietary software, giving students immediate results, detailed analysis, video explanations, and unlimited AI-generated practice with interactive explanations. We invest directly in schools and educators through initiatives like the Outliers Teacher of the Year Awards, which distributes more than $10,000 annually to outstanding teachers, and Club Madness, which provides more than $10,000 in yearly awards and donations to school clubs and sports teams. And while PEACE (Peers Encouraging the Achievement of a College Education) does not yet exist again in its full form, its mission already lives on inside Outliers through scholarships that help students who otherwise could not afford our program gain access to ACT prep, mentorship, and the Outliers experience. Over time, we plan to fully rebuild PEACE as part of the broader vision. That is the model we are working to prove in our current city first. When the time comes to bring Outliers somewhere new, we will not do it by placing outsiders into unfamiliar markets. We will do it by elevating leaders who have grown inside the system—people who have lived The Outliers Method, learned to lead themselves, coached students, developed other leaders, and helped strengthen the organization from within. Each new city will represent more than expansion. It will represent a leader who is ready to build something meaningful from the ground up by building local relationships, earning trust, supporting schools, developing a local team, and becoming a deeply rooted part of the community they serve. That is how Outliers grows: carefully, intentionally, and one strong city at a time. ### Final Closing Outliers is more than an ACT prep program. It is a proven system for helping students learn how to do hard things and turn ambition into real results. We do not just focus on test scores. We teach students how to set serious goals, build structure around those goals, stay accountable, follow through with discipline, and build momentum that can carry into every part of their lives. Along the way, students grow into mentors, mentors grow into leaders, and some of those leaders go on to build things that matter. That is what makes this bigger than a prep company. The score, the scholarships, and the college opportunities all matter. But the deeper win is that a young person leaves our program knowing how to take on challenges, follow through, and become someone others can count on. For families, that means your student gains more than a higher score. They gain confidence, resilience, and a framework for succeeding in college and beyond. For communities, it means an organization that invests deeply, builds relationships, supports schools, and creates value far beyond the students enrolled in the program. That is the mission. That is the model. That is Outliers. --- ## It Pays to Prep US - 2026 URL: https://oaprep.com/us-iptp/ # Outliers ACT ® Prep US Scholarships To utilize It Pays to Prep in its simplest form, look down the left-hand column to find the ACT score and GPA necessary to obtain certain scholarships.

Rather than focusing on theory alone, the session breaks down actionable systems, mindset shifts, and implementation strategies that schools, counselors, teachers, parents, and students can immediately apply to create measurable score growth and life-changing outcomes. The presentation explores how schools can better identify student potential, motivate consistent preparation, use data more effectively, and build a culture that empowers students to outperform expectations on the ACT. It also addresses common misconceptions surrounding test prep, scholarship opportunities, superscoring, and long-term academic trajectory. One of the most valuable aspects of this talk is that each concept intentionally builds on the previous one, creating a connected framework rather than a collection of isolated tips. Viewers will gain a deeper understanding not only of what works in ACT prep, but why certain strategies consistently produce stronger results over time. Whether you are a school administrator, counselor, educator, parent, or student, this presentation offers practical insights that can help students unlock opportunities worth thousands — and sometimes tens of thousands — of dollars in scholarships while increasing confidence and academic readiness along the way. ## Maximizing Scholarships for Your Students ## Like what you see? ### We'd love to have you join us in one of our 13-week programs! ## 13-Week Program Start Dates View our Wall of Greats --- ## Consultation URL: https://oaprep.com/consultation/ # Outliers ACT ® Prep Zoom Consultation --- ## Mock ACT URL: https://oaprep.com/mockact/ # Outliers ACT ® Prep Mock ACT ® Schedule Sign up for our Mock ACT ® , which we offer once a month.

The list goes on. To guide students onto a more effective path, we plan to release recordings of our classes. Each new release will replace the previous one, so the availability of each recording will be limited! We will start with a video on the ACT reading section. This section not only shows the fastest rate of improvement among students but is also the easiest section in which to achieve a perfect score of 36, requiring the least amount of preparation. Nearly one out of every three students who complete our program either improves by at least eight points or achieves a 36 on the reading section. If you know students anywhere in the country who might benefit from such an improvement, your help in spreading the word about this recording would be much appreciated! ## ACT Reading - Tips, Tricks, and Strategies from Outliers ACT Prep ## Like what you see? ### We'd love to have you join us in one of our 13-week programs! ## 13-Week Program Start Dates View our Wall of Greats --- ## Mini Programs URL: https://oaprep.com/programs/mini-programs/ # Outliers ACT ® prep Mini Programs For students who don't have time for a full 13-week cycle or only need one of the subjects, we offer single subject options and our Fast Track 5-Week program. ### Math $ 682 ### English $ 682 ### Fast Track 5-Week $ 682 Our Mini-Programs have limited seats remaining.

This year we have 33 teams from 17 high schools across Tennessee competing to win a portion of more than $8,400 of prize money. Teams go up against one other team for 24 hours (from noon (ET) to noon) to get the most votes for their video. Every round they win gets them $100 more. The team that wins six matches wins the $5,000 grand prize, plus an additional $1,000 of fun-only money for the advisor. Every team is guaranteed a minimum of $50. Here is how it works: 0 wins = $50 1 win = $100 (total) 2 wins = $200 (total) 3 wins = $300 (total) 4 wins = $400 (total) 5 wins = $5,000 (grand prize) Starting on March 5th, the first teams will compete. After that, matchups will occur almost every weekday (Monday-Thursday) until the championship on May 16th. So stop back by once per day to vote for your favorite teams.

View Schedule Our 31+ Guaranteed Year-Long program is designed for students aiming for a six-point composite increase or more. Students participate in weekly two-hour sessions every Sunday from 4-6 p.m. ET, with ongoing support available via text, call, or Zoom throughout the week. While the program lasts up to a year, most students reach their target score within six months. With over 12 years of development, our curriculum is expertly crafted to help students achieve large increases to scores above 30. Our app enhances the learning experience through adaptive, interactive features that start with thoroughly assessing each student’s knowledge gaps across all subjects. To ensure comprehensive prep, the program focuses on key skills like timing, strategy, and error elimination. Additionally, students can take live-proctored mock ACT ® s before every national test date, simulating the actual test environment. This method—taking a proctored mock exam in the weeks leading up to the real ACT ® —is one of the most effective ways to maximize scores. During the first 13 weeks, students follow a structured plan of 1.5 to 2 hours of daily homework, with one rest day per week. The app provides a personalized daily schedule that adjusts as students progress, allowing real-time tracking for students, parents, and coaches. After these 13 weeks, students can take breaks of one week to several months as needed. While most students achieve their goals within six months, the program allows up to a year for completion. We guarantee at least a six-point composite increase for students who complete the year. If these goals are not met, we offer additional sessions at no cost or a partial/full refund based on what the family considers fair. Achieving a six-point increase can be a transformative experience, often unlocking more than $10,000 in additional scholarships and significantly boosting chances of acceptance to competitive universities worldwide.

Starting at this point maximizes the benefits of our program, aligning closely with academic development and providing ample time to achieve desired score improvements. Early preparation also positions students favorably for a strong PSAT score, increases their chances of acceptance into Governor’s School, enables eligibility for dual enrollment classes, and allows more time during junior and senior years for scholarship and college applications. While the preferable start is before junior year, the most common start time for most students is the spring or summer of their junior year.It's also important to consider when your student can best commit to our program. The outcomes and progress are directly linked to the effort and time invested. Hence, choosing a period when your student can reliably dedicate 1.5 to 2 hours daily over the 13-week span is ideal for achieving optimal results. We offer flexible starting dates for our program, with new sessions beginning nearly every month. ## February, May, and August Start Dates Most of our 13-week prep programs are scheduled to conclude on the day of the ACT ® exam. However, for our programs starting in February, May, and August, there are no ACT ® test dates exactly 13 weeks out, resulting in the program ending about a month before an upcoming ACT ® test date. To bridge this gap and maintain students' momentum, we offer an additional month of our program at no extra cost. This extension is crucial for ensuring that students retain their test-taking skills and stay in peak condition right up until the day of their ACT ® . We strongly advise students enrolled in these particular start dates to embrace this opportunity and continue with the extra month of prep to maximize their potential for success. ## October and November Start Dates Our program schedules a break around the second week of December, coinciding with the December ACT ® , and resumes around the second week of January. For students who begin their journey with us in October and November, this means that their 13-week program will pause during this intermission. They will seamlessly continue and complete their remaining sessions once the program reconvenes in January, ensuring they receive the full spectrum of our comprehensive ACT ® prep.

You have probably heard, “It doesn’t really matter where you go to college. You are basically learning the same thing.” There is some truth in that—but as advice for choosing a college, it is far too simple. 23% of bachelor’s degree programs have a negative expected ROI. $160K is the approximate median completion-adjusted ROI of a bachelor’s program. 6% of bachelor’s programs have an expected ROI above $1 million. The Rumor ## “You are basically learning the same thing wherever you go.” A calculus textbook is still a calculus textbook. A motivated student can succeed from almost anywhere, and a prestigious name does not guarantee a great life. But college is not just the information delivered in class. You are also choosing a particular program, professors, classmates, internship opportunities, recruiting pipelines, alumni network, graduation environment—and a price. The better question is not simply, “Is college worth it?” It is: “Is this program, at this college, worth what it will cost me?” What the Data Shows ## College is not one interchangeable product. FREOPP analyzed roughly 53,000 degree and certificate programs. The financial outcomes vary enormously—not only by major, but also across colleges offering the same general field of study. 1 ### What you study matters. Engineering, computer science, nursing, and economics tend to produce much higher financial returns than many other fields. Your major can change the value of college by hundreds of thousands of dollars. 2 ### Where you study it matters too. Even within the same major, ROI can vary widely from one institution to another because earnings, cost, completion rates, recruiting, and other institutional factors differ. 3 ### Finishing matters enormously. Taking longer to graduate—or leaving without the degree—can dramatically reduce the return. That is why our calculator includes an estimate that accounts for completion risk. This is not an argument for always choosing the most prestigious school. It is an argument against assuming the choice does not matter. Compare the actual program, likely outcomes, and your real cost after scholarships and aid. Before You Decide ## Run the numbers. Search by college, state, credential, or area of interest. Then compare programs before deciding where to apply—or where to enroll. ## College Return on Investment Calculator Search college programs by state, school, credential, and broad area of interest. Compare estimated earnings and lifetime return on investment before choosing a college or major. Outliers tip: Start with a broad area your student is interested in—such as Computers & Technology, Health & Medicine, or Business. Then narrow by state or institution. State All states Institution Control All types Public Private nonprofit Private for-profit Credential type All undergraduate credentials Bachelor's Degree Associate's Degree Undergraduate Certificate or Diploma Area of interest All areas of interest Computers & Technology Engineering Business, Finance & Marketing Health & Medicine Education & Teaching Science & Mathematics Psychology & Social Sciences Law, Government & Public Service Arts, Design & Media Communication, Writing & Journalism Humanities, History & Languages Skilled Trades & Technical Careers Architecture & Construction Agriculture, Animals & Natural Resources Hospitality, Culinary & Tourism Criminal Justice & Protective Services Transportation & Logistics Personal & Consumer Services How interest categories work: each category searches a group of related FREOPP program names.

How to Use It ## Compare programs—not just school names. 1 ### Start with an area of interest. If your student does not know the exact major, choose a broad category and explore the related programs. 2 ### Compare the same field across schools. “University A vs. University B” is less useful than comparing the specific programs your student would actually enter. 3 ### Then use your real net price. ROI estimates are a starting point. Your final decision should also account for the scholarships, grants, and actual cost your family receives. ROI is not everything. Happiness, fit, relationships, location, mission, and the work a student wants to do all matter. The calculator is not meant to make the decision for you. It is meant to keep you from making a six-figure decision without looking at the numbers. The Bottom Line ## Do not choose a college based on a rumor. Where you go is not destiny—but it is not irrelevant either. Before committing, compare what you want to study, what the school is likely to cost you, how students in that program tend to do, and what you are getting in return. Data and research: Foundation for Research on Equal Opportunity . FREOPP estimates ROI for approximately 53,000 degree and certificate programs using data that include the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard. ROI estimates are population-level estimates, not guarantees of an individual student's outcome. --- ## The Ultimate Guide to High School, ACT Prep & Scholarships URL: https://oaprep.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-high-school-act-prep-scholarships/ Outliers ACT Prep # The Outliers Guide to High School, ACT & Scholarships We created these resources to help families make smarter decisions earlier—before deadlines, testing pressure, and college costs make those decisions harder. ### Choose your path You can read these in any order.

It is an important part of the score-improvement strategy itself. Our 13-Week Testing Goal 1 Midway through Capture early gains and identify needed adjustments. 2 At the end Apply everything learned during the full 13 weeks. 3 At least once afterward Create another opportunity for a stronger Composite or superscore. The Common Assumption ## Waiting until the program ends can cost students points. Families sometimes assume the best strategy is to finish ACT prep before taking another official test. That sounds reasonable, but it overlooks how score improvement and superscoring actually work. In our 13-week programs, our goal is for students to take the official ACT at least three times: once midway through the program, once at the end of the 13 weeks, and at least once more after completing the program. Each test serves a different purpose, and all three work together to give students the best opportunity to reach their full scoring potential. Our students who take both the midway and end-of-program ACTs generally earn superscores one to three points higher than students who skip the midway test. Students who continue testing after the program often improve even further. Reason One ## Every ACT is another opportunity to build a stronger superscore. Approximately 75% of the colleges tracked by Compass Education Group currently superscore the ACT. A superscore combines a student's best English, Math, and Reading scores from different test dates, so every section does not have to peak on the same Saturday. A student might earn their best English score on the midway ACT, their best Math score on the end-of-program ACT, and their best Reading score after completing the program. At a college that superscores, those three performances can work together. Every official ACT is another opportunity to add a point to a student's superscore. Reason Two ## Our program is designed around multiple ACT attempts. Students in our program concentrate heavily on one section at a time. This lets them develop a deeper understanding of that section before shifting their attention elsewhere. Students may therefore be at their strongest in one section midway through the program and strongest in another section near the end. Waiting until the program is over can mean missing the opportunity to capture a peak performance in the section the student recently studied most intensively. Testing midway, at the end, and at least once afterward gives students multiple opportunities to convert their progress into official scores. Reason Three ## The midway ACT gives us information a practice test cannot. Practice tests are extremely valuable, but an official ACT includes pressures and variables that are difficult to reproduce at home. • A different and unfamiliar testing environment • Strictly enforced timing and an unfamiliar proctor • Other students working in the same room • Test-day nerves and the pressure of knowing the score is official The midway ACT provides the data. The remaining weeks give us time to act on it. We can compare official results with practice scores, identify discrepancies, and adjust the student's study plan before the end-of-program ACT. Reason Four ## Multiple attempts reduce the pressure on any one Saturday. Students sometimes approach the end-of-program ACT believing that everything depends on that one morning. That pressure rarely helps them perform their best. The midway ACT gives students experience applying new strategies in an official setting. They learn how their pacing holds up, how they respond when a section is harder than expected, and what they should do differently next time. “I am going to do my best today, but I do not need every section to peak at once. I will learn from this test and have another opportunity.” Reason Five ## Students often improve simply by gaining real test experience. The ACT measures more than academic knowledge. It also tests pacing, concentration, endurance, emotional control, and familiarity with the testing environment. Those abilities improve with experience. Students can use what they learn on the midway ACT during the end-of-program test, then use both experiences to prepare for at least one additional attempt. Closely spaced ACT dates can be especially valuable because students can apply lessons from the first test while the experience is still fresh. After the 13 Weeks ## The end of the program should not necessarily be the end of testing. By the end of the program, students have learned the content, strategies, and habits they need. Taking the ACT at least once more lets them benefit from everything they learned without forcing every best performance into a single test date. Students may continue improving as concepts become more familiar, pacing becomes more natural, and test-day anxiety decreases. In our experience, students who keep testing after the program frequently add at least one more point to their Composite or superscore. That point can sometimes affect admissions opportunities or lead to thousands of dollars in additional scholarship aid. A Common Concern ## Will taking the ACT multiple times look bad to colleges? After years of asking admissions professionals—including professionals at highly selective universities—we have never had one tell us that the number of ACT attempts negatively influenced an admissions or scholarship decision. There is no prize for earning a student's best score on the first attempt. Some students reach their goals after two tests. Others need four, five, six, or more. What matters is earning the strongest score possible before admissions and scholarship deadlines. Read our complete explanation: Does Taking the ACT Multiple Times Hurt College Admissions or Scholarships? The Bottom Line ## The midway ACT is part of a larger three-test strategy. • Midway: Capture early improvements and identify needed adjustments. • End of the program: Apply everything learned during the 13 weeks. • At least once afterward: Create another opportunity for a higher Composite or superscore. Do not wait until the end of the program to give your student their first opportunity to turn progress into an official score.

A few important steps now will help your student arrive prepared, confident, and ready to get the most from the program. Please complete these early—some registrations fill quickly. 5¼–6¾ hours Estimated total for every student, plus 3 hours if a baseline ACT is needed. Your student has several responsibilities to complete before the first day of class. Your encouragement—and a few timely reminders—can keep them from trying to catch up after the program has already begun. 1 ## Complete student onboarding About 1 hour Your student should have received a text message with an onboarding link when your family enrolled. That link walks them through every step they need to complete. Please make sure they received the message and completed the entire onboarding process. 2 ## Complete a full ACT before class, if needed About 3 hours · Conditional We need an accepted ACT score before your student’s first day. It gives our team an accurate starting point and helps us understand where your student needs the most support. This is required if your student has never taken an official ACT or if their only previous score is from the PreACT. We do not accept PreACT scores as a program starting score. Students without an accepted ACT score must take a full-length Mock ACT before class begins. Your enrollment coordinator will reach out with instructions if your student needs this step. This baseline test is separate from reserving the additional Mock ACT dates below. 3 ## Register for at least three official ACT dates About 30–60 minutes Test centers can fill quickly, so please register early. Your student should reserve these three testing opportunities: ACT 1 · Midway Usually 4–6 weeks after the program starts ACT 2 · Program milestone About 3 months after starting* ACT 3 · Follow-through About 5 months after starting *For students who start in February, May, or August, the second ACT will usually be about four months after the program begins. These dates create opportunities to build a stronger superscore, reduce the pressure on any one Saturday, and give us official results we can use to adjust preparation. Register for the ACT ↗ Why multiple tests matter ↗ 4 ## Reserve all available Mock ACT dates About 15 minutes Mock ACTs help students become comfortable with the test, build endurance, reduce test-day anxiety, and measure progress. Sessions fill quickly, so we recommend reserving every available date now. Mock ACTs normally cost $30 each, but students enrolled in the program may take all of them at no additional cost. Use promo code student . Reserve Mock ACT dates ↗ 5 ## Attend orientation with their coach About 30 minutes This one-on-one orientation is your student’s opportunity to get to know their academic coach before the program begins—and for their coach to get to know them. The coach will reach out to schedule the meeting. Please make sure your student adds it to their calendar, remembers the appointment, and arrives on time and ready to participate. 6 ## Read the daily program messages Begins 2 weeks before class Daily messages will begin approximately two weeks before the first class. All parents are included in these group chats. We encourage you to read them. Each message explains one small part of the program, helping you understand how everything works and stay fully aware of what your student should be doing. If you prefer not to receive these messages, you may remove yourself from the chat at any time. 7 ## Prepare to earn 100% on the first-day quiz 3–4 focused hours · Most important This is the most important academic work your student should be doing between now and the first day of class. The quiz will be more challenging than many students expect. During onboarding, your student has received—or will soon receive—the instructions and materials needed to prepare. Please encourage them to set aside three to four focused hours and prepare for a score of 100% . A student who aims for complete mastery may ultimately land around 80% or better. A student who prepares only for 80% is much more likely to fall below that mark. Need help? Your student may ask their coach for a 15-minute Zoom session. These sessions are not guaranteed or included as a formal part of the program, but coaches are happy to provide one when their availability allows. ## Complete these steps early Finishing before the program starts allows your student to focus on learning from day one instead of trying to catch up. ## Before the Program Starts Check off each step as your student completes it. Your progress is saved on this device. 0 of 7 complete Student onboarding About 1 hour Baseline ACT, if needed About 3 hours · Conditional Three official ACT dates About 30–60 minutes All Mock ACT dates About 15 minutes Coach orientation About 30 minutes Read daily messages Begins 2 weeks before class First-day quiz preparation 3–4 hours You’re ready for the program.

Read fiction for 20 minutes daily Daily fiction reading builds fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, attention, and familiarity with complex sentences. This is not speed-reading practice. Students should read carefully enough to follow character, sequence, tone, and detail. ### 2. Treat the ACT as a test of attention to detail Skimming can cause students to pass over the exact wording, qualifiers, labels, and relationships being tested. Teach students to slow down long enough to verify the detail each question actually asks about. ### 3. Prioritize accuracy over finishing Students should not rush past easier early questions merely to reach harder late questions. Raw-to-scale conversions vary by form, so no fixed score outcome is guaranteed, but correct answers matter more than simply attempting every question. ### 4. Skip strategically Students should decide quickly—ideally within about 10 seconds—whether a question is likely to consume more than about 30 seconds. They should skip it and return later. A few time-consuming questions often create the timing problem. ## English analysis Open English aggregate report ↗ 11.1 Full-test average (n=200) 11 Aggregate average (n=199) 10 Full-test median ### Most-missed skills Counts are derived from the aggregate report’s displayed correct percentages and may vary slightly because those percentages are rounded. ### Categories Category Questions missed • Conjunction 695 • Clause 1 609 • Literals 595 ### Groupings Grouping Questions missed • Understanding 2,456 • Clause 1,353 • Misc 925 ### Instructional priority: Understanding Understanding was the leading missed grouping.

Read closely rather than skim Students may be using a skimming technique, which we do not advise. The ACT is a test of attention to detail, so we strongly recommend reading passages, questions, and answer choices closely. Prioritizing careful reading and accuracy over finishing can lead to a higher score, even when students do not complete every question. ### 2. Incorporate exact missed questions Use actual missed Clause 1 and Redundancy questions in English, and actual missed Polynomials, Functions, and Solving Equations questions in Math. Review the most-missed question lists and subject aggregate reports to select examples for the curriculum. ### 3. Read each Reading passage first Read closely rather than skim. Move to the questions as soon as you finish the passage, or at four minutes from starting it, whichever comes first. ### 4. Go straight to Science questions Start with the questions, then consult charts, graphs, and necessary text. Outliers recommends this approach because more than 70% of questions can be answered using charts and graphs. Incorporate exact most-missed Science questions into the curriculum. ## English Analysis Open English aggregate report ↗ 15.3 Spreadsheet average · n=156 15 Aggregate displayed average · attempts=157 14 Spreadsheet median ### Most-missed skills Each chart shows the share of total misses among the three leading areas displayed in the aggregate report. These are missed-question totals across attempts, not counts of students or percentages of all subject misses. Counts depend on both accuracy and the number of questions assigned to each skill. ### Categories Categorie Questions missed • Clause 1 521 • Placement 478 • Redundancy 454 ### Groupings Grouping Questions missed • Understanding 1,532 • Clause 998 • Economy 454 ### English curriculum priorities The most-missed categories were Clause 1 (521), Placement (478), and Redundancy (454). Clause 1: Clause 1 errors involve punctuation incorrectly placed in the middle of a clause. A simple way to help students answer more of these questions correctly is to review the most-missed Clause 1 questions in the aggregate report and incorporate those exact questions into your English curriculum. Redundancy: For Redundancy questions, students need to recognize that they should not repeat information already stated in the paragraph. We recommend reviewing the most-missed Redundancy questions in the aggregate report and incorporating those exact questions into your English curriculum so students have real examples to understand. ### Read closely rather than skim Students may be using a skimming technique, which we do not advise. The ACT is a test of attention to detail, so we strongly recommend reading passages, questions, and answer choices closely. Prioritizing careful reading and accuracy over finishing can lead to a higher score, even when students do not complete every question. ### Most Missed English Questions Ranked by lowest displayed percent correct across all questions, with equal percentages handled consistently. Both scored and field-test questions were considered. “Correct” is the displayed percentage answering correctly, not the percentage missing the question. Field-test questions do not affect scaled scores. Percentages are rounded to whole numbers.

The ACT is a test of attention to detail, and skimming can cause students to overlook the very details the questions ask about. Our data from helping hundreds of students earn a 36 on Reading shows that students consistently reach their potential when they read the passage first and read it closely rather than skim. Proceed to the questions as soon as you finish the passage. At four minutes from starting each passage, move on to the questions, regardless of how far you have read. We recommend reviewing the most-missed questions below or in the aggregate report and incorporating those exact questions into your Reading curriculum. ### Most Missed Reading Questions Ranked by lowest displayed percent correct across all questions, with equal percentages handled consistently.

Read fiction for 20 minutes each day Consistent, attentive reading helps students practice comprehension, vocabulary, and stamina. The goal is to understand details, not to speed read. ### 2. Read closely rather than skim Students may be using a skimming technique, which we do not advise. The ACT is a test of attention to detail, so we strongly recommend reading passages, questions, and answer choices closely. Prioritizing careful reading and accuracy over finishing can lead to a higher score, even when students do not complete every question. ### 3. Prioritize accuracy over finishing Focus on answering more questions correctly rather than rushing to attempt every question. Practice with the exact missed questions in the aggregate reports. ### 4. Skip strategically If a student recognizes within about 10 seconds that a question will require more than roughly 30 seconds of work, skip it and return later. Protect time for questions the student can answer accurately. ## English Analysis Open English aggregate report ↗ 14.0 Spreadsheet average · n=58 14 Aggregate average · n=70 12 Spreadsheet median ### Most-missed skills The most-missed categories displayed in the aggregate report were Clause 3, Clause 1, and Literals. We recommend reviewing the most-missed questions listed below and the questions in these categories in the aggregate report, then incorporating those exact questions into your english curriculum. Each chart shows the share of misses among the three leading areas displayed in the aggregate report. Totals count missed question instances, not unique students. The source displays three leading categories and three leading groupings; these are separate rankings. ### Categories Category Total missed • Clause 3 349 • Clause 1 236 • Literals 198 ### Groupings Grouping Total missed • Understanding 743 • Clause 691 • Word Choice 265 ### Read closely rather than skim Students may be using a skimming technique, which we do not advise. The ACT is a test of attention to detail, so we strongly recommend reading passages, questions, and answer choices closely. Prioritizing careful reading and accuracy over finishing can lead to a higher score, even when students do not complete every question. ### Instructional priority: Clause 1 Clause 1 errors involve punctuation incorrectly placed in the middle of a clause. A simple way to help students answer more of these questions correctly is to review the most-missed Clause 1 questions in the aggregate report and incorporate those exact questions into your English curriculum. ### Instructional priority: Clause 3 Clause 3 errors indicate that students need help identifying independent and dependent clauses and knowing which punctuation to use to separate them. We recommend reviewing the most-missed Clause 3 questions in the aggregate report and incorporating those exact questions into your English curriculum. ### Most Missed English Questions “Correct” is the source percentage answered correctly, not the percentage missed.

Read fiction for 20 minutes each day Consistent reading builds comprehension, vocabulary, stamina, and natural reading pace. The goal is not “speed reading.” Students should read attentively enough to understand the details and follow how the text develops. ### 2. Read closely rather than skim Students may be using a skimming technique, which we do not advise. The ACT is a test of attention to detail, so we strongly recommend reading passages, questions, and answer choices closely. Prioritizing careful reading and accuracy over finishing can lead to a higher score, even when students do not complete every question. ### 3. Prioritize accuracy over finishing Students should avoid sacrificing easier questions at the beginning just to reach harder questions at the end. The immediate goal is more correct answers, not simply more attempted answers. Raw-to-scale conversions vary by test form. ### 4. Skip strategically If a student recognizes within about 10 seconds that a question will require more than roughly 30 seconds of work, skip it and return later. Most timing problems come from a small number of questions that consume several minutes, not from every question being too slow. ## English Analysis Open English aggregate report ↗ 16.0 Spreadsheet average (n=172) 16 Aggregate average (n=173) 15 Spreadsheet median ### Most-missed skills The most-missed categories were Clause 1 (538 misses), Placement (528), and Redundancy (521). For curriculum instruction, we recommend reviewing the most-missed Clause 1 and Redundancy questions in the aggregate report and incorporating those exact questions into your English curriculum. The individual-question ranking below is separate from this category ranking. Each chart shows the share of misses among the three leading areas displayed in the aggregate report. ### Categories Category Questions missed • Clause 1 538 • Placement 528 • Redundancy 521 ### Groupings Grouping Questions missed • Understanding 1,644 • Clause 1,039 • Economy 521 ### Read closely rather than skim Students may be using a skimming technique, which we do not advise. The ACT is a test of attention to detail, so we strongly recommend reading passages, questions, and answer choices closely. Prioritizing careful reading and accuracy over finishing can lead to a higher score, even when students do not complete every question. ### Instructional priority: Clause 1 Clause 1 errors involve punctuation incorrectly placed in the middle of a clause. A simple way to help students answer more of these questions correctly is to review the most-missed Clause 1 questions in the aggregate report and incorporate those exact questions into your English curriculum. ### Instructional priority: Redundancy For Redundancy questions, students need to recognize that they should not repeat information already stated in the paragraph. We recommend reviewing the most-missed Redundancy questions in the aggregate report and incorporating those exact questions into your English curriculum so students have real examples to understand. ### Most Missed English Questions “Correct” is the percentage who answered correctly. Questions are ranked from lowest displayed Correct percentage, with equal percentages retained at the fifth-question cutoff. Exact question-level missed counts are not provided; no counts have been estimated from rounded percentages.

We recommend reviewing the most-missed questions listed below and the questions in these categories in the aggregate report, then incorporating those exact questions into your curriculum. The individual-question ranking below is separate from this category ranking. Each chart shows the share of misses among the three leading areas displayed in the aggregate report. ### Categories Category Questions missed • Polynomials 607 • Functions 488 • Shapes 382 ### Groupings Grouping Questions missed • Algebra 2,746 • Geometry 1,115 • Stats 298 ### Use the question generator for deliberate practice Students should open a missed question and select the small sparkle button in the Mastery column. They can talk back and forth with the AI explanation, ask why each step works, and keep generating similar questions until they can solve the type without assistance. Look for this sparkle icon It appears in the Mastery column beside the question. Please note: The aggregate report includes a questions 46–60 box. That box applies only to legacy tests. Because this administration used the enhanced ACT, Math ends at question 45 and the questions 46–60 box can be ignored. ### Most Missed Math Questions “Correct” is the percentage who answered correctly.

The ACT is a test of attention to detail, and skimming can cause students to overlook the very details the questions ask about. Our data from helping hundreds of students earn a 36 on Reading shows that students consistently reach their potential when they read the passage first and read it closely rather than skim. At four minutes, students should move on to the questions, regardless of how far they have read in the passage. Begin timing when starting each passage. Move to the questions as soon as the passage is finished; four minutes is the maximum time to spend reading a passage. ### Most Missed Reading Questions “Correct” is the percentage who answered correctly.

More than 70% of the questions can be answered using the charts and graphs. We highly recommend reviewing the most-missed questions listed below or in the aggregate report and incorporating those exact questions directly into your science curriculum to help students prepare. Conflicting-viewpoints passages are an exception and require careful reading of the viewpoints. Consult the referenced charts, graphs, and any necessary passage details as you answer each question. ### Most Missed Science Questions “Correct” is the percentage who answered correctly.

## FAQs ## Ideal Prep Time • ### For Seniors - If your student hasn’t started prepping yet, now is the time! The December ACT ® is typically the last test many schools accept for admissions. However, many schools allow students to retake the ACT ® after application deadlines to boost their scholarship opportunities. Starting prep now ensures your student can take advantage of these final opportunities. • ### For Juniors - The earlier you start, the more time you have to reach your target score. Starting prep now gives you a strong foundation heading into senior year, offering plenty of time to retake the test if needed and maximize your admissions chances and scholarship potential. • ### For Sophomores - In our experience, sophomore year is the ideal time for most students to begin prep, even if they haven’t completed Algebra 2 and Geometry. Early prep gives students a significant advantage—many of our students score 34 or higher before the junior year even begins. In addition to setting you up for ACT ® success, early prep helps you excel on the PSAT, become eligible for dual enrollment, and stand out for programs like Governor’s School. • ### For Freshmen and Younger - Nearly every student who has completed our program during their freshman year or earlier has finished high school with a 33 or above. Learning the study skills and techniques we teach early in high school gives students a tremendous advantage. If your students are ready for the challenge and committed to doing the work, we’d love to have them on a team! Buy now and pay later with a little bit of interest.
