Our Core and Core+ programs are rigorous prep programs designed to help students achieve a five-point increase on the ACT®. We specialize in putting students on a path to a 34 superscore, regardless of their start score. The program has been built to train the students for the ACT® in a way that resembles how elite athletes train for an event. Students can use the skills, methodologies, and success principles they learn in the program to achieve challenging goals in several areas of their lives.
We have structured the program for maximum engagement and individual attention. We divide the classes into teams that compete against each other to win gift cards for members of their team each week. Each team has an Academic Coach who has coached more than 100 students. In addition, each student gets a dedicated Assistant Coach who is in contact with them almost every day of the program to look over their goals, provide feedback, answer questions, give encouragement, and whatever else is needed to help them achieve their goals. These Assistant Coaches also make it possible for us to custom design every program and modify it to the individual student’s needs throughout the semester. Every one of our coaches scored a 34 superscore or above on their own ACT®.
The program meets on Sundays from 4-6 pm ET and involves 1.5 to 2 hours of daily homework between sessions, structured via our user-friendly app. The app provides a clear daily plan and adapts to each student’s progress, while also enabling students, parents, and coaches to monitor progress in real-time.
Students enrolled in these programs experience a transformative academic journey. This program is designed to reinforce foundational knowledge, bridge any gaps in learning from middle school through advanced subjects, and instill effective study skills and principles used by top-performing students. Our comprehensive approach not only prepares them for successful admission to their preferred schools but also enhances their potential to secure substantial scholarship funding.
The skills and strategies learned in this program extend beyond test preparation, equipping students to tackle a variety of challenging academic and life objectives. Our commitment to your success is unwavering, and we pledge to do everything in our power to help you achieve at least a five-point composite increase. In the rare event that our efforts fail, we are dedicated to making it right. Our unwavering commitment to excellence is reflected in our five-star Google ranking.

When should students do this program?
The Ideal Time for Prep
The ideal time for most students to begin their ACT® prep is in the spring or summer of their sophomore year. 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.
Start Date Specific Information
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.
