<p>I am thinking about using Princeton Review for ACt prep. It is very expensive. My daughter made a 21 on ACT and needs a 26. Has anyone used this or any tutoring program that has helped raised an ACT score 5 points? She will be using a private tutor for this. She has tried doing the self tutoring without much luck but she usually responds well to one-on-one tutoring. Thanks for suggestions</p>
<p>You should post this under the SAT and ACT Test section of the discussion board.</p>
<p>The best prep is self-prep using any books that contain practice tests. My D. commented that her SAT prep class was waste of time while her self-prep (1 hour / day for one week) ACT preparation resulted in better score and she did not need to take it again. Good luck!</p>
<p>You can probably get the book from your library or library network. As for what kind of prep would help, it depends on the kid. Our experience was: group prep classes were not helpful, self-prep (SAT IIs) with the prep books was helpful, private tutoring (SAT math) was helpful.</p>
<p>Just an FYI–I got <yet another=“”> e-mail from them saying there’s a $200 discount for their summer classes if you register before April 30th.</yet></p>
<p>I haven’t received that, can it be used for the private tutoring or is it for group classes?</p>
<p>I did the review class from the Princeton Review.</p>
<p>The first practice test I got a 27, and my first real test I took I got a 32, so there was definite improvement.</p>
<p>The classes are long, or at least for me they were, 3 days a week 4 hours each session.</p>
<p>I liked how they made you take a practice test every third class, helped you see your improvement. </p>
<p>Overall, I think that they will definitely help your daughter as long as she pays attention and does her homework.</p>
