Hello, I’m a junior debating whether I should do PrepScholar’s ACT program. Has anyone see positive results doing it? I’ve seen some people recommend it and others say that it’s a waste of money. I got a 27 on my first ACT and want to increase it to a 33 by the July 13th ACT… anything would be helpful!!
Our family experience, FWIW.
S used it and only improved 1 point, so you would expect me to say it is a waste of money. HOWEVER, I thought the materials and the program looked good. S wasn’t really motivated, and his studying reflected that. The time he put in was well below what was recommended, and he didn’t do the practice tests like he was supposed to. I think I will probably get it for D21 this summer. She is quite a bit more motivated and should take advantage of it.
It does require quite a bit of time to do correctly. But if you put in the time and are honestly trying to work hard and learn I think it is probably worthwhile. 6 points is quite a bit though. Good luck.
