"I had taken the ACT three times already and was at a complete standstill with my score when my mom heard about the ACT Prep Course at UCA. The class was great and the teachers really wanted to help. If we needed help in certain areas or on specific problems, the instructors were great to work through them with us. They also taught us overall testing strategies for the ACT, which I thought was super helpful on test day. I raised my score by four points! I was so happy and so glad that I had taken the prep course; there is no doubt that it made a difference in my testtaking and my overall outcome!"
