Balancing soccer practice and school made test prep feel impossible. The ACT Power Pod gave me weekly accountability to take practice tests that fit my schedule. I raised my score by 6 points and now I’m on track for my top college.

My son has ADHD and struggled with traditional tutoring. The flexible structure and clear tools here actually worked for him. He improved 5 points on the ACT and earned a $40,000 scholarship.

This program is built differently. It’s not about cramming or burning kids out - it’s about confidence, strategy, and support. My daughter went from nervous to motivated, and her SAT score jumped 140 points.

I loved how everything was built for busy athletes. The confidence routines before test day kept me calm, and I scored high enough to qualify for $60,000 in merit scholarships.
