ACT Prep built around the questions your child misses.
We turn missed questions into targeted practice, with lessons starting at your child's level and work graded the moment it is submitted, with written feedback.
A lesson built around your child
ACT pacing improves when students recognize recurring question structures, protect accuracy on familiar work, and use misses to choose the next practice.
- Lesson
- Speed Comes from Pattern Recognition
- Goal
- Diagnose a pacing pattern across ACT sections and design a practice loop that changes one timing or accuracy variable.
How a lesson works
An 8-minute reading
This example lesson comes from the unit on section strategy, pacing, and targeted review. It moves from “Recognize the task before solving” to “A pacing plan protects accuracy” and builds to one idea: a faster test-taker is not guessing sooner; they are spending less time rediscovering a pattern they have learned to see.
Help inside the reading
Our Always-On Mentor can help your teen work out whether a missed question came from a content gap, pacing, or test strategy, then practice that skill. Your child can also highlight any line of “Speed Comes from Pattern Recognition” to ask about it or ask for a visual, and the mentor offers help on its own when they seem stuck.
A check halfway through
Your child answers “Why can a pacing plan improve a score without teaching a new content topic?” before reading on, and the Reading Check at the end asks new questions.
A project your child hands in
Choose one ACT section and compare two pacing strategies across short timed sets.
- Task
- Use accuracy, completion, and error type (not one raw score) to decide which strategy to keep
- Hand in
- ACT strategy sheet with timed-set data, error analysis, and next practice plan

Units and skills
Focuses on ACT skill domains and test behaviors, alongside your child's math, reading, writing, and science courses. ACT Prep is one skill tree for every grade with 12 units, from ACT format and scoring strategy to timed full-section review and score planning, and your child's grade sets how deep each unit goes.

Questions parents ask
Where does my child start in ACT Prep?
- Placement checks your child's current ACT Prep skills and sets the first lesson from that result, not from their grade.
How much of the teaching do I do?
- None of it. The course explains each new idea and checks how your child uses it, while the mentor answers questions as they work. Every submission is graded as soon as it comes in, so you never grade it yourself.
Can I use the record for high-school planning?
- Yes. The subject record holds every graded assignment with its written feedback, ready to export. We generate a transcript from the course records, ready for you to sign.
