In my opinion, this course is not as universally helpful as advertised. It is catered to students who are lacking in test taking skills and basic ACT skills. If you are a student who is scoring above 30 and feel like actual knowledge is the reason you aren't able to raise your score then do not come to this course. All real information is given through an ACT guide which anyone can buy online. This first half of the day is spent reviewing over-complicated test strategies and small chunks of review questions (which the proctor does not provide explanations for, but rather tells you where to find the explanation online or in another book). The latter half of the day is spent taking a full review test that you are told to check on your own. On top of all this, the course is unnecessarily long; a solid 1-2 hours of each day are wasted on superfluous and unnecessary anecdotes about the proctor's personal life. All-in-all if you are a student who feels generally unprepared for the ACT and are receiving average scores then I would suggest this class. If you are a student who is receiving high scores and are lacking in a specific area, your money and time would be better spent with a private tutor.

June 21 2017: The ACT scores have just been released and it would seem that the course truly didn't work.
