Customers Reviews

What educators say:

This camp allowed the students to get tips and strategies. Also, the mini-quizzes challenged them to attempt the questions using the strategies shared! The Boot Camp team did a great job making the session fun and relaxing for our students. Glad that they were able to deliver the camp virtually during this pandemic. Students felt more confident at the end of the session!

Sonia Dempsey, Edinburg High School, TX

"The one-day ACT Boot Camp provided our students with a great deal of information that has proven to raise their ACT scores. From a breakdown of the content on the ACT to teaching them little "tricks" for success, our students are able to go into the testing session with more confidence."

Belinda Stewart, Gadsden State University, AL

The students stated they gained valuable information and insight in learning how to take the ACT. The instructor provided excellent information and seemed to relate well with the students.
