FAQs

The ACT is a standardised test used for college admissions in the United States. It assesses a student’s readiness for university-level work and plays a key role in the admissions process for many US universities.

The ACT consists of sections in English, Mathematics, and Reading, with optional Science and Writing sections. Each section is scored individually, with a composite score ranging from 1 to 36. Note that the ACT is undergoing changes to its structure.

Preparation time varies depending on the student’s starting point and target score. We recommend spending at least 3-6 months on focused ACT preparation if you’re aiming for a score of 32+, especially if you’re applying for competitive universities.

Our bespoke approach combines 1:1 ACT tutoring or small-group ACT preparation courses with expertly designed learning resources and teaching from experienced instructors. This ensures that each student receives targeted guidance to improve their score efficiently.

Students receive access to our ACT Book of Knowledge, which contains comprehensive guides, practice questions, and test strategies. We also offer complimentary proctored practice tests to simulate the real test conditions.

Yes, we provide flexible online ACT prep, which mirrors the quality of our in-person sessions in London. Students can access expert guidance from the comfort of their own homes, making it easier to fit preparation into their schedules.
