WOW ! I'm glad that I didn't go by the reviews when I signed my son up for the ACT prep course in Orlando. My child is a decent / average student. He is a HORRIBLE standardized test taker. He has been failing FCAT since 4th grade despite being an A / B student. He finally has passed all of those necessary to graduate, and he is preparing for his Senior year. He took the ACT in April as a baseline and didn't do very well. I signed him up for the ACT prep couse in Orlando, and he retook the ACT in June---he improved by 3 points !! (still waiting for the writing, so it may be even more) Very please with Kaplan's couse and he will be taking it one more time and hoping for another 3 points.
He felt more confident and prepared going into the ACT.
OH...and my child is on a 504 and has accommodations (more time) at school. He did not get that for the ACT, but it didn't matter. The folks at Kaplan taught him how to pace himself and he finished in the given amount of time. read more
