An-act-success-story-jake-knight. Jake started with a composite score of 19 on his initial diagnostic. A junior at a competitive private school in the Los Angeles area, he struggled with math fundamentals and he self-identified as “bad at reading”. He also worried that he “was never taught any grammar in school.” Jake was concerned that he would not get into a competitive college with his initial score yet was ambivalent about the ACT Prep process.

Jake decided that he wanted to add in a couple more hours just to see if he could improve his August ACT score. He had climbed so significantly he felt that his initial diagnostic had no bearing on how much his score could lift. By the end of his ACT preparation, he improved his composite score by 9 points and, in his most improved section, he improved an incredible 14 points.
