We’ve been very happy with our experience with Get Smarter Prep. The structured in-person classes were the best format for our son. He raised his score significantly! Highly recommend.

Greg Skoch

My son utilized private tutoring from Get Smarter Prep to raise his ACT from a 25 in June to a 33 in October! He has now qualified for some truly impressive scholarships as a result.

Rockhurst High School Parent | Class of 2026

Anne Schoofs

We are so pleased with the professionalism, the knowledge, the skills and the outcome we have had from our experience. Not to mention 100 percent positive, responsive, flexible and supportive interactions during a stressful and busy chapter! The super score went up a whopping 6 points and after working with you each section showed significant growth.

Finally, and probably most importantly in the long run, it increased her confidence that she can master material and test well even when the test formats are unintuitive to begin with.

The teachers were supportive, always ready to help, and the study materials were easy to follow and well-structured. Overall, we had a great experience and are truly thankful to Caleb and his team at Get Smarter Prep. I highly recommend them to any parent looking to help their child reach their ACT goals.
