About the Course

Our eight week ACT Prep Course is designed for students who want to improve their scores and gain confidence in their test taking skills. Students will be provided the structure of a set curriculum with our 16-hr Prep Course.

This option will provide each student with a comprehensive understanding of the material covered on the ACT & will provide essential strategies to improve their score.

The ACT Prep Course meets each week for one-hour sessions leading right up to the official ACT.

This class is brought to you by Live Stream Prep – an online prep partner of Get Smarter Prep.

ACT Course Details

Students will be provided the structure of a set curriculum. With each two-hour session, you will cover topics tested on the ACT, including topics from the English, Math, Reading, and Science sections.

While knowledge of the content is essential, you must also learn strategies specific to the exam in order to maximize your score. You will learn new ways to think about the exam that will help you maximize your score & become more confident in your abilities.

There will be a practice set of questions associated with each lesson for you to complete independently after the session; reinforcing the new approaches taught during the sessions is essential.

Preparing for the ACT

Did you know that the ACT is a psychometric exam? This means that the test was actually created by psychologists – not our teachers from school. Our approach to the ACT is as unique as the test itself.

While knowledge of the content is essential, students must also learn strategies specific to the exam in order to maximize their score. Students will learn new ways to approach the exam, from simple unique strategies for particular question types all the way up to section-based strategies, geared to make the test much easier for you to achieve a higher score.

Learn how to approach the test in a smarter way!

What Our Students Say About Us

Great experience! My daughter improved ACT by 6 points. The tutoring sessions were set up at our convenience and easy to get to. Highly recommend!

Cori Passer

Blue Valley West Parent | Class of 2024

My husband and I both work full time, and with four kids, our evenings were total chaos between homework, practices, and events. Homework was by far the most stressful part. Get Smarter Prep has lifted that weight off of our shoulders. We know our boys are getting the guidance they need, and our world is peaceful again!

Tamara Day

Blue Valley North Parent | Class of 2023

We had a wonderful experience at Get Smarter Prep! Caleb explained the process and options. Our daughter set what we thought were realistic goals for the time we had before the next testing event. In six sessions with the amazing tutor Ashley, she raised her score 6 points!!! That far exceeded our expectations and we could not thank Get Smarter enough!

Sarah Pack

Shawnee Mission South Parent | Class of 2023

The pricing schedule is worthwhile and reasonable. The truth is that the tutors care about our kids' success and they want their time teaching to bring relevant results. They're pulling for our kids. My son knew that and I'm convinced that support played a big part in getting across the finish line with great results. He is headed to the US Military Academy Prep School. Get Smarter Prep was a critical component to his journey, story, and future and we can't thank them enough.

Michael Tetu

Park Hill Parent | Class of 2023

We were very impressed with Get Smarter Prep. My senior son was able to work 1:1 with Ashley for only 10.5 hours and raised his ACT score 4 points! The communication was superb, the location was clean and quiet, and they did a fantastic job teaching appropriate strategies to improve overall test taking skills and knowledge. Thank you Get Smarter Prep!

Mel Bright

Blue Valley High Parent | Class of 2023

My son did private tutoring at Get Smarter Prep in preparation for the ACT. His scores went up dramatically in the areas he was struggling with. He took his test in July and met his goal. My son was thrilled and now he can focus on Junior year without the stress of the ACT. I know that people usually get 'tutoring' for students they hope will go onto very high end schools, but even students planning on attending a state school can benefit from a bump in their scores. My son is now eligible for scholarships from KU, K-State, and UMKC. Even a little tutoring can go a long way!

Caleb did a great job and and my daughter got a 3 point increase on her ACT!!

Jo Gibson

Olathe West High School Parent | Class of 2022

We couldn't be more pleased with the outcomes that both our daughters have realized after working with Get Smarter Prep. 7+ point increases for both of them sure opens up their opportunities!

Jenny Bessenbacher

Thank you for your help! Get Smarter Prep helped me get over the hump to a perfect score of 36. You guys were great!

Harvey Ji

Shawnee Mission East | Class of 2020

Your program/tutoring helped my son jump 3-7 points in certain sections!!! Really fantastic and such a great confidence booster for him! Also, such a testament to the program. This makes it possible, coupled with his awesome grades, to look at the schools he was interested in. We will share your name with others and really appreciate your guidance.

Our high school senior worked with Ashley for 7 weeks prior to taking the ACT and it was worth the time and money! He increased his score by 4 points and was thrilled. Luke consistently had great things to say about Ashley and how much he enjoyed working with her. She focused on the areas that he needed to improve upon and we definitely saw improvement in those areas. We had heard great things about Get Smarter Prep, and after our own experience, I would 100% concur. Get Smarter Prep gets results!!

I would absolutely recommend Get Smarter Prep for ACT test prep and also college counseling. Caleb took his time getting to know our daughter's needs and was able to provide the right tutors to help her succeed. We appreciated that he was always available along the way for questions and discussions.Our daughter brought her ACT score up 6 points after working with Abbey. She is excellent and was a great fit for our daughter.Get Smarter Prep was amazing along the entire process. Thank you GSP for making what could be a stressful time much better!

Our 2 high schoolers attended classes at Get Smarter Prep to raise their ACT grades. We were very satisfied with the classes and especially the results. The classes were intense so I am not saying it was easy but my kids stuck with it and both raised their scores by a good margin. We would definitely recommend this service to others. It was not the cheapest option but the program worked for us. If my HS junior decides to repeat the ACT (not likely) we would use the service again. Our instructor was Caleb but I understand they have some other great tutors as well. Regards, John

My twin boys completed the Presidential prep course with Caleb. It was so beneficial to them. It was alot of work, but when all was said and done one raised his score by 5 points and the other raised his score by 6 points! I highly recommend Caleb and Get Smarter Prep!!

My son Trevor worked with Ashley on his ACT prep. We encouraged Trevor to work hard to minimize the number of times he has to take the exam. Ashley provided so many tips and tricks when taking the test. He had 9 sessions with Ashley prior to the Feb exam. Trevor was able to increase his score by 4 points. Trevor was so happy on the accomplishment and he would not have been able to do that without the help from GSP.

Caleb was great to talk to. He listened to what our expectations were, understood where our kid was w.r.t academic depth and tailored the curriculum perfectly. We are very fortunate to have found getsmarterprep.

The proof is in the test scores and my daughter, after working with a tutor from Get Smarter Prep, raised her ACT score to meet her stretch goal!!! Her stretch goal, meaning she never thought she could meet that number!!! Caleb and Get Smarter Prep was amazing and gave her the knowledge, skills and confidence to tackle the ACT! If you are on the fence, please just talk to Caleb!

I worked with Caleb for six hours and was absolutely thrilled with the results- I was able to meet my composite score goal of 35!! I really looked forward to the sessions; they provided just the right balance of content review and test-taking strategies! I would wholeheartedly recommend GSP to anyone who is prepping for the ACT :]

Get Smarter Prep was a great experience for our son who improved his ACT scores by 5 points. They were very flexible in rescheduling conflicts and accommodating his busy soccer and lacrosse schedule. The tutors were helpful, thorough and kind. Highly recommend using Get Smarter Prep services!

We had a great experience with Get Smarter Prep! To be honest, I myself was initially skeptical that a tutoring program would benefit (or even be necessary for) my already high-achieving student. I couldn't have been more wrong. Every individual from GSP with whom we dealt was professional, promptly responded to our particular needs, and was easy to work with. The particular test-taking tips and strategies my daughter learned from her tutor, Ashley, improved an already quite good score, to a really first-rate one. Ashley even was kind enough to call to congratulate my daughter on her test results (well after the program had ended), leaving me with the sense that the tutors employed by GSP are not just going through the motions, but rather truly care that each student has the chance to attain the best possible score. Overall, a very worthwhile investment.

Our daughter Meha got 35 on her first try. She had 29 on pre-test with Caleb, worked with him for barely six weeks. She just started her junior year and we were certain we would be re-testing with more tutoring. Caleb's ability to work with kids is simply amazing!

Mary Boessen

21:29 15 Jul 21

We could not be more pleased with our experience with GSP. Both of our children, who have very different personalities and study styles, really enjoyed working with Caleb. His fun, encouraging, and seasoned approach helped both of them reach their score goals. As a parent, I found Caleb to be a wonderful resource and partner, and I wholeheartedly recommend him!

Our experience with Get Smarter Prep was exceptional on every front! Our daughter was so pleased with her tutoring experience with Caleb and is thrilled with her ACT results after taking the December exam. GSP's custom, personal approach allowed her to be well-prepared for her first ACT exam while still fully engaging with her junior year interests and schoolwork. In addition to efficient, first-class test preparation, we are so grateful for the generous support they have provided to our student (and to us as parents) as we navigate the college process for the first time. Thank you!!

We had a very unique situation with GSP in that my daughter was involved in ACT tutoring before and during the pandemic. She had started with tutoring then the pandemic hit. Her ACT test was also cancelled 3 times. During all of the starts and stops Caleb was great about communicating with her and getting her things to practice at home, setting up office hours (when allowed) and working with her to keep her as engaged with practice as possible. After months of starting and stopping she finally was able to take the ACT and did great! She met her goal that she was hoping to meet which helped her get a scholarship to the school she was hoping to get into. We are very pleased with Caleb and Get Smarter Prep and the way that they kept her engaged and focused on her goal despite the all of the craziness and cancellations.

My son worked with Gina at Get Smarter Prep, and we are thrilled with the outcome. He worked very hard and raised his score significantly. Best of all, Gina was one of the first people he wanted to share the news with, which as a parent suggests to me that he respected her and liked working with her. Thank you!

Get Smarter Prep has a fantastic team of coaches that meet different student needs from different prep classes to one-on-one tutoring. They are committed to student success!

Our experience with GSP was amazingly professional and personalized to our daughter's needs. Claire explained things from pre-test that neither myself nor my husband or our daughter would have ever made sense of. Our daughter's strengths and weaknesses were honed in on, and it showed in her final ACT score... she had an 11 point jump! This has opened up her college options to a whole new level.

Doug Westerhaus

12:49 08 Jan 20

Because of our son's busy schedule, we wanted to find a tutor who could provide targeted ACT prep (without need for any parental nagging!). We are very grateful for Caleb helping our son substantially improve his ACT score. In addition to substantive work, Caleb shared test-taking strategies that put our son in a position to do his best on the test. Worth every penny of the cost, and likely to pay back disproportionately in scholarship assistance! Doug & Vicki (BVNW Parents)

Get Smarter Prep helped me so much when preparing for the ACT! Before them I had taken it about three times and got the same overall score (which was not great) and fluctuating individual scores. After studying with them for about 3 ish months I bumped my score up enough points to get me into the college I wanted!! They have a great staff that is so friendly and willing to help you with whatever needs you may have!

Get Smarter Prep provides a comprehensive program that prepared our daughter for the ACT. We were pleased with the help she received, and our daughter enjoyed the 10 week program thoroughly. I would recommend Get Smarter Prep to any family looking to understand and navigate the ACT.
