About the program
Carolyn Devane has been teaching ACT classes and helping thousands of students improve their scores since 1999. Here’s what students are saying:
"I went to your ACT prep class at SMS and the next day I took the ACT. I wanted to thank you that the prep class made my scores so much higher than last time! The first time I took it my scores were in the 10s. Now they are in the 20s! English and Reading are both 25s and Math 20. Thank you it really helped a lot."
— Sydney - Shawnee Mission South High School (February 2026)
“I feel much more confident in my abilities to manage my time better and carefully read questions and identify traps.”
— Braeden, Riley County High School (K-State class February 2026)
"I took your ACT prep course this past spring. I am so pleased to report that I ended my ACT run with a 33, compared to my first score of 27! Your knowledge and advice definitely played a role! Thank you for all you do."
— Dom - Hays High School (July 2025)
My first ACT I scored a 23 composite. I got my results back from the October 26th test (my second test) and met my goal! My composite score (and super score) is now a 26! My Reading score is up 8 points, and English is up 5 points! I want to thank you very much for your help and tell you how grateful I am to have been able to take your course and I don’t know if I could’ve done it without you."
— Mack - Raymore-Peculiar High School (November 2024)
"The most helpful thing during this course was learning how to manage your time during the test. It helped a lot and it boosts confidence. It shows you what the test is like and allows you to prepare for it.”
— Maggie, Manhattan High School (K-State class December 2022)
“My score increased from a 26 to a 29, and I pushed my super score up to a 31. Really glad I attended. Thanks.”
— Dalton - Purcell High School - Oklahoma (July 2021)
"I took your class at the K-State campus at the end of August! I was the kid that said you raised my score by three points! Well, guess what? You have outdone yourself once again!
"I received, with a super score, a 26 on the ACT!! That's a two point increase from my previous score! My score in my math section increased five points!!!! I used all your tips... and this math score really made me proud of myself.
"I've been getting even higher scores when I practice, so I am thinking about retaking the ACT in January or February! I just wanted to let you know that both of your classes have helped me to become a better test taker and a more accomplished students, and I want to thank you!!"
