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 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!!"

— Tobias, Shawnee Mission West High School (October 2020)

"Not going to lie. I’m scared to tell my mom that this singular course was much more effective than the ACT course she enrolled me in. I think I can finally get my 36 and be less scared to apply to my dream Ivy League School. 😊"

— Anonymous Student, K-State Act Class (June 2019)

"I took the class a week before the April ACT, and I improved my composite score by 3 points to a 30. I brought my English score from a 24 to a 31 and my Science from a 25 to a 31. The class really helped me with strategies."
— Bobby, Eudora High School (May 2018)

 I was able to increase my scores, with an overall 4-point increase in my composite. The test taking strategies helped me practice and manage my time. The class was worth the time and money.”

— Anonymous Student, Pittsburg High School (Dec. 2017)

"Thank you so much for coming to Sabetha High School. I took the December ACT, hoping for a 29 or 30. The previous test I had gotten a 27. When I got my score back, I had gotten a 32!! A five point increase!! Thank you for showing us testing skills and strategies; it helped a lot!"
— Anonymous Student, Sabetha High School (December 2016)

"I took the ACT in April and wanted to improve my score.  Then I took the ACT Power Prep Class in May and also did the timed practice tests at home to help prepare.  On the June ACT, my overall score went up 5 points and my science score went from a 24 to a 36!  This class was the key!  I truly learned the strategies needed to improve my score. Thanks for a great class Carolyn."
— Jared, Thomas More Prep - Marian High School   (June 2015)

"I'm so glad I took this course.  The strategies I learned in the class helped me to use my time during the test more efficiently.  My overall score improved by 5 points with my science category showing an 11 point increase!  It's definitely worth your  time."
— Anthony, Junction City High School  (Feb. 2015)

"I relied on the strategies taught in this prep class to raise my score because I didn't have a lot of time to study the material that would be on the test. My composite score raised 3 points and my science score raised 8 points alone. I now have the ACT score that I need to receive a much larger scholarship. Carolyn is the real MVP!"
— Hannah, Salina South High School  (April 2015)
