AllPencilsDown takes a different approach to helping students prepare for the ACT test.  We know that just working lots of practice will get you some improvement but the real improvement comes from learning how to think the way that the people writing the test do.  At AllPencilsDown we have more than 15 years of experience in analyzing former tests to see how the ACT uses certain words or phrases that give students helpful hints necessary to answer the questions.  

For example, in Science, our focus is teaching students how to think scientifically and apply deductive reasoning and logical thinking skills to the test.  After all, that is the way the test was written.  It was written to assess a student's skill level in these areas and others and our courses are structured to help students learn the skills being tested.

AllPencilsDown has provided classes, workshops and one-on-one tutoring for these tests for more than 15 years, helping many students from within the USA and around the world to achieve success to earn scholarships and/or be admitted to their universities of choice. Former students have studied at the highest ranked universities from Harvard to Stanford as well as many other great universities across the USA. The course presently offered is for the ACT with the SAT prep course currently in development — to be available later this spring.  

This course is challenging and a lot of work, but the results are worth it.
