ACT ADvantage: THE BEST CHOICE for TEST PREP

---

"My son took the 2025 summer classes with ACT Advantage with great results.  For example,  he took his English score on the Pre-ACT from a 25 to a 33 on the actual ACT after coaching. We are so happy.   He credits his prep  classes with helping him identify patterns in questions and in identifying patterns in what questions are actually asking. We are ecstatic with his composite score."

 “The test prep at my daughter's school did not make an impact on her score. I heard about ACT Advantage from a friend and was able to get her in those classes. Ella raised her scores +7, and I am so thankful that. "

 “I can’t say enough about our experience with Lauren’s ACT academic coaching. From the outset, she communicated clear plans and strategies tailored to my daughter's needs, instilling confidence and direction in her ACT preparation journey. The results speak volumes about Lauren's expertise and dedication. Thanks to her guidance, my daughter's ACT scores significantly improved. In addition to her remarkable professional abilities, Lauren's supportive and encouraging demeanor fostered a positive learning environment where my daughter felt motivated to excel. Her personalized attention and genuine investment in my daughter's success truly set her apart.” 

 “My son Sam was not a naturally gifted test taker and was a hands-on learner, requiring more than the online ACT prep course work. Lauren provided great prep and test taking strategies that allowed Sam to surpass his predicted ACT score and the goal we had set.  Her coaching and instruction ensured knowledge and skills Sam would need for years to come. I believe this carried him forward as well as he completed his undergraduate and sat for his GRE. Sam indicates that he continues to use the test strategies he learned with Lauren even now as a 2nd year Doctor of Physical Therapy student.” 

 “I highly recommend Lauren Bartel who academically coached all my four children from 2016-2022. Each child greatly increased their scores with her help. Lauren was a great resource for learning test-taking strategies for each part of the ACT test, teaching actual concepts as needed. My children gained the most value from the Science, English, and Reading sections. Lauren is very organized, thorough, and relevant in what she teaches.  She provided each one with independent practice to do in between sessions and worked to ensure their success in a timed environment. Her communication throughout the process with both myself and my children was outstanding.” 

 “Our son Charlie took both the Math and  Reading/Science/English prep classes with ACT Advantage. I am happy because he learned so much about test taking and raised his scores from the low 20's to a 29 composite. I recommend them highly. ” 

 “Both our son and daughter made huge improvements in their ACT scores after being coached by Lauren. She not only coached them through the academic parts of the exam, but also on test taking in general. I would highly recommend her  as both our kids got into colleges they wanted and both received scholarships based on their ACT scores.” 

 “We hired Lauren Bartel as our children’s ACT coach the summer between sophomore and junior year to help them better prepare for the unique content and structure of this challenging test. We assumed that they would repeat their coaching sessions during their Junior year, but both our children said they felt confident and they practiced with their materials provided that they didn’t need more sessions. We figured that they would need to take the ACT several times to achieve a desired result. They scored a 28 and 32 respectively on their first attempts and were happy with their results. You won’t be disappointed with this investment."

 “My son tried prep with another testing place but didn't get results. He said that taking a lot of tests didn't help and was disappointed that he wasted time. Then in January and February,  attended some prep at Arrowhead, and his March scores went way up.  He thinks that was because of the tips an teaching from his different prep teachers. I think other parents need to know that some test prep is better than others."
