An-act-success-story-jake-knight. Jake started with a composite score of 19 on his initial diagnostic. A junior at a competitive private school in the Los Angeles area, he struggled with math fundamentals and he self-identified as “bad at reading”. He also worried that he “was never taught any grammar in school.” Jake was concerned that he would not get into a competitive college with his initial score yet was ambivalent about the ACT Prep process.

By the end of his ACT preparation, he improved his composite score by 9 points and, in his most improved section, he improved an incredible 14 points.
