• BEFORE YOU SUBSCRIBE: PrepAccelerator strongly recommends the ACT English Bundle (PrepAccelerator.com/OnDemand), which combines this module with our 'ACT English Drills' module, as students typically need both modules to improve their ACT English score. The ACT English Drills module contains 19+ hours of detailed video solutions for 375 rigorous English drills and complements the theory taught in this ACT Boot Camp module.

  • The ACT English section expects students to answer 75 questions in 45 minutes. English grammar rules and rhetorical skills are evaluated. Most schools do NOT teach English grammar today, so students typically choose the multiple choice that 'looks right,' 'sounds right,' or 'does not look weird.' (Ask your student!) For a meaningful score improvement, students should master these grammar rules and rhetorical skills. Our module teaches students how.

  • This module reproduces the ACT English segment of PrepAccelerator's popular live online ACT Boot Camp that has helped thousands of students achieve their target score. For live boot camp details, visit PrepAccelerator.com/ACTEvents.

  • This module includes 7 hours of detailed, self-contained video lessons spanning important theory, practice questions (38), and solutions. Also included are detailed instructions on how to get the most value out of this module, resources to improve the section score, and rigorous next steps for effective practice after the completion of this module.

  • Parents are strongly encouraged to view the Preliminaries and Next Steps chapters of this module with their student. Spanning 50 minutes, these chapters will help parents understand how they can help their student plan the study timetable and achieve mastery of the material in a timely fashion.

  • This module also includes test-taking tips and identifies common student errors. Additionally, important grammar rules and rhetorical techniques for memorization are highlighted frequently during this module. Students are told to turn these rules and techniques into paper flash cards for memorization since ACT English tests memorization and quick recall.

(Junior) Parent: Dublin Jerome High School, Ohio

"Morning Dr. Sampath, Hope you are well! Just wanted to tell you that my son scored a 31 on the February ACT. He is happy with that score and relieved to be done. He scored 32’s on everything but English, which he scored a 27. Hopefully you will still be providing this service in four years – that will be our last kiddo through – Class of 2030. We have really appreciated your tutoring and insight, as well as your sense of humor throughout the process. You really are great with the kids! Thank you again and take care."

(Junior) Parent: Solon High School, Ohio

"Hi Dr. Sampath, Happy New Year! I hope you are doing well. I am reaching out to share an update on my daughter's progress and seek your guidance. As discussed, she took her first ACT in December and received the following scores: English: 35 Math: 33 Reading: 35 Science: 25 Her composite score is 32. Thank you once again for your time and support!"

(Senior) Parent: Bishop Watterson High School, Ohio

"Hi Dr. Sampath, The reason for my email this morning is to let you know that last night, we found out that she was accepted to the University of Notre Dame. As you may remember, this was her first choice for college. When we started working with you for ACT prep, you suggested that with Notre Dame as her goal, she should aim for a 35 ACT. We trained with you last winter and into spring, and on her first attempt, she got a 34. In June, she made another attempt and got that 35 composite she was hoping for (and working for!). I know many factors contribute to an acceptance from an elite school, but I am certain that the 35 ACT helped boost her application! I am thankful for your suggestions from the beginning and, of course, for your help getting my daughter prepped for the ACT and helping her knock it out of the park! To say the least, we are ecstatic for her!"

Parent: Gahanna Lincoln High School, Ohio

"Dr. Sampath, I just want to thank you again for your class! As you know, my daughter (Gahanna Lincoln HS 2023 graduate) was able to get a score high enough to get her into Ivy League schools! She is in her sophomore year at Cornell and a starter on the basketball team! She's doing great as a Data Sciences major and full academic scholarship. I told all my friends about your course! Just wanted to let you know that we are Thankful!"

(Junior) Parent: New Albany High School, Ohio

"Hi Dr. Sampath, Just wanted to let you know that my son scored 1510 with 226 index score in PSAT. He is at 34 for ACT and wants to try one more time. Thank you for all your support!"

(Junior) Parent: Olentangy Orange High School, Ohio

"Hello Dr, Sampath, Just wanted to update you that my son has achieved his target ACT score of 34. He did your bootcamp in Nov and it helped him a lot in English and Math. He didn't take the tests quite seriously yet, also his phone habits and late nights continued. We did a private consultation with you in early January and then he became a little more focused. He started to get a perfect score in Math in the practice tests. He took the ACT in Feb and scored 33 composite, Math 36, English 32, Reading 32, Science 32. He tested again in March and got Composite 33 again, Math 35, English 34, Science 31 and Reading 30. So his composite scores in both tests remain the same, but his superscore is 34. Again, thank you for all your help throughout and giving the best advice possible."

(Rising Senior) Parent: Dublin Jerome High School, Ohio

"Hi! We received ACT scores. He received 35 on Math and 36 on the other three sections."

(Rising Junior) Parent: New Albany High School, Ohio

"Hello Dr. Sampath. Just wanted to let you know - My son got his ACT score today and he scored overall 35 (36 Math, 36 Reading, 35 science and 34 English). He seemed a little disappointed with the 34 and very happy with 36 in Math without a calculator and overall he seems happy with it. Thank you for all the tips and pointers you have equipped them with during the boot camp. My gratitude for all that you have done for them."

(Junior) Parent: Worthington Kilbourne High School, Ohio

"Hi Dr Sampath! I just wanted to let you know that my son got a 36 on the ACT! As you know, he took full advantage of your services and embraced your advice. Leading up to the exam he: 1) attended your ACT crash course [Note: This student had previously attended our SAT-PSAT Boot Camp.] 2) used your ACT handbook 3) attended your private tutoring to zero in on the most challenging areas 4) completed 3 practice tests the weeks leading up to the exam and then worked on the questions he missed in between each practice test 5) took the practice tests early in the morning on weekends with timer to simulate the actual environment 6) went to bed at 9:30 most nights leading up to the test All of these activities helped him to gain confidence and remove some of the uncertainty. Parent tip: Be sure to drive your student to the exam! Thank you so much for all of your support!"

Rising Senior: Round Rock High School,Texas

"Hello Dr. Sampath, Hope you are doing well! I took the July 15th ACT and got my scores back yesterday. My composite score was a 35 (35 Math, 35 English, 35 Science, 33 Reading). I am not planning to take the SAT or ACT again, and will be moving forward to working on my college applications. Thank you so much for all of your help this past year. I definitely couldn’t have done it without your guidance and resources."
