Hey mark, I improved my score on the ACT from a 19 to a 24. I really appreciate the help that you and Mr. Barbour gave. Thank you.

Thanks for the camp, I think it really helped me look at my weaknesses and allowed for me to focus on those before the test. I'm planning on taking it again because I'm shooting for a 32.

Want to let you know that the ACT Boot Camp helped Erin. Her first ACT test March 9 - she scored a 27. The one she just took at Thomas More on June 12--- she scored a 31!!!! We were so proud of her.

Mr. Barbour, I don't know if I am allowed to be messaging you or not, but I don't really care. I just wanted to tell you that I got my ACT score back and it raised five points!!! And I hope to increase more. Thanks sooo much.

Even with the two practice test I saw a 2-point improvement in my score,
which I hope will improve even more on the real ACT. That alone shows me
the course was worth the time and effort I put into it. The HW sucked, the
hours sucked, but they were well worth it.

I think that you guys did a great job. If I had to take a 3-hour course
every week with boring instructors then I wouldnít have lasted. I
liked the worksheets. I did those more than anything else. I think
we should have had one extra week at the end to either review
the things we learned as reminders. That could have been very
beneficial; just a suggestion.

This course was good. The YouTube clips were funny and the breaks were a
good way to stretched.
---
It sucked that my job sucks. . . and that that consumes my life when I
should have prepped myself more. More interactions with the people. . . like
have students answer and explain more so they can know specifically what
they do wrong.
---
Having breaks and getting a good laugh in with YouTube videos made it fun.
Also joking around and lightening things up with stories. Homework sucked
when you have other school homework but a week helped.
---
The course helped me know what the ACT will be like and what to be
prepared for.

You guys are da bomb.
---
Focusing on each topic and explaining the hardest subjects was awesome.
---
You are da bomb; YouTube was great.
---
I like that it wasnít rushed. Like 5 weeks was sufficient to learn I believe. The homework kinda sucked. . . but I am sure doing it helped. You guys were fun and made learning fun.
---
It sucked knowing every Tuesday I would be sitting in a room for 3 hours straight. But the instructors made it fun/enjoyable and the time always went faster than I thought it would due to that.
---
I really liked how much I learned, even being in a more laid back setting. I hated some of the homework, because it was sometimes repetitive.
---
You guys made something that shouldíve sucked bearable. Thanks for that. That being said, ease up on the homework.

I really think this course will improve my score. . . although Junior year material and content will help my score. The thing that hurt me most on the test was managing time and tricks for each section. . . have to say this class was way better than the Geller class. . . I hated that class and you couldnít pay me to take it again! So thanks for making it interesting.
