Proven by Results.
ConnectPrep's ACT curriculum was built from the ground up — drawing on 12+ years of teaching the ACT, deep analysis of every official ACT test, and ongoing research into what separates 34+ scorers from the pack.
Most prep courses teach you to answer questions. We teach you to think like the test-maker — understanding why each answer is right, why wrong answers are wrong, and how to never fall for the same trap twice.
A complete framework covering all English question types: punctuation, grammar, rhetorical skills, transitions, and sentence structure with zero guessing.
Passage-first methodology with specific approaches for every passage type — Prose Fiction, Social Science, Humanities, Natural Science — for maximum speed and accuracy.
A structured approach covering Pre-Algebra, Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra, Coordinate Geometry, Plane Geometry, and Trigonometry — every topic, every question type.
Science isn't about memorizing facts — it's about reading graphs, comparing experiments, and applying logic under time pressure. Our system makes it the fastest section to improve.
Scores That Open
Every Door.
"My tutor knew exactly which question types were costing me points. The framework for ACT Science was unlike anything in any prep book."
"I had plateaued at 29 with two other tutors. ConnectPrep identified that I was losing points in ACT English from the same transition errors — something no one else had caught."
"Once ConnectPrep broke down my ACT Science error patterns, everything clicked. I finally understood why I was misreading Data Representation passages."
"My Math went from a 28 to a perfect 36. The way ConnectPrep structures ACT Math by category — algebra through trig — is genuinely different from anything else."
"The active reading method cut my ACT Reading time by 3 minutes per passage and raised my score by 4 points in Reading alone."
"Not 'practice more reading' — but 'here's exactly why you're choosing the wrong answer on ACT Reading paired passages.' That specificity was everything."

Where Our Students
Get In.
ConnectPrep students have been accepted to the most competitive universities in the country, including every Ivy League school, MIT, Stanford, and top liberal arts colleges.
The ConnectPrep Method:
Laser Focus. Elevated Mindset.
Most ACT prep programs teach you content. ConnectPrep teaches you how to think — fundamentally changing how you see, approach, and deconstruct every question on the test.
No wasted sessions. Every minute is directed at the exact question types, content areas, and habits costing you points. We never review what you already know — every session is surgical.
ACT follows rigid patterns. Once you learn them, wrong answers become obvious before you finish reading them. We teach the author's logic — how traps are built and exactly why they fail.
The gap between a 29 and a 34 isn't just content knowledge — it's how you approach uncertainty, manage time pressure, and recover from hard questions without spiraling. We train that too.
The foundation every student builds on — from session one.
Never prep blindly. Every plan starts with knowing exactly where ACT points are being lost — and why.
Wrong answers have causes. We find them and resolve them — not just mark them wrong and move on.
Every question type has a repeatable framework. Students stop relying on instinct and start relying on process.
Content without timing is incomplete. Every technique is drilled until it's automatic under real ACT pressure.
The debrief is where improvement happens. Every wrong answer gets classified, understood, and resolved.
Annotated ACT Deconstruction:
See the Method in Action.
This is how ConnectPrep tutors approach every question — not by guessing, but by applying a structured framework that makes the right answer the only logical choice.
Every question is a system,
not a mystery.
Students who score 34+ don't know more than students who score 29. They have a systematic approach to every question type — and they never panic.
"This ACT Science passage is confusing. I don't understand the experiment. I'll guess and move on."
"Both B and C look right. The graph is hard to read. I'll go with my gut and hope for the best."
"This is a Conflicting Viewpoints passage. I know exactly which scientist said what, and where the answer is."
"B contradicts the data in Table 2. Eliminated. C matches Figure 1 exactly. Done in 30 seconds."

Results You Can
Read About.
"I came in at a 29 and left with a 34. ConnectPrep showed me it wasn't about working harder. It was about working on the right things. Every session felt purposeful."
"I had tried two other programs and was still stuck at 29. In my second session, my tutor identified three specific patterns in my English wrong answers that no one had ever caught. Six weeks later I scored 35."
"My tutor turned ACT Math into a system I could actually follow. Going from a 30 to a 36 in Math was something I honestly didn't think was possible for me."
"As a parent, what impressed me most was how communicative the ConnectPrep team was throughout the process. We always knew where our son stood and what the next step was. He went from a 27 to a 33."
"My Reading score went from a 28 to a 34. My tutor broke down every question type so clearly that I started spotting wrong answers before I even finished reading the options."
"The diagnostic session alone was worth it. In 90 minutes, my tutor figured out exactly where I was losing points and built a plan around it. I ended up scoring a 35."

Inside the ConnectPrep
ACT Curriculum.
A detailed look at exactly what we teach in each section of the ACT — and why our approach produces results that generic courses can't match.
We teach students to read for error first — not for meaning. By identifying the most common ACT grammar patterns (comma splices, dangling modifiers, wordiness), students answer English questions in under 20 seconds each.
We never teach students to guess or skip. Every ACT Math question type has a specific entry point, approach, and check. Students learn to solve Plane Geometry problems in under 60 seconds using structured frameworks, not intuition.
We teach students to read each passage once, actively, using a specific annotation system for each of the four passage types. This eliminates re-reading and typically saves 4–5 minutes per section.
ACT Science tests reasoning, not memorized biology or chemistry. We teach students to treat every passage as a data puzzle — skim the intro, read the questions first, then find the answer in the figures. This approach typically improves Science scores by 3–4 composite points alone.

ACT Elite Bootcamp,
Answered.
What ACT score range is this program designed for?
The ACT Elite Bootcamp is designed for students scoring 28–32 who are targeting 34, 35, or 36. Students starting below 28 may benefit from our standard ACT tutoring program first before transitioning to Elite.
How long is the ACT Elite Bootcamp program?
Programs typically run 8–16 weeks depending on the student's starting score, target score, and available test date. Most students targeting a 34+ from a 29 complete the full 16-week program for maximum results.
How many sessions per week are included?
Most students in the Elite Bootcamp attend 2 sessions per week (each 60–90 minutes) plus independent practice between sessions. Session frequency is adjusted based on your schedule and test date proximity.
Is the ACT Elite Bootcamp available online?
Yes — the full Elite Bootcamp is available online nationwide via live video. We also offer in-person sessions in Westport CT, Greenwich, Darien, Wilton, Westchester NY, and New Jersey. Both formats deliver identical results.
How does ConnectPrep's ACT Elite program differ from regular ACT prep?
The Elite Bootcamp is a proprietary, diagnostic-driven curriculum specifically engineered for students targeting the 99th percentile. Unlike standard prep courses that teach broad content review, the Elite program uses detailed error pattern analysis to identify the specific question types costing each student points — then builds a surgical plan to recover them.
What score improvement can I realistically expect?
ConnectPrep students average a 5–7 point ACT composite increase. Students in the Elite Bootcamp targeting 34+ typically achieve their target score within the program timeframe, with 85%+ reaching a 34 or higher by the end of the program.
