The ACT is testing you, but are you sure on what?
The ACT punishes you for everything high school teaches.
Instead of being slow and methodical, train yourself on speed and simple pattern recognition—the ACT rewards it.

I spent 5 years teaching both the SAT and ACT.

Two years ago, I stopped teaching the SAT entirely.

Here's what happened.

When College Board overhauled the SAT in 2024, I watched something break. Practice materials students had spent months working through became useless overnight. The test they walked into looked nothing like what they'd prepared for.

And their scores weren't improving.

I had a choice to make. Keep taking money from families for SAT prep that wasn't working? Or walk away from half my potential customers?

I walked away.

Boosted Brains went ACT-only. Not because the ACT is easier to teach. Because it's actually coachable.

When your business model depends on students improving, you can't fake results. I watched too many hardworking kids study for months and see minimal gains on the SAT after those 2024 changes.

Meanwhile, students prepping for the ACT? Still seeing 5, 6, 8-point improvements in 4-6 weeks.

That difference told me everything I needed to know.

Most test prep companies hedge their bets. They teach both tests because they don't want to turn away customers. I get it—that's safer for business.

But I couldn't keep teaching a test I didn't believe in anymore.

So now when families ask me "Should we prep for both tests and see which one goes better?" I tell them no. Pick one. Go all-in. And make it the ACT.

This decision cost me potential customers. SAT-focused families go elsewhere.

But the families who stay? Their kids are improving. Consistently. Predictably.

That's worth more than revenue.

Comment "ACT or SAT" below and I'll send you my full breakdown of both tests so you can see exactly why we made this call.

A baseball coach accidentally taught me how to score a perfect 36 on the ACT.

I was helping run a youth summer camp in high school.

The kids couldn't field a ground ball—and no matter what I said, nothing stuck.

My coach pulled me aside and said: "Carson, that's not how learning actually works. You break things down into fundamental skills and drill each one individually."

So we tried it.

Footwork only. Then glove work only. Then throwing only. Then put it together.

Kids who couldn't field a single ball were handling them cleanly by the end of the week.

A few months later I realized I'd been studying for the ACT the exact same way those kids had been trying to play baseball.

Just running the whole drill over and over hoping I'd magically get better.

Twelve practice tests from the big red prep book. 100+ hours of "studying."

Score: 31. Then 31 again. The score wouldn't move.

When I finally broke it down—find one weakness, drill that one thing only, then move to the next—my score jumped from 31 to 36. I've scored a perfect 36 thirteen times since then.

The ACT industry sells prep as something you study for.

It's actually a skill you train.

If your kid is sitting down with full practice tests every weekend and the score isn't moving, that's why. They're being asked to play the game before they've built the footwork.

If you want a breakdown of the system we use to figure out which "footwork" each kid needs to drill, comment SYSTEM and I'll send it over.

I had two ACT students at the same time. Same tutor—me. Opposite outcomes.

Vikram came in at a 25. He was working with me 4-6 hours a week, putting in 15-20 total hours between sessions and homework. He'd been at it for nearly six months.

Final ACT score: 27.

Carter came in at a 23. He was doing about an hour a day—maybe 7 hours a week total. He took the test seven weeks in.

Final ACT score: 30.

Same tutor. Opposite outcomes.

For a while I thought something was off with Vikram. It wasn't. The variable wasn't him, and it wasn't me. It was the plan.

Carter's family came in with a forced deadline. Eight weeks, locked test date, every session pointed at that date. We knew on day one exactly what we'd attack and when.

Vikram's family wanted "intense" prep—no defined timeline, no locked test date, just keep working. So we did. He was scoring into the 30s on practice tests around week five.

Then his scores started moving in the wrong direction. Burnout was setting in, and because I was getting paid hourly, I didn't push back on the timeline.

When parents shop for ACT help, they almost always evaluate the tutor—credentials, reviews, the tutor's own ACT score.

That's the wrong question.

The right one is whether the tutor will hand you a full plan from day one—with a fixed test date and the highest-priority weaknesses tackled first.

A great tutor with no plan will lose to a mediocre tutor with a great plan every time.

Most parents blame laziness when their teenager won't study for the ACT. It's usually neither of those things. ❌

🎯 Every kid already has motivation — your job is connecting their goal to what the ACT unlocks

📋 Even a motivated kid won't study if the system is hard to get to

💸 Liv had 25 hrs/week of band practice — a daily 30-min plan got her from a 26 to a 30 in four weeks and $140K in scholarships

A 36 got me into MIT, $500K in scholarships, and a finance job. A 31 got me nothing.

Here's what I learned after cracking the code:

📉 Doing what everyone does (practice tests, prep books) won't move your score
⚖️ Same tutor, completely different results — the method matters more than the hours
🔑 Once I figured out the real system, I went from a 31 to a perfect 36

College Board says the 2024 SAT changes are "cutting edge innovation."

Translation: they're optimizing for revenue, not student outcomes.

Let me be direct about this.

Shorter tests appeal to students who don't want to sit for 3 hours. Digital-only eliminates printing and distribution costs. Adaptive formats require fewer unique test forms.

These changes make business sense for College Board.

They don't make sense for students trying to prepare effectively.

I'm not guessing at their motivations. They've essentially stated this. They wanted the test to be "easier to market." They wanted to seem "cutting edge and fancy."

The result for students?

Practice materials became useless overnight. Systematic prep became significantly harder. Elite scores became more difficult to achieve.

But College Board got what they wanted—a more marketable test with lower operational costs.

Parents assume standardized testing organizations prioritize student outcomes and fair assessment.

They're a multi-billion dollar organization making business decisions.

Those decisions benefit their bottom line. Not your student's ability to prepare effectively.

This isn't conspiracy theory. It's understanding business incentives.

When an organization changes a test format in ways that break the prep ecosystem while simultaneously reducing their operational costs and broadening market appeal, those aren't educational decisions.

They're business decisions.

Your student is collateral damage.

The ACT isn't perfect. But they haven't made changes that deliberately undermine effective preparation.

Your student deserves a test where the organization's incentives align with student success. Not one where business priorities conflict with preparation effectiveness.

Here's why your kid's ACT score matters for recruiting:

📊 Coaches need to hit a minimum average ACT score for their recruiting class
🎓 A high score gives coaches a reason to push for academic scholarships — not just athletic ones
🏆 I had average baseball skills but a perfect 36 — that's what got me D1 offers

Prep books teach you the answer. The ACT changes the question.

Here's why most studying doesn't work:
📖 Prep books give you solutions, not the skill to find them
🪣 The ACT reuses patterns, not questions — you have to learn the buckets
✅ Drill the buckets and the test gets predictable — that's how I hit a perfect 36. Then did it a dozen more times to be sure.

If this resonated, comment "283" below and I'll send you my latest video that breaks all of this down. Think you'd find it useful. 👇
