"Why is this so short?" you may ask.

It's because I value your time. I don't do fluffy introduction videos or explain wHy tHE ACT is IMporTant. Obviously, if you're here, it is because you want to improve your score, not because you want to waste your time listening to people introduce themselves.

Throughout this concentrated course, we'll cover only the grammar rules necessary for the ACT using examples from past ACT tests, so no wasting your time, and we'll cover how to answer specific types the questions on the ACT. This last one may seem a bit self-explanatory, but because many students do it wrong, how to bubble in answers efficiently is also covered in this course.

Moreover, this course will expose you to real ACT questions from previous exams. By analyzing and practicing with these authentic examples, you'll become familiar with the test's format and develop the skills to tackle any challenge that comes your way.

So yeah. Save your precious time and improve your ACT score in just 36 minutes for the price of a sweatshirt.
