Course Description



Why Hacking the ACT

You will spend over 4,000 hours of your life sitting in a classroom working towards your high school GPA, while the ACT is only a 4 hour test. 4,000 hours vs. 4 hours. And as crazy as it sounds, most colleges weight these two things almost evenly! Colleges put so much emphasis on test-taking skills, which is unfair to students who don't test well. I always tell my students that there's nothing that I can do about the fact that the system is unfair, so it's my job to make sure it is unfair in your advantage.

Some will tell you that as long as you work hard in school you will succeed on the ACT. This isn't necessarily the case. If you've already taken your first ACT, you know that a lot of the material wasn't anything you've covered in class and that the test writers purposefully include tricks to guide you towards the wrong answers.

You actually can master the ACT with the right strategies and enough practice. With this course led by Ryan Fitzgibbons, you are guaranteed to improve your score!

The Course

The ACT may try to dazzle you with confusing problems. I will not. This course will equip you with the tools needed to breakdown the ACT into easy to understand strategies and methods. Some of you may have attended one of my live courses or weekend camps. This program is a perfect supplement to review and prepare for your upcoming test day.

If you have not attended one of my live courses, don't worry! This online course includes every one of my strategies for being fully prepared for this four hour testing taking event that, for some reason, colleges think they can measure your worth as a human being and potential college applicant. Let's play the game and get you closer to the top of that pile.

Each of the courses offered includes all the same material, practice tests, videos and information. The only difference is the suggested timing to make sure you are prepared for the test day. Video presentations will walk you through each strategy for English, Math, Reading, Science, and Essay sections along with general overall tips.

This Summer Course includes everything that the Full Course has plus I walk through the latest actual ACT test. Each day you will watch a few of the strategy videos and complete a handful of the ACT test questions. This short summer is going to go quick and the fall is going to be here sooner than you think. This program will help keep you sharp for those final Senior year test dates!

Ryan Fitzgibbons

Hi! I’m Ryan Fitzgibbons, founder of Hacking The ACT. Ironically, I was a terrible student in high school. My GPA was so low that college admissions counselors actually laughed at me. Then I got my SAT and ACT scores back. And suddenly the Ivy League started calling. So was that fair? Not really. But it taught me the importance of playing the game, how much colleges care about a silly Saturday morning test, and how little things like test-taking strategies can alter the trajectory of a student’s life.Many students tell me my resume first encouraged them to take my course, but it was how much I care that caused them to refer their friends, family, and younger siblings. While the headlines sound fancy:Mensa MemberPerfect score on the SAT99th percentile on the ACTCompleted Bachelor's Degree at BYU in just 2 years Students received a total of 6 million dollars in college scholarships last year alone That’s not what makes a good instructor. I believe most of my referrals come from the fact that I lose more sleep anxiously awaiting my students’ test results than they do.Over a decade ago, I discovered my passion for tutoring and preparing students to beat the ACT. I taught for Kaplan for many years as one of their top instructors, did private tutoring, and taught test prep courses. With each of my live courses booking out in advance it seemed the best way to reach as many people as possible was to offer all of my tips, tricks and strategies in an engaging, easy to follow video instruction guide. I want you to succeed and I know that by going through this online course, you will dramatically improve your ACT score. Join me and have your story be our next success story.
