That’s where I come in...
Welcome to online ACT prep from Higher Scores Test Prep. I'm so glad you're here!

Hi! I'm Lauren, your ACT teacher.
When I transitioned from charging $250 per hour for my in-home tutoring services to offering my ACT prep programs online, I was bound and determined to reduce the 2 biggest stressors of the testing experience:
- the time it takes students to prepare, and
- the cost of quality preparation for parents.
I’m proud to share that, over the last 12 years, I've helped thousands of students to not only improve their test scores, but also leverage their higher scores to earn 5- and 6-figure merit aid and scholarship awards.
And now I want to share my secrets for success on the ACT with you because the sooner you begin your journey to higher ACT scores, the sooner you can be done - with more free cash for college than you ever imagined possible.
Let's begin by dispelling some myths about the ACT...
1. Contrary to popular belief, the ACT is not a measure of innate talent or IQ.
The ACT is just like any other test in that you can study for it and improve your score - even if you’re “just a bad test taker.”
But, unlike your teacher’s multiple choice tests, the ACT is designed so you can’t accidentally stumble across your most amazing score. You need a guide to help you see the tricks and traps that the test maker lays.
2. There are thousands of dollars in a test score - and not just for the top 1% of test takers.
For example, Barton College in North Carolina has a scholarship for $34,000 over 4 years granted to students with a 2.5 GPA and 63rd percentile ACT scores.
This is just 1 of hundreds of examples, and I show you how to find these opportunities in both of my ACT prep courses.
3. At many test-optional colleges, choosing to not submit ACT scores can hurt your chances of admission and exclude you from merit aid opportunities.
Sadly, many families don’t realize this until it’s too late. My students and their families learn this fact early so they can make sure they’re able to take advantage of every opportunity to stand out to admissions panels and receive scholarships too.
Our daughter went through your ACT prep a few years ago and we could not have been happier! She is now a rising sophomore having earned close to $100,000 in scholarships thanks in large part to her high ACT score. (Thx again!)

The strategies offered were very different from those I had been trying and gave me a whole new way to approach the test. Although I was skeptical of a few at first, they ended up making the difference in my score. I ended up getting a 35 with Lauren’s help.
Grace O.
Skeptical Student
One of my children has never been a good test taker, but she implemented Lauren’s strategies and found that they really worked! Her scores in English and Reading were each 3 points higher than her practice test. She was absolutely thrilled.

Homeschool Mom
You know the ACT is a critical piece of your college application.
You also know that the right score at the right school can provide you with thousands of dollars in free cash for college - even at “test optional” schools.
Because so much is riding on this test, it can be agonizing deciding who to trust as your guide to new score heights - without breaking the bank or cancelling all fun for the foreseeable future.
So what are your ACT prep options? You can choose from:
- self-guided prep that devolves into endless timed drills with no forward progress,
- automated online programs and apps that are as impersonal as they are ineffective,
- long-winded in-person classes that are impossible to fit into your busy schedule and a snooze-fest to boot, or
- private tutoring that costs an arm and a leg and comes with heaps of homework.
But what you really need is an ACT prep course that provides you with:
- a step-by-step ACT study guide that illuminates the perfect prep path,
- score-specific strategies for each subject area,
- on-demand lessons that allow you to prepare when it fits your busy schedule,
- clear communication with both parents and students, and
- a free bonus workshop to show you how to turn your test scores into thousands of dollars in free tuition dollars - even if you’re not a 99th percentile scoring student.

Boom! That was the first word out of my daughter’s mouth when she got her December ACT sore back. She scored a 33! I couldn’t be more proud of her. She was diligent in studying the material and it paid off. Thanks Lauren!
