ABOUT THIS CLASS

If you have an ACT date coming up and need to make serious gains on the Math and Science sections — fast — this 1-week bootcamp is built for you. Over four intensive sessions, you'll cut through the noise and focus on exactly what the ACT tests: algebra, geometry, data interpretation, and science reasoning. You'll learn how to manage your time under pressure, prioritize questions strategically using the Personal Order of Difficulty (POOD) method, and avoid the traps that cost students easy points. By the end of the week, you won't just know the material — you'll have a repeatable game plan for test day.

SYLLABUS

What This Bootcamp Is — and Who It's For This is a focused, high-intensity prep course designed for students who want to move the needle on their ACT Math and Science scores in a single week. Whether you're taking the ACT for the first time and want to start strong, or you're retesting and need to close the gap on these two sections, this bootcamp gives you the structure, strategy, and practice you need. Four sessions. Real ACT content. No filler.

ACT Math: From Algebra to Geometry, With Strategy Built In On the math side, this bootcamp zeroes in on the topics that appear most frequently on the ACT. You'll work through exponent laws — simplifying and manipulating expressions — and tackle quadratic equations through factoring, solving, and graphing. Geometry gets serious attention too: you'll master the standard equation of a circle, learn how to identify the center and radius from any form, and calculate sector area and arc length using the correct formulas. Every math topic is taught alongside a strategic lens — you'll learn not just how to solve problems, but which problems to solve first based on your personal strengths.

ACT Science: It's a Reading Test in Disguise The ACT Science section trips up a lot of students because it looks intimidating — dense passages, data tables, competing hypotheses. But once you understand what it's actually testing, the whole section becomes much more manageable. In this bootcamp, you'll learn to quickly identify what a passage is asking, locate the relevant graph or table, and pull out exactly the information you need to answer each question. You'll practice recognizing trends (direct vs. inverse relationships), interpreting experimental setups (identifying variables and controls), and drawing conclusions from data — all skills that transfer across every science passage you'll encounter on test day.

Test Strategy Is Half the Battle Content knowledge only gets you so far. This bootcamp dedicates real time to the strategic side of the ACT. You'll learn POOD — Personal Order of Difficulty — a method for sequencing questions so you're always working on what you're most likely to get right before tackling harder problems. You'll practice process of elimination to narrow down answer choices even when you're unsure, learn to spot common question traps, and develop a smart approach to guessing so you never leave points on the table. Time management is threaded throughout every session, because on the ACT, pacing isn't optional — it's essential.

What You'll Walk Away With By the end of this bootcamp, you'll have a clear picture of your strengths and weak spots, a toolkit of strategies you can apply immediately, and real practice under your belt with ACT-style questions across both sections. You'll leave with more than content knowledge — you'll leave with a test-day plan.
