The Staffs approach

The right work.

We’ve broken past ACT tests down by skill and counted how often each one appears. You learn what comes up most, how to approach those questions, and ways to save time.

In the right order.

Some skills come up more often. Some are easier to improve. We combine the numbers from past tests with what we’ve learned from teaching students to decide what deserves attention first. That’s Frequency + Ease.

A strategy you can use.

Learn practical shortcuts and pacing strategies, then put them to work in your own practice. Watch the course overview to see what to expect.

Learn the
Approach

Two focused three-hour sessions cover the patterns, strategies, and pacing you can use in your preparation. Choose English/Reading, Math/Science, or both.

Put It
into Practice

Ready to practice? You can add Practice Software with Frequency + Ease built in. It tells your student what to work on next, when to take a full-length test, and when a tutor could help.

Revisit the
Strategy

Your live course includes a recording, so you can revisit the explanation when a question brings you back to a strategy from class.

FAQs

When should my student take the crash course?

The ideal time is when your student is ready to put the strategies into practice. Taking the course with time to practice afterward helps reinforce what they learn and keeps the approach fresh for test day.

If the test is coming up soon, the course can still help your student prioritize their remaining prep and learn time-saving strategies they can use right away.

Is the complete course three hours or six?

The complete ACT course includes two three-hour sessions: English/Reading and Math/Science. Take both for six hours of instruction, or choose one session.

Is Practice Software included?

No. You can take the course on its own or add Practice Software. Frequency + Ease is built into the software, so it helps your student decide what to practice next. It also suggests when to take a full-length test or get help from a tutor. Tutoring is optional and costs extra.

Will my student still need to practice?

Yes. The course teaches strategies and priorities to use in preparation. Practice gives your student the opportunity to apply them. Software is available if you would like help organizing that work.

Which Score Guarantee applies?

The guarantee depends on the product, starting score, and required work. Read the current Score Guarantee and requirements for the option you choose.

This is the first time I'm seeing these classes. Can you tell me more about Staffs Prep?

Yeah of course! Staffs has been prepping students for standardized tests for over 17 years. We started as a one-man in-home tutoring business in Mount Laurel, New Jersey in 2009. Over the next 7 years, we quickly expanded to running after-school prep classes all around NJ. But after teaching long 16-hour prep courses for years, we realized it was not the most efficient way to prep. So in 2016 we created our Crash Courses- an efficient blend of content, tricks, and strategy designed to improve student scores as efficiently as possible- and would run them to packed auditoriums on weekends at local high schools!

You can learn more about our story here.

Are all your classes virtual?

Yes, we used to run in-person classes throughout NJ, but going virtual has allowed us to help students from all across the US improve their test scores!

If my child isn't available during the class time, can they watch the rest later?

Yes, definitely! The class is a webinar with a live chat-- we set it at a specific time so students can get their questions answered by a live instructor through the chat. But if you can't make any part of the class for any reason, you can always just rewatch the webinar later!

Does my child's video need be on for the classes?

No, we do not ask students to turn on their video during classes. Any questions that they have during the class can be asked via our live chat.

Can I speak to someone about my child's test prep?

Yes definitely, we would be happy to talk to you about your child's prep! You can email us at any time at contact@staffsprep.com, or call us during our business hours 9am-5pm EST at (201) 301-8378.
