In recent months several articles in major newspapers have highlighted an unsettling practice used by some companies in the test preparation industry. The companies in question use their own internally developed full length practice tests for their assessments. Unfortunately, some of these companies are intentionally making the first practice test that students take more difficult, in order to give the impression of greater score improvement over the course of the program.

We have always been concerned about the potential for companies to misuse their own internally developed practice tests in this way, but we never thought a company would have the gall to actually do so. Based on the findings of these articles, it now appears that many companies were utilizing this dishonest approach.

Since day one StudyPoint's policy has been to utilize actual real ACT's provided by the test maker as our assessments. More importantly, our score increase guarantee has always been based on your child's score improvement from the first assessment using an actual ACT to his or her actual ACT score after completing our tutoring.

We stand behind the quality and outcomes of our ACT tutoring, which is why we guarantee your results. If your child completes our 30-Hour ACT Program and doesn't improve by at least 3 points, we will provide you with an additional 18 hours of ACT tutoring for free. Likewise, if your child completes our 24-Hour ACT Program and doesn't improve by at least 2 points, we will provide you with an additional 18 hours of ACT tutoring for free.
