SUMMIT ACT PREP ™ | One-on-One | ACT Test Results | 7 Points Up | 28 to 35

I just got my ACT score back and am so excited to tell you I got a 35!! Thank you so much for all of your help! I couldn’t have done it without you!

Going into ACT Prep with Mr. & Mrs.Kaliher, I was frustrated & did not think I would ever bring my scores up to where they needed to be. Quite honestly, I was not comfortable with the format of the test, would consistently run out of time, & had no idea what some of the questions on science were even asking?? After getting through most of the SUMMIT TEST PREP SYLLABUS ™ at the beginning, I started to feel more comfortable. I began to learn from my mistakes through Mr. & Mrs. Kaliher's stellar explanations. I used the Barron's Book and the ACT Prep Guide. I noticed a substantial difference in the level of difficulty between the two, with Barron's challenging me the most. However, I now appreciate this challenge. I think it was very beneficial to mess up & run out of time on the harder tests because they prepared me for the hardest of questions. I cannot thank Mr. & Mrs. Kaliher enough for their flexibility, patience, and overall help in preparing me for the ACT. This year has been filled with such uncertainty. However, they were always willing to accomodate my crazy busy schedule and reschedule most of my prep sessions after my tests were cancelled. They have pushed me to try my hardest, and I am confident I will do my best when I finally get to take an official ACT. Although we were virtual for most of my prep sessions, I have always felt welcomed into the positive environment they have created. I went into this entire process being intimidated, scared, and not confident with myself. I have come out prepared, confident, and ready to attack the ACT. Thank you so very much for all of your support and help. I truly appreciate everything! I promise to keep in contact and inform you of my scores and college plans.

I have some even better news! We received the scores from her last ACT test and she did even a better. She now has a 35!!!  What was even more exciting; Paul will love this .. she received a 36 in Science! Whoohoo! We reviewed her test and she did not get one wrong in the Science section- a perfect score! We are beyond elated with these scores and it certainly was a game changer! We can’t thank you enough for helping her achieve her goals! We will keep you posted as we hear about acceptances! 

Good morning Joan & Paul, We are Absolutely thrilled withher score!!!! A 35 was her goal all along! Those extra few tutoring sessions just boosted her.

**ASK ABOUT THE BOOSTER PROGRAM

We can’t THANK YOU enough for making her dream come true! We appreciate everything you did during this crazy time. So grateful she got the score she wanted. She couldn’t have done it without your help! If you can resend anything that you would like me to do to help you grow your business, I’d be more than happy to help! I’m not sure if she mentioned to you, but we took a very last minute trip out to see Dartmouth in New Hampshire on Monday. She loved it and decided that will be her early Decision choice. We will keep you posted as things transpire. Thank you again for everything you did!! I will make sure I sing your praises to all the other sophomore & junior parents! Warm regards.

In my honest opinion, I would consider the SUMMIT ACT PREP ™ as the most helpful thing I’ve used in my education career. The environment really helps to cater towards my specific needs while taking the ACT test. I think individually my tutors had a lot of knowledge of what they were doing, especially in the ways they could explain the problems I was having and how I can fix them. There are certain things on the ACT test that you could not do without the help of tutors like them. They help you realize patterns and different ways to take the test that are incomparable to anything else. Sincerely

Z. W. | Student | Naperville Central High School

Thank you for the incredible tutoring. Z was pleased with his score as he thought the test was actually harder than many of the practice tests. He has promised to continue practicing as he is signed up for the July test as well. I have copied a pic of his scores. He improved in every area. A 10 pt jump in English!

M is traveling, but I know she would be anxious to let you both know that she got her scores from her last ACT exam and got a 32! She’s very excited with the continued improvement. It also includes her best Reading and Science scores to date. Thanks again for all your work with her!Thanks so much, we are blessed to have such a wonderful daughter! She really enjoyed working with you both also. We’ll be sure to update you on the college decision and also get in touch again in about a year and a half when it is M’s brothers turn. ;)

M is at school but just found out the ACT scores from the rescheduled Feb test just posted. She brought her composite up by 2 points to a 28. We’re on the right track so far, thanks for all your help. I’ve snipped a copy of the scores below so you’ll have them for when you start working together again.

J made a 32 on his June 14 ACT. I think that is an excellent start. Interesting scores: 32, 29, 32, 35. This is from the ACT website. Thank you for your very special assistance, and we hopefully can discuss another set of strategically placed SKYPE sessions to help him move that score up. The most likely date for his next test will be the February 7 test date.

J earned a 34 on his most recent ACT. The increase was clearly achieved through your help by increasing his Math score from a 28 to a 33 (Eng 35, Math 33, Reading 31, Science 36). The guidance and support you provided has been essential to his success. Thank you. Sincerely,

I thought you would enjoy knowing that J has been accepted to both Air Force Academy and to Yale. He also applied to Annapolis, and has not yet heard back, so no rejections! I believe he is going to attend Yale on an ROTC scholarship. Thank you for being an essential part of making that happen for him.

Thank you guys again for your help. It made a tremendous difference, which my 2 point jump shows:

English-35 (two more than personal best)
Math-30 (same as personal best)
Reading-29 (two more than personal best)
Science- 33 (one less than personal best)
Composite- 32 ( two more than previous best)

I'm confident that with more work and the full time you guys suggested I would have been able to make that 32 a 33 or even 34, but I still think what you guys helped me do in such a short amount of time was incredible. Unfortunately, or fortunately I guess, I am finally done with the ACT! Woohoo!

Again, thank you both so much. I will send you a picture of myself as soon as I find one to send so I can begin my road to fame on your website instead of the road to a 36. ha ha. Thank you,

N P | Student | Waubonsie Valley High School
Very nice to get your email this morning. I will let N answer your question himself (we are waiting on final, final confirmation next week, but it turned out to kind of be a dream scenario for him/us — and it wouldn’t have been possible without the 32).

I wanted to send Merry Christmas wishes back to you and Paul as well. Thank you for your kind words toward N — every parent likes to hear someone else say nice things about their kids.

So, speaking of kids, that’s also why I wanted to reach out. I had mentioned that our youngest son C is a Sophomore this year - heading toward a Junior year and ACT prep next Fall. When would we need to start talking to you about putting him on your list for next Fall and what would you suggest for how you would work with him? You will enjoy C — he is BY FAR our most social kid.

I got a 35 in English, and 33 in the other 3 subjects. 34 Composite. Again, thank you so much for taking me as a student and helping me to achieve my goal!

For me, it was a lot better to go through each question and explain the right answer instead of just saying "A is wrong, B is right". It helped me more to learn about how to answer questions effectively. Because I can answer questions more quickly, I have more time to go over what I might have missed.

Wanted to share with you C 's ACT results from February, post prep with the both of you. 

Needless to say, we are thrilled and so proud of her. Thank you so much for offering such a fantastic program!! I have passed on your information to the counseling department at Joliet Catholic. There are a fair number of students who live in the Naperville/Plainfield area that attend JCA.

My experience here has been completely positive! I struggled particularly with Math, and the individualized sessions allowed me to work on Math as much as I needed to. This really helped me improve my scores. The Barron’s workbooks were also extremely helpful, as they provided a diverse set of practice questions and good reminders about each section of the ACT test. All the Act Practice tests I was able to take helped me to solidify what I learned during tutoring and from the Barron’s books by putting it to use soon after learning. All in all, I was able to accomplish tons by working with Ms. Joan and Mr. Paul — and they’re super kind and welcoming, which makes every session great!

E.D. | Student | Naperville North High School

We cannot thank you enough for everything you have done to help prepare E for Saturday! We cannot be more happy with the results. She absolutely loved her sessions and had nothing but wonderful things to say about the both of you. The kindness and hospitality you showed us, was above and beyond! I know your success depends on results, however, I feel the personal connection you have with your students is unparalleled! Without that connection, lesson are lost. E immediately felt welcome and at ease with you. To say we were beyond impressed would be an understatement.

Since my test scores went from a 27 to 30 “through the roof” , it is obvious this system is effective. I can’t say I have any complaints other than a heavy workload. However, I also think the workload is absolutely necessary and I appreciated you guys being flexible with my busy schedule. I’m sure you will see my brother here soon. Thank you so much.
