The ACT prep package has 6.5 hours of instructional video broken down into 29 mini-lessons. Lessons include an overview of the test, strategies for each of the sections, review of the major content topics and plenty of examples.
Using your results as your guide, Brightstorm lists the specific lessons that will help you master the concepts that you need the most help with. You can watch, review and practice these skills to improve your score.
Brightstorm provides a skill-by-skill breakdown of your strengths and the areas where you should focus in order to increase your score. Your personalized priority list is based off of this analysis.
Brightstorm provides 2 full length tests, so you get the most realistic practice possible. In addition to the diagnostic and full length tests, there are practice quizzes, worksheets and web links to reinforce the concepts.
