Introduction to the ACT
The ACT is a vital exam that plays a significant role in the college admissions process. This test assesses a student’s readiness for college by evaluating their skills in English, math, reading, science, and an optional writing section. Success on the ACT can open doors to scholarships and acceptance into top universities. Please visit ACT.org for the latest pertinent information, including registration and test dates.
Why ACT Preparation is Important
Effective preparation for the ACT not only improves your test scores but also builds the foundational skills necessary for academic success in college. A strong ACT score can significantly enhance your college application, making you a more competitive candidate. Furthermore, ACT preparation equips students with critical thinking and time-management skills that are essential for success both in college and beyond.

Success Stories
Here are just a few success stories of how Chris’s custom tailored approach has helped students achieve their goals:
- “Our daughter took the ACT test and scored a 29, but she needed a 33 to receive the top scholarship award from her chosen school. I contacted Christopher and commissioned him to prepare her for the retest. Ultimately, she needed an additional 16 points among the four subjects to get to the 33 score. Christopher was very strategic with how to prep Olivia. I sat in on the first 20 minutes of their first of 5 sessions and was immediately confident that we’d made the right choice in Christopher Hammer! Olivia ended up scoring a total of 17 additional points!! Through Christopher’s tutelage she was able to raise one subject 9 points. She scored higher in all four subjects. Can you say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED??!! I highly recommend Christopher as a test prep coach. He is friendly, firm and a great motivator. Our daughter said that he is very knowledgeable about the ACT itself and is able to share in such a way that delivers ‘hacks’ to the test taker. Christopher built up Olivia’s confidence so that she could take control of the test on her terms.” – Mr. Mark Vande Kerkhoff – Parent / Managed Markets Healthcare Sales Executive
- “Great Tutor! Got my ACT score from a 28 to a 32! Best in the Biz!” – Mr. John Patrick Gannon – Founder & CEO of Proper ReLeaf Craft Cannabis
