We offer packages that cover all subject areas of the ACT / SAT. Some students may only need to come for one subject area: Math & Science OR English & Reading, but not both. Our programs run either 4 or 8 weeks long.

We have found that a minimum of 8 weeks is needed to improve your score.

The 8 week program can be split between two 4-week sessions, a student can do 4 weeks of prep before the exam, and then another 4 weeks before they take a second exam. We will offer one-off sessions as needed. A key part of our program is that homework is required for the students to complete and is a key focus of our sessions.

Students also need to come in with a baseline, the PSAT or PACT they take at school counts. We recommend that your student pays for the “ACT My Answer Key” when they sit for the exam. This answer key is eligible for upcoming Saturday tests: October 2025, April 2026, and June 2026, which will show exactly what questions your student got wrong on the exam and will give us an in-depth look at what to focus on for their prep. If your student needs to take a test, we will proctor a practice test for you. Students can come in on a Friday or Saturday and we will proctor a practice test here at the center.

Scheduling

• To schedule a package, please contact us at least 10 weeks prior to the test date as spots with our coaches fill up quickly.

• Your student will be scheduled with a qualified coach for all subject areas.

• Sessions will be conducted with the same coach for the entire program per subject area.

• You will know the date and time of each session for your entire program before the first session starts.

Timing

• We will schedule the sessions right up to the test date with our goal of sessions ending either the week before or the week of the test.

• Some students break up their 8-week sessions into two 4-week chunks as they wait for results from their last test. We can be flexible. This gives everyone a window into where to focus.

Absences

• We are on a tight schedule, and we cannot guarantee that your student will have the time to complete the program if you have to move your scheduled sessions. We will do our best to accommodate your need to reschedule, however, no refunds will be issued if you are having trouble keeping to a schedule.

• If your student is sick or you will miss a session please call or text Maddy Quinlan at (773) 979-3752 or email maddy@specialsolutions.com.

Payment

• All ACT / SAT Packages must be paid in full before we will schedule your student.
