Yes! ACT offers the Test Information Release (TIR) for $32 three times a year, ever year: September, April, and June. The TIR includes a copy of the student's test questions, a list of the answers, and an answer key. If your child is stumped by their ACT score, ordering the TIR can help them make sense of what happened. With full access to the questions, it's more likely that your child will remember why they made certain mistakes.

At Ole Miss, one point can mean the difference between receiving $20,000 and $40,000. In many cases at most schools, an additional two to three points can increase a student's scholarship package from approximately $5,000 to $20,000. 

Currently, these scores, along with a 3.5 GPA or higher, get you these amounts (over 4 years) at Ole Miss*: 

• 23 = $12,000
• 24 = 14,000
• 25 = $14,000
• 26 = $15,600
• 27 = $17,000
• 28 = $20,000
• 29 = $40,000*
• 30 = $44,000
• 31 = $48,000
• 32 = $56,000
• 33+= $61,736

For MSU*, 

• 23 = $6,000
• 24 = $12,000
• 25 = $14,000
• 26 = $14,000
• 27 = $20,000
• 28 = 20,000
• 29 = 30,000*
• 30 = 38,000
• 33+= 44,000

*$10,000 of that amount comes from the State of Mississippi Institutes of Higher Learning (IHL). The scholarship is called Mississippi Eminent Scholars Grant (MESG), and it requires at least a 3.5 GPA at the time of graduation from high school.

That depends on the student's starting score and his or her goal score. Typically, most students choose to do 5-7 sessions to prepare for 1 test. After we get the results from the first test, we can discuss the best plan to continue moving towards the goal score. 

Bring a pencil and the most recent copy of the Official ACT Prep Guide, which can be found on Amazon or at Barnes and Noble Bookstores.
