The Savvy System for the ACT
In this step-by-step course, you will banish confusion and boost confidence as you learn how to maximize your score and maintain your sanity.
Boost Your ACT Score!
If you’re the parent of a frustrated teenager (or the frustrated parent of a teenager) trying to raise their ACT score while maintaining their self-confidence and their sanity, then you already know they desperately need a tool that’s flexible, relatable, and reliable.
You and your student both know it’s important to get the best score possible, but neither of you knows what’s even on the test, let alone how to learn it or study it. The “study guides” in the bookstore are 2000 pages long, and are more effective as doorstops than study guides.
Who has time for a study guide that’s 4 inches thick?
Today’s students are busy trying to manage online/hybrid/ constantly-changing classes ...while also trying to manage sports, activities, leadership roles, and life in general. And - let’s be honest - they really do learn best in short video snippets.
If ACT Prep were a TikTok video, they’d be all over it!
By the end of this program,
Your student will know…
- Exactly how many questions they need in each section to hit their target score.
- Where the easy questions are and how to make the most of them.
- How to avoid the predictable traps throughout the test.
- The essential content they need for the Math and English tests.
- How to manage their time and pace themselves throughout the test.
- That their goals are within reach!
Wonderful. Kind. Encouraging. Kristie worked with my son on his test prep and helped his self-confidence at the same time. His score went up ...to a higher score than we even thought was possible!
Miss Kristie was a smart choice for our son... She worked with our son in the areas where he demonstrated the most need and was able to quickly target the areas that he could improve, saving us time and money. He increased his ACT score overall, but specifically he increased his lowest subtest score by 10 points! This has opened more doors for financial scholarships and exciting future opportunities. We are so glad we chose Kristie to assist us!
I would HIGHLY recommend the services of Savvy Strategies to anyone! Ms. Kristie not only helped me improve my score (bringing my English ACT to a perfect score), but she helped me organize my time, and so much more. I can not imagine this tedious process without Ms. Kristie!
Amazing. Just wonderful. She inspired so much confidence in my son! We were in blissful shock at how much his sessions with her improved his score.

Our son needed help preparing for the ACT. On previous tries, he had failed to reach his desired goal, especially with English and Reading. In just a few of Kristie’s lessons, he was able to attain the scores he needed to apply for his degree program. She made the ACT material more understandable, and provided great tips for studying, and test taking, in general. Thank you Kristie!

If any of these sounds like you, then it’s time to say
'YES' to The Savvy System.
✔️ You (and your teen) wish their scores were better, but don’t know how to get them. This is so common. These tests (ACT/SAT) are touted as the gateway to college and scholarships...but no one tells you (or your teen!) what’s on the tests, how they are scored, or the way to get higher scores. Your teen wouldn’t get a test in school without knowing what’s going to be on it. Somehow, though, they are supposed to score well on a test that’s a mystery to them.
That’s what we’re here for. We show you what’s on the test, how it’s scored, and help you map a route to the score you want. We’ve got this!
✔️ You bought the official study guide (or two) but you’re sure it has never been opened. Gotta be honest with you here. I would be intimidated by that book too. Are they supposed to do all 1000 pages? (In what spare time?) Are they supposed to start at the beginning and do every page?
If you’ve got one of these doorstops, guess what? Your teen can use the sample tests in that book to practice the strategies they learn in this course! We’ll make use of it after all. ;)
✔️ Your teen is frustrated and thinks they must be stupid. Stop right there. This test does not measure intelligence. It doesn’t measure talent. It doesn’t measure wit or compassion or potential. It measures…. how well they take the ACT.
Let’s get them some help because they are worth so much more than this. It’s hard when other people seem to just “get it”. I know. But this is just a test. Let’s get it figured out and get on with more important things in life!
I want to help your student succeed!
I created this course to help.
Recently, I had more students wanting help ...than time on my calendar to help them. Parents were calling because they’d heard how much I’d helped their friends’ kids, their neighbors’ kids, their nieces or nephews ...and they wanted to give their student that boost, too. Students were calling because their friends were talking about how much they’d raised their scores, they wanted to see that success too.
But - I had to turn people down because my calendar was full. Over-full. I squeezed in as many students as I could, and as many hours as I could, and I still couldn’t do enough. That hurt my heart!
Every student should know the content and the strategies they need to get their best score!
I had to find a way to make help available to more students, without cloning myself (although that would still be helpful!).
This course is for busy students who want to do well but don’t have time to schedule regular sessions with a tutor.
This course is for mindful parents who want to help their student do their best on this test, but don’t know what to do.
This course is for you.
The opportunity is risk-free. Try the first module, and if it isn’t helpful, let me know and I’ll refund your money.
Getting better scores isn’t magic. It feels like a mystery, but it’s really not. Content. Pacing. Strategies. I got you. Let’s do this!
