As parents, we sometimes need a little help - okay, maybe a lot of help. And that’s not a bad thing. It actually makes us great parents.

When we understand our shortcomings as parents and seek outside help to ensure our kids still get the very best, that makes us great parents - that makes us awesome parents!

Now, ACT test prep is an area I definitely need extra help in. It’s been a few (okay, maybe more than a few) years since I’ve taken any sort of college entry test. But I want to help my kids be as prepared as possible. That’s where these resources come in. Here are some of my favorite resources that will help make you, and your child, better prepare for the ACT.
