Customers Reviews

What educators say:

"We wanted to make test preparation more intentional and customized in our district. By integrating the use of MasteryPrep in every high school and implementing Boot Camps tailored to students’ needs, we saw significant growth in test scores. It’s about giving each student the tools they need to succeed, and MasteryPrep has been instrumental in achieving that goal."
Matt Byrnes
Director of Secondary Education, Rapides Parish School District, Rapides Parish, LA
"When the state mandated the ACT for all juniors in Alabama, it became imperative to find the
most effective test prep program. With such
a significant portion of our state report card
tied to ACT performance, it became clear that a one-size-fits-all approach wouldn’t suffice. We discovered that a program with actual workbooks, coupled with actionable data from assessments, revolutionized our approach. We could monitor student progress, adjust instructional practices, and tailor support where needed."
Dr. Adam Clemons
Principal Piedmont, High School, Piedmont, AL
"Challenges arose during the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted the ongoing implementation
of test prep due to our sudden shift to online learning. But since then, we have been able to reinvigorate our year-round implementation of test prep by providing strategic guides and addressing ongoing learning success across the school year."
Dr. Meri Kock
ACT Coordinator,
Metro Nashville Public Schools, Nashville, TN
