It’s easy to think that a student with a high GPA will score highly on the ACT and, therefore, not require as much test prep as a student with a low GPA. In all actuality, high GPA’s do not always correlate to high ACT scores and vice-versa.

• Passive vs. active learning
• Test anxiety
• Varying reading levels
• Over confidence causing a lack of preparation
