How Proven Strategy and Pattern Recognition Turned Ava’s 29 into a 36

The Problem

Generic, Unstructured Test Prep Left Ava Guessing

Ava had always been a high-performing student. She wasn’t lacking in motivation or content knowledge; yet, the ACT felt unpredictable and inefficient like a game of whack-a-mole. She knew her score could improve but not by guessing what might work. She needed a smarter system, one that mirrored how she thought.

“We tried self-study with books, took a group class, worked with tutors, but she always felt nothing was helping. She wanted to understand the logic behind what she was doing, and no one had given her that.”

The Solution

A Precision Framework Built for an Analytical Mind

From day one, Ava's tutoring sessions were structured around data, not generalities. Every error of every practice exam was tagged, and every lesson was designed to reinforce patterns and decision-making. We created a framework that mirrored how Ava thought: logical, strategic, and results-focused. With structured weekly sessions, real-time adjustments, and clarity at every step, Ava had the tools to navigate the exam with control and confidence.

“Ava has always been analytical and that's why Educo worked for her. They treat the ACT like a math problem, showing her the patterns behind the test and how to break them down. It gave her a way to think about the exam logically, not just memorize content.”

The Result

7 Points in 6 Months: A System Built on Data and Logic

Steadily, Ava raised her ACT score by 7 points, ultimately earning a perfect 36. With each session, Ava deepened her understanding of how the test worked, learning to spot patterns, optimize her timing, and apply logic under pressure. That level of control  led to not just a top score, but admission to Princeton University. At Princeton, Ava plans to study computer science, pursuing research in artificial intelligence to build ethical, impactful technologies.

“Her 36 wasn’t a surprise. It was the natural result of the work, energy, and thought she put into studying. Educo helped her approach the exam like a process to master, not a mystery to fear."
