Remember that part in The Matrix where a 30-second program update teaches Keanu Reeve’s character Neo something crazy complex, like Kung Fu? Well, I've basically created THAT, but for grammar! In just a few pages, you’ll learn ALL the Grammar you need for the ACT's English section!
➡️ You think you’re just ‘bad at English’ compared to your friends.
➡️ You seem to have holes in your grammar knowledge. You write essays, and your teacher corrects them, sure, but no one’s ever actually taught you, you know, RULES.
➡️ You literally don’t know the difference between a colon, semi-colon, comma and dash.
➡️ You tend to over-analyze each question on the test, debating with yourself and wasting precious time.
➡️ That, or you think you know the answers—it sounds right in your head—but then, why is your English score so LOW?
➡️ You just keep taking more and more practice tests, but you don’t have a strategy to improve your English Section score
➡️ That said, the ACT is still a better test for you than the Digital SAT is, so there’s a looming pressure to perform well…and very little hope that you will.
And, thus, your ACT Composite score?
Luckily, there’s a way you can turn things around once and for all .

I founded Ivy Lounge Test Prep® after serving as head tutor for two different elite Manhattan tutoring agencies...and realizing that I was the one telling THEM the latest testing news, patterns I'd noticed, and strategies I'd developed to keep my students one step ahead of the tests.
I grew up in Dallas, TX, breaking city and state records for math and general academic achievement. I graduated as valedictorian of Dallas's Talented and Gifted Magnet High School and then Magna cum Laude from Brown University (MIT was my backup school).
I've spoken all over New York about test prep and the college process, write the Ivy Lounge Test Prep® blog, and reach students on six continents with the magic of the internet.
SIMPLE: I know a lot about what it takes to achieve a killer ACT English section score, and it starts with leveraging the right content and strategies.
I don't mean to brag, but...
⚡ Be like Hannah and Indigo, who both used the ACT Grammar Cram Plan to score PERFECT 36’s on the ACT’s English Section!
⚡️Be like Malia and Harper, who both raised their ACT English scores by 8 POINTS apiece!
⚡️Or Giselle, who raised her ACT English score by 9 POINTS…
⚡️Or Lila, who raised her ACT English score by a whopping 12 POINTS using the ACT Grammar Cram Plan!
Ivy Lounge Test Prep® and/or its founder Kristina Semos do not guarantee scores or score improvements, as the ultimate scores are dependent on a student's work and specific performance on the day of the test. That said, these strategies, concepts and materials have helped many students improve their scores!
Nope! This book does NOT have practice questions in it, as there are many other resources for that, including the ACT website itself!
The purpose of this book is to help you UNDERSTAND, in record time, the concepts that these other resources are either not very good at explaining, don’t explain at ALL—or explain in far too long-winded a way.
I stand behind my products, and your satisfaction with them is important to me. However, since this is an immediate digital download, no, there will be no refunds.
But do you REALLY want to refund in the first place? CEOs have bought this Cram Plan to teach grammar to their company’s marketing teams (literally, this happened)! Honestly, learning the correct way to write and speak will only help you for the rest of your life, standardized tests or not ;)
Thank you for asking! This ebook is for the current version of the ACT.
That means the online ACT BEFORE April 2025 and the paper-and-pencil ACT BEFORE September 2025.
Once more information about the new test format is available, I will update my ACT materials to match!
