I got the green light from my brother Chase that I could use Jessica not only to achieve a high score on the ACT, but I also had his permission to outscore him. Thanks to Jessica, mission accomplished.

Jessica is simply the best. From a student's perspective, working with her feels like having a secret weapon. Taking those tests feels like you're going up against the whole world, and in a way you are. Working with Jessica gave me confidence to walk into the testing room knowing I could beat the world. She knows the tests inside and out and armed me with several simple but incredibly valuable techniques -- knowing those little tricks gave me an advantage, but more importantly made me feel like I had an advantage. On the day I sat for the test I believed I would succeed and that was critical.

The difference before and after Jessica’s help was like goggles above/below water: a surface-level view to deep, clear understanding of the test. Her help was a big part of what took me from a middling SAT to perfect​ scores on two sections - which (given my relatively poor grades) was likely a large component of what led Harvard to take my application seriously.
