The difference curation makes
13
All the resources in ACT Academy are curated!
• Hundreds of hand-picked resources for each reporting category
• Constantly adding new resources from even more publishers
• Many different learning styles are accounted for
• Students can select which videos and styles are most interesting to them
14
An Efficient Slide on Efficacy
Resources are selected based on proven efficacy
Efficacy of the resources has been calculated across a variety of different questions, most of
which are non-ACT specific
This means the videos help students grasp the concept and DO NOT TEACH TO THE ACT TEST!
