FAQ

  • How Early Can We Start?

    The FOUNDATIONS course is designed to be the introduction to college testing. Because it is an introduction, you can start this program as early as the 6th grade to prepare for the Duke TIP program.

  • Do We Have To Purchase the Full ACT or SAT Course?

    The Foundations course is a stand-alone course. You are able to purchase this course to practice for both the ACT and SAT tests.

  • Can I Increase My Test Score With Only This Course?

    Learning and understanding the strategies and techniques taught in the Foundations course can indeed help you increase your test scores on one or both tests. It is recommended for students who require high test scores for their college of choice to focus on one test and purchase the full course to insure proper training.
