Most students waste months memorizing topics that barely show up in the ACT — leaving real score-boosting areas untouched. With Importance vs. Difficulty, you prioritize high-impact topics first, turning every study hour into visible improvement.

"More hours ≠ more points. Better strategy = better results."
