"Use ChatGPT to study for the ACT" is not a study plan.

Most students who open an AI app and ask for "help with the ACT" get generic questions that don't match the real test, no memory of what they've missed, and no path forward. This Kit fixes all three — with a specific setup, a weekly system, and copy-paste prompts that actually work.

What's in the Kit

18 sections. About 2 hours to read. A system you'll use every week until test day.

01
The 2026 ACT decoded
The Enhanced ACT is different. New section counts. New scoring. Most study materials online haven't caught up. You will.
02
The 3-tool AI stack
Claude for tutoring. ChatGPT for drilling. NotebookLM for study-material blending. Three tools, three jobs.
03
The 30-minute setup
Step-by-step instructions to build your ACT Tutor Project, ACT Coach GPT, and ACT Prep Hub. One time. Use forever.
04
The Mistake Engine
The signature workflow. Every missed question gets captured, diagnosed, and turned into a personalized drill.
05
Section playbooks
English. Math. Reading. Science. Writing. Each with highest-ROI moves, top score-killers, and section-specific AI prompts.
06
30 · 60 · 90 day plans
Whether test day is four weeks or three months out, there's a plan for you. Week-by-week. Realistic for a busy student.
07
Pacing & timing drills
The test isn't about intelligence. It's about thinking under a clock. Fix timing, fix score.
08
25 copy-paste prompts
Setup, diagnosis, drill, review, and voice-mode prompts. Each one written for the real ACT — not generic "AI for study."
09
Test week & test morning
Exactly what to do in the final 7 days. What to pack. What to eat. When to stop studying.

Three tools. Three jobs.

Stop using AI tools interchangeably. Each one has a superpower.

Claude
the tutor
Long, careful reasoning. Error analysis. A persistent ACT Tutor Project that remembers you. The best feedback on writing.
ChatGPT
the drill partner
Voice tutoring in the car. Custom GPTs. Canvas for essay editing. Fast timed drills.
NotebookLM
the blender
One uploaded practice test becomes a study guide, audio podcast, mind map, quiz, and flashcards. Grounded in your sources.

Built for three people

Detailed instructions written for each audience — not one generic guide with a "parents corner" at the end.

Students

The 25-minute daily session. Voice drills on the way to school. What to do the night before homework. The rules that matter: try first, AI second.

Teachers & tutors

How to run this Kit in a prep class. Differentiating by baseline score. Individualized feedback at scale using NotebookLM. The academic integrity conversation to have with students.

Parents

The five things that actually help — and the five that backfire. What to spend money on. The weekly AI prompt that tells you if your kid is on track (without nagging).

Why this works

The Kit is built on the two most evidence-backed findings in learning science.

Meta-analyses by Dunlosky and Roediger — the landmark reviews taught in education schools — rank practice testing and distributed practice as the only two study techniques with high utility across every subject and student type. Rereading notes, highlighting, watching videos: low utility. The Mistake Engine in this Kit operationalizes the findings. AI makes the analysis effortless. You still have to miss the problems.

Who this is from

Soft Tech is an AI education brand for creative women, built by Jennie Slade. We teach AI as a life tool — for business, home, and everything in between. The ACT Prep Kit is the first Soft Tech Kit built for the students in our lives.

This Kit was researched in collaboration with a top ACT tutor perspective and an AI-tools expert perspective, fact-checked against the current ACT test structure and current AI product capabilities (April 2026).

Questions

Does my student need to pay for Claude, ChatGPT, or NotebookLM?

No. Every core workflow in the Kit runs on the free tier of all three tools. If you already pay for Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus, the Kit notes where that helps — but free is genuinely enough to raise the score.

My student's test is in 4 weeks. Is it too late?

No. The Kit has a 30-day "Crunch Mode" plan specifically for four-week timelines. The error log and Mistake Engine produce measurable gains even over 4 weeks.

Does this work for the Enhanced ACT with the optional Science section?

Yes. The Kit is written for the 2026 Enhanced ACT specifically — correct section counts, correct scoring (composite is the 3-section average now), and guidance on whether to take Science and Writing based on your student's college list.

Is this a PDF?

No. It's a password-protected web guide you access from any device — phone, laptop, tablet. You'll get the access link after checkout. Bookmark it.

Can a teacher use this with a class?

Yes. The Kit has a full "For teachers & tutors" section with how to run it in a class, how to differentiate by baseline score, how to give individualized feedback at scale, and class prompts you can use.

What if the AI tools change after I buy this?

The workflows are built on how to think about AI for studying, not on specific features that might rename next month. If a feature is renamed or limits shift, the workflow still applies. Every Kit owner gets updates at no additional cost.

Refund policy?

Digital product, non-refundable. If the Kit doesn't work for you, reply to your Stan receipt and tell us why — we read every note and it shapes the next version.

$9 is less than one ACT tutoring session.
This Kit will teach a student more than 12.
