Can This Man Help You Earn An Extra One Million Dollars?

If You’re in High School, He Just
Might Be Able to Help You Do It

BATON ROUGE — A recent study by Georgetown University shows that people with a bachelor’s degree earn 84 percent more, on the average, than people with a high school diploma.  Over the course of a lifetime, that could amount to a million dollars or more.
That extra million dollars is exactly what Craig Gehring is focusing on — how to help you make it.
Gehling is something of a phenom.  He scored a perfect 36 on the ACT and a perfect 800 on the SAT.  That’s almost unheard of.  A handful of people in the country make a perfect score on one or the other, but very few have done both.
Now Gehling is helping students improve their ACT scores.  On the average, he can help a student improve by three to four points.  With  Louisiana’s TOPS program keyed to ACT testing, an extra three or four points can make the difference between some people earning a full college scholarship or even a full scholarship plus a generous stipend.
Gehring’s company, Ring Marketing, has developed a course that can be taken on-line or in-person over six Saturdays.  It costs $150.  There are no guarantees but, so far, students are pretty consistently improving their scores by three to four points based on an ACT practice test they take at the beginning and the score they ultimately make on the ACT.
Even if you don’t take his course, Gehring offered some tips:
•    The ACT is the first multi-subject, timed test most students take, and they are not prepared.  So taking practice exams is vital.
•    Answer every question, because you don’t lose points for wrong answers.
•    Get one-on-one instruction such as he offers.  Classroom settings don’t work as well, he said.
•    Test-taking techniques are important but ultimately you can’t fool the ACT.  You need to have mastered the content.  That means studying the subjects that the ACT tests.
•    Learn to read.  Too many kids don’t ever learn the basics and can’t read.  Read things you like, and read a lot.
•    Learn to focus.  Students today are distracted by devices and other students.  Get away by yourself with no distractions.  Study and read.
•    Be familiar with the kind of questions asked on the ACT.
Gehring’s next six-week course begins May 28 at the Louisiana Technology Park.
