Frequently Asked Questions

Can Indian-American students in the US take ACT coaching online?

Yes. All ACT coaching at UniQuest Prep is fully online via Zoom, available to NRI and Indian-American students across the US — including California, New York, New Jersey, Texas, Illinois, and beyond. Sessions are scheduled around US time zones (ET, CT, PT).

Should Indian-American students take the SAT or ACT?

Both are accepted by all US universities. The ACT suits students who are strong at science reasoning and fast-paced questions. The SAT may be better for students who prefer less time pressure. We recommend a free diagnostic consultation with Nisha to decide which exam gives you the best path to your target score.

What ACT score do I need for top US universities?

For Ivy League and highly selective schools, aim for 34–36. For strong universities like UCLA, Michigan, and UT Austin, 30–33 is competitive. Nisha's students have achieved composite scores as high as 35 through personalised coaching.

How many sessions does ACT prep typically take?

Most students benefit from 8–16 weeks of coaching. The exact number depends on your starting score, target score, and weekly study time. We begin with a full diagnostic to identify your biggest improvement opportunities.

Does UniQuest Prep offer sessions in US time zones?

Yes. Nisha schedules sessions around Eastern, Central, and Pacific time to accommodate Indian-American and NRI students across the US.
