What one sitting is like

Each sitting follows the order of the online ACT: English, Mathematics, a short break, then Reading, with Science and the Writing essay at the end if you choose them before you start. Every test runs on its official timer.

The tools are the online ACT's: Answer Eliminator, Answer Masking, Highlighter, Line Reader and Magnifier, with the Desmos graphing calculator in Mathematics. Your report gives estimated 1–36 scores, the Composite, and STEM and ELA scores where they apply; an essay receives an automated estimate on the 2–12 Writing scale.

Your report
Your report opens the moment you hand the test in: your score, a section-by-section breakdown, and anything still being scored, named and added as it arrives.
AI Tutor
Your ACT test is over and your report is open: pick a mistake on your results page and the AI Tutor starts from there. It asks you the question and writes the steps out on the board, so you find where you went wrong rather than being handed the answer. The first 2 mistakes are free, for up to 10 minutes.

How it compares with the real ACT

Adaptation

Not adaptive, like the real test: every student who sits a given test answers the same questions.

Interface and tools

  • Section timer you can hide
  • Question index with flags
  • Answer Eliminator, Answer Masking, Highlighter, Line Reader and Magnifier
  • Built-in Desmos graphing calculator in Mathematics
  • Contrast options
  • You choose Science and Writing before you start

Scoring and differences

Your report gives estimated scores on the 1–36 scale for each test you sat, an estimated Composite of English, Mathematics and Reading, and STEM and ELA scores where they apply. An essay receives an automated estimate on the 2–12 Writing scale. It is not an ACT score.

  • The online ACT is ACT's own software; ours reproduces its tools, structure and timing, not its exact screens.

ACT sample interface: the timer, position and navigator state are illustrative; no question is shown. Nothing here starts a test.

Know the screen before test day.

Every ACT practice test runs in a screen built for the exam: its clock, its way through the questions and its own tools.

  • ACT tools, on screen

    Section timer you can hide; Question index with flags; Answer Eliminator, Answer Masking, Highlighter, Line Reader and Magnifier.

  • How the sitting adapts

    Not adaptive, like the real test: every student who sits a given test answers the same questions.

Take the free ACT test

A full-length test needs a free account. Nothing is timed until you start.

Look past the total.

The score summary above is where the ACT report starts. Under it is what decides your next session.

  • In the ACT report

    Scored questions in each reporting category with your percentage correct, then every question with its explanation.

  • Estimates, labelled as estimates

    Practice scores come from our conversion: not official scores, and not a prediction of your result on test day.

    Results by reporting category: start with the lowest row.

  2. Name the weak area

    Preparing for Higher Math, in this sample.

  3. Practise it in the ACT bank

    A short set on that area alone, then a fresh full-length test.

Questions

How many times can I take each ACT practice test?

Each test can be sat up to 2 times. If you close the tab in the middle of a sitting, your answers are saved and the same sitting resumes when you return.

Do I have to take Science and Writing?

No. As on the real test, Science and the Writing essay are optional, and you choose them before the sitting starts. The Composite is the average of English, Mathematics and Reading either way.

Is the score official?

No. Your report gives estimated scores on the 1–36 scale for each test you sat, an estimated Composite of English, Mathematics and Reading, and STEM and ELA scores where they apply. An essay receives an automated estimate on the 2–12 Writing scale. It is not an ACT score.

Is there a free ACT test?

Yes. There is one free full-length test in the same format as the paid tests. You only need a free account to take it.

How long does access last?

Published practice tests you buy stay available on your account for 12 months from the date of purchase. Tests sold before publication open automatically once enough new tests are published to fill the remainder of your pack; their 12 months of access start on the day they open. Nothing renews and nothing is charged again.

Can I get a refund?

Practice tests, question banks and AI Tutor time are digital content. You can ask for a refund of a digital product you have not used within 14 days of the payment date. A product counts as used once any practice test in the pack has been started, any question in a paid section of the question bank has been opened, or any second of AI Tutor time has been used; a used product is not refunded. If you are charged twice by mistake, contact us and the duplicate charge is refunded.

How are these different from the free official ACT practice test on ACT.org?

Take the free official practice test on ACT.org first: it comes from ACT, the organisation that writes the exam. Once you have used it, our 20 full-length tests give you more sittings in the online ACT's order, tools and timing, each with estimated 1–36 scores, an estimated Composite, ACT's reporting categories and a review of every question with its explanation. They are our own questions, not ACT material, and the scores are our estimates.
