When it comes to acing the ACT, the old adage, “If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again” rings true.
The best way to earn the score you want on the ACT is to Practice as much as possible, taking practice test after practice test until you ultimately reach your goal.
When you take ACT Practice Tests- and mimic the time limits that you will have to adhere to on the actual test- you will get a good idea of the types of questions you will see on the test, the test-taking strategies that will prove most helpful for you, and mistakes you need to avoid on test day.
If you want to improve your score on the ACT, I highly recommend that you take the 10 free ACT practice tests below:
ACT.org tests
These free practice tests come straight from ACT.org, meaning the creators of this test also help create the ACT, so the questions will give you a strong idea of what to expect when you take the ACT.
Although ACT.org doesn’t provide free practice tests often, the ACT has not changed much over the best 10 years, so older practice tests will still be helpful.
