I want to practice taking full-length ACT tests as part of my preparation. Does anyone have any recommendations for where I can find actual or realistic ACT practice tests online? Can be either free or paid!
I'd recommend starting with the official practice tests provided by the ACT organization, as they'll give you the most accurate representation of the real test. You can download a free full-length ACT practice test in PDF format from the ACT website. You'll find another official full-length practice test if you create a free MyACT account. There, you can take the test online, which mimics the digital ACT format.
Another great resource is Khan Academy, which has partnered with CollegeBoard (the organization responsible for the SAT, not the ACT), but their practice material can still be helpful. As part of their test prep resources, they offer full-length practice tests, as well as video lessons and practice questions on various topics.
Finally, you might consider purchasing an ACT prep book from a reputable publisher, such as The Princeton Review, Kaplan, or Barron's. These books typically include several full-length practice tests, along with explanations of the correct answers and strategies for approaching each question type.
Remember, it's important to review your practice tests after taking them, to understand the areas you need to improve and to analyze any mistakes. The more you practice, the more familiar you'll become with the test format, which will help you perform better on the day of the exam. Good luck with your prep!
