ACT Online Prep is the official website for the ACT exam. It is a non-profit organization with nearly 60 years of research. Since it is the official distributor of the ACT placement test, prep courses for the SAT are not provided. There are four different packages available with resources ranging from on-demand videos, Official ACT Prep Guide, and practice questions supplemented from previous ACT tests. Offered as a free resource, students can practice with the ACT Academy program. Other courses range from $25–$99.

I used ACT prep materials in 2 college classes of mine (the professors used them as homework) and they were incredibly through and helpful. I loved that the level of difficulty and the type of problems offered would change based on if you got something right or wrong and that you could really master a subject through that. However, I do wish it was more possible to skip to another unit if you needed a break from what you were working on. It would make me continue to practice the same unit when sometimes I would've just preferred to work ahead in another area for a while and go back.

Although ACT Online Prep is very pricey, the website also provides a lot of free resources. Through the ACT a website, I found multiple free practice tests which helped improve my AP score. I am confident that purchasing the complete ACT Online Prep will only increase a students score.

I used ACT online prep to study for the ACT in high school. It helped keep me accountable and study consistently all the way up to the exam. It was also useful that the study sessions were with a live instructor who could clarify any questions I had. I scored well on the ACT because of it!

I used ACT Online Prep before taking the ACT this December and found that it helped me a lot. It helped me prepare a lot for the math section where the questions really set you up for the test. The company is very organized and easy to understand.

ACT Online Prep is a great resource for improving test scores. They practice the right topics, keep a well rounded set of tools and subjects so that all learning is improved. They have effective test batteries too. Good for the price. I was very impressed with my improvement using the website and applying what I had learned.

I used the ACT Online Prep while I was in high school. The test questions were similar to what was on the actual test, but the program itself was pricey. The Prep was easy to do and set up and helped me prepare for the actual test.

My children 5 years apart use the example test practice for reviewing for their ACT exam. I wish that my children/students were able to take part of the exams instead of the entire test in one setting. I feel they could have focused more and mastered the score if they were able to break down parts of the exam.

From my experience the ACT prep can often help a student raise their scores. This is particularly true if the student puts in the time and does the things ACT suggests in order to be more proficient at taking the exam. I've seen students raise their scores several points following the ACT suggestions.

The ACT courses give a lot of insight to the ACT test. It helps me study and practice to be ready for my next test. It even helps me with class work at school.

This is a lifesaver. The wide tools and resources have me so much help. Many things that I had no idea how to do were quickly taught to me. It is very helpful and highly recommend for ACT practice.

I used ACT online prep to help prepare for my ACT as I wasn't too sure what to expect. It was okay, but at the end of the day the tests differ quite a bit. I learned a lot of useful strategies though.

Got this for our daughter and seemed were happy with the practice tests and ease of use. Must add that the tests didn't exactly mirror the real deal, but were still beneficial.

I thought that this was good ACT prep. They had full length tests and I'd have to say that helped me when I took the real test.

It really didn't help me, and it was pretty expensive. I might just be stupid though, I only got a 18 on the test
