ACT Online Prep

I love that there is an app for the prep so I don’t have to continually log onto the website. However, I am starting to think that logging on to the website is a lesser price to pay than constantly refreshing and closing out the app. The app frequently freezes and the page gets wonky. I don’t lose my place though, which is nice.

ACT deserves to be thanked for this thorough prep resource. I am so pleased with the almost 2,500 practice questions, 2 full-length practice tests, and lessons. The program also includes games, flashcards, and more, but time did not suffice for me to even be able to use it all. The best part is that this is all official material! It is absolutely worth every penny. I went through all except 143 of the practice questions and all of the tests before my second ACT, and my score rose from 31 to 36 composite on that second test. On the tech side, this app could use a few tweaks. I would have really appreciated being able to enlarge the font or blow out the screen at least. It was rather hard on my eyes. Also, I would’ve liked being able to hide the level of difficulty of each practice question while solving it. Knowing that a question was “expert” vs. “easy” only sharpened my nerves, not my brain. Because of its terrific content, this app still deserves 5 stars, however. I recommend it strongly!!

Are you scouring all over for the right ACT prep course for you? You've come to the right place. The great thing about this program is that not only is it by the makers of the actual ACT, you also get to study at your own pace. Instead of buying countless prep books and doing these unauthorized and not true-to-level practice tests (for example PR is tailored to lower end scorers to get an average scores while Barron is tailored to more advanced students) this one is as real as you'll get. And not to mention the cost-it's only $40 for the program. That's the equivalent of 2 prep books (boohoo) or you could get 1/30 of a tutoring course. Talk about value. My personal experience: I got this app about 2 months prior to my test date, and practiced a little every day. In the end I only completed 22% of the total course, but I was still well prepared for my test. I ended up with a 36 composite first try. All in all, definitely get this program if you want to do well in the ACT. All the people complaining are technologically inept and don't realize that you have to have an ACT account linked with the program in order to use the app. I personally prefer the desktop version but this app is great for on the go sessions.
