ACT Prep Online
(the only ACT prep program designed by ACT)
This is an online course that families may subscribe to for $19.95 per year. Before purchasing, families should check with their guidance counselor, as some high schools purchase the program and provide access for each student in their school at no cost.
In addition, many metro high schools offer free or more affordable test preparation courses either during or after school. Interested students should check with their guidance counselor to find out what options are available at their particular school.
Remember, academic curriculum and effort toward daily homework and testing is the best preparation for standardized testing. These prep course opportunities, though, allow students to become acquainted with standardized test format and content so there is a degree of familiarity and comfort on testing morning.
