    We’ve got you covered on the New Enhanced ACT!


    PrepScholar’s ACT Prep has been fully redesigned to reflect the new test. Unlike other providers who simply tweaked their programs, we rebuilt key lessons, practice questions, and our whole interface  so your prep matches exactly what you’ll see on test day.

    Updated skill and strategy lessons for the new Enhanced ACT

    New Content, Designed For a New Test

    • 50 refreshed skill lessons that match the skills tested on the new Enhanced ACT.
    • New strategy lessons tailored to the structure and tricks of the test.
    • Expanded coverage of skills not emphasized before in English, Math, and Reading. For example, Ratios and Proportions now play a bigger role than on the old ACT.
    • Optional Science: Opt out of ACT Science lessons if you’re not taking that section, so you can focus your time where it matters most.

    Practice That Mirrors the Test

    • 2,800+ brand-new practice questions
    • Math questions fully rewritten for the 4-choice format (previously 5). We didn’t just trim an answer choice—we redesigned each question, answer set, and explanation to ensure they test the right skills and mimic the traps and patterns you’ll face on the real ACT.
    • Prep interface updated to match the new section lengths and pacing.
    • September 6th, 2025 test date and onward:
      All Saturday ACT test dates in the U.S. and abroad will administer the Enhanced ACT, available on both paper and computer.
    • April 2026: The new Enhanced ACT will be introduced for school-day ACT testing (as opposed to Saturday test dates only)
    • The ACT will be shortened from 175 minutes to 125 minutes, with fewer questions and more time per question.
    • Students can now choose to take the ACT on a computer or on paper, both offered at test centers and following the same new structure.
    • Science is now an optional section, just like Writing.
    • Starting September 2025, the Composite Score will include only English, Reading, and Math (Science is no longer counted).
    • Students who take Science will also receive a STEM score, which averages Math and Science.
    • Students who take Writing (essay) will also receive an ELA score, which averages English, Reading, and Writing.
    • All Math questions will have four answer choices (A through D) instead of five.
    • Every section will now include some unscored experimental questions.

    Features for Success

    Extensive ACT Content

    Realistic and high-quality practice questions with detailed explanations guarantee that you’ll be fully prepared for the test. Our interactive lessons include explainer videos that break down the most difficult concepts and teach you the strategies you need to know.

    Learn with Interactive Lessons

    We broke down the ACT into 52 fine-grained skills so you can tackle each section of the test carefully.

    1. Explanation

    Review the topic and strategies with a mix of videos, diagrams, and interactive examples

    2. Targeted Practice Quiz

    Test your skill and knowledge with 10 to 20 realistic practice questions

    3. Review Your Mistakes

    Learn from your mistakes with our thorough, step-by-step explanations

    Helpful Explainer Videos

    Our ACT test prep lessons have videos to clarify concepts you need to ace the ACT. Our videos carefully explain the hardest concepts and teach you the test-taking strategies you need to know for every type of ACT question. Videos are just one part of our sophisticated program to prepare you the best way possible.

    Practice Taking the Official Test

    Our program combines the authenticity of the official ACT with smart online tools that guide you through every step, from timing to scoring to in-depth review.

    Your path to real ACT practice:

    • We mail you the Official ACT Review Guide so you can take the tests on paper like you would during the real test. Each time you complete approximately 10 study hours, you will be assigned by your program one of the 4 full-length official Enhanced ACT practice tests.
    • Our online program includes Practice Test modules that act as your test proctor and time you across the sections.
    • Once you finish the test, you can input your answers into our program and let us do the scoring instantly. Our program will show you which questions you got right, wrong, or skipped, including any that were experimental (not counted toward your score).
    • Optional Essay: If you plan to take the Writing section, you can upload your essay to your online program for scoring by our expert graders using the official ACT rubric.

    We recommend that students avoid taking the 4 official ACT practice tests in the book publisher’s online portal. While they may seem helpful, they don’t reflect the real test experience. There’s no built-in time limit, correct answers are shown immediately after each question, and you can’t move freely through the section like you can on test day. The result is a practice flow that feels very different from the actual exam.
