Start with the free official tools from College Board: the ACCUPLACER Study App for practice tests, sample questions for every test, and free skill exercises. They show you exactly how the real test looks. If you want more practice, the apps, websites and videos below are the ones people actually use. We checked each one’s price and what’s free in October 2026.
College Board’s own practice site. You create a free account and take practice tests that look and work like the real thing, with the same highlighter and on-screen calculators. It runs in a web browser on a computer or other device, so there’s nothing to install. Start here.

One download for each test: Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, QAS, Advanced Algebra and Functions, and the ESL tests. They’re short, so use them to see the question style, then practice more in the Study App.

A free learning tool linked from the official ACCUPLACER site and hosted by Pearson. It’s for building skills rather than taking practice tests, so it’s most useful once you know which topics you’re weak in.

Only for students at public colleges in Texas, who take TSIA2 instead of ACCUPLACER. You must finish the Pre-Assessment Activity before you can register for TSIA2.

The most-rated ACCUPLACER app on the App Store: 4.9 stars from about 3,000 ratings. Practice by topic across Arithmetic, QAS, Reading and Writing, with a diagnostic test and an AI tutor. It’s from an independent developer, not College Board.

Not the official College Board Study App, despite the name. It advertises over 3,000 questions, an exam simulator with a predicted score, and flash cards. 4.8 stars from 217 ratings.
Checked October 2026
Over 550 practice questions for Reading, Writing and Math, with a study plan and progress stats. 4.4 stars from 271 ratings. Smaller question bank than the others, and the lifetime price is high.

The free tests are a good second source after the official Study App. The paid online course has over 1,750 questions and 270 videos, but the practice page doesn’t list its price, so check before you sign up.

Khan Academy doesn’t have an ACCUPLACER course, but its free arithmetic, pre-algebra and algebra lessons cover most of what’s on the Arithmetic and QAS tests. Each topic has short videos and practice questions. Good for relearning a skill you’ve forgotten.
