Free ACT practice test

This free ACT practice test has 20 questions in the style of the current ACT: six English, six math, four reading and four science, each with four answer choices like the real test. Passages and data tables are written right into the questions, so you don’t need a booklet. They’re our own questions, not ACT’s. The ACT has no pass mark, so aim for our practice target of 14 right, and use ACT’s four free full-length tests when you want the real 2 hours 5 minutes.
