ACT practice from past tests

I'm studying for the ACT and I heard that using old tests can be really helpful. But where do I find these past ACT tests to practice on?

Many students find that using past ACT exams can indeed be an effective way to prepare. You can download free, previously administered ACT practice tests directly from the ACT's website. They have a series of old tests available for students to use as practice.

An online search can also help you find other sources of past ACT tests. Please be aware, though, to look for reputable sources, since third-party websites might sometimes have inaccurate or unauthorized test materials.

Another method would be through test prep books, such as the ACT's official guide, which include real ACT tests from past years. These guides do cost money, but you may find them to be valuable resources due to the additional test-taking strategies and methods they provide alongside the practice exams.

Last but not least, you could hire a private test prep tutor or join prep classes that generally will have an array of past ACT tests for their students to take.

Please remember to simulate real test conditions when doing these practice tests, including adhering to the time limits for each section, in order to best prepare yourself for the actual exam. Good luck with your studies!
