Timing for Pre-ACT

Hey everyone! So I'm a little anxious about the Pre-ACT coming up as I'm really unfamiliar with it - I hear its shorter, but how long is it exactly? Just wanna get my bearings, you know?

Hello! The Pre-ACT consists of four sections: English, Math, Reading, and Science.

The English section is 30 minutes long and consists of 45 multiple-choice questions.

The Math section is 40 minutes long with 36 multiple-choice questions.

The Reading section lasts for 25 minutes and has 25 multiple-choice questions.

Lastly, the Science section is 30 minutes long and includes 30 multiple-choice questions.

In total, the Pre-ACT is 125 minutes long, which is a bit shorter than the ACT itself. It’s a good way to get a feel for what the ACT is like without quite as much pressure since Pre-ACT scores aren't typically used in college admissions. So, take a deep breath and use this as a learning experience to gauge your strengths and areas for improvement!
