The World’s Best Prep for The ACT® Exam!

UWorld provides thousands of ACT exam-like questions so that you will get used to the format, difficulty level, and types of questions you will see on the ACT exam. But, more importantly, you are provided with detailed explanations for every answer choice. These rationales provide step-by-step problem-solving guidance, explain why you may have made a mistake, and help you deepen your understanding so you answer correctly next time. In addition, our self-assessments and performance reporting help identify areas you need to work on the most, so you don’t waste your time.

Yes! The 2,100+ questions that you have access to cover every subject and skill that you will encounter on the ACT exam. And it provides practice at different difficulty levels. Many students who practice using the more difficult questions feel over prepared on exam day. When they sit for their exam, the exam feels just like practice.

Do you want to make the highest score you possibly can? If so, then yes, ACT test preparation is worth it. Not doing any prep and just hoping for the best won’t get you far. The only reliable way to improve your chances of a high score is to practice with a high-quality, realistic resource where you can learn from your mistakes and build confidence.

The short answer is that you should begin preparing for the ACT exam as early as possible. But the exact amount of time depends on several factors that differ from person to person. You should consider your goal score and your beginning score to determine how much you need to improve. You also need to determine where you need to improve. Do you just need to raise your score in math, or do you need to improve in all areas? You also need to determine how much time per day or per week you have to dedicate to studying for the ACT. Usually, the more time you have before your test date, the less intense your prep needs to be. As a rule of thumb for most students, we highly recommend beginning your ACT prep at least three months before the exam, if not sooner. 

While our ACT practice questions are certainly some of the most realistic out there, our real difference is our answer explanations. Talk to any of our users, read any of our testimonials, and you will hear over and over again how much of a difference our explanations made in student’s score improvement. Being able to learn from your mistakes, clear up misconceptions, and understand how to approach questions the right way is far more powerful than just answering questions alone.

The ACT exam is offered multiple times a year and there are no limits to how many times you can take it. Some students take the ACT for the first time very early, sometimes as early as eighth grade. But, the more you have learned in school, the better you are likely to do. So, most students take the ACT test in the spring of 11th grade and/or in the fall of their senior year. It is important to know when you college applications are due, and make sure you give yourself at least two attempts at the test to send your best score to the college of your choice.

Our 90, 180, and 360 day subscriptions include self-assessments that are full-length ACT practice tests so you can mimic the exam experience. The self-assessments come with a score predictor that tells you what you could expect to make on the actual exam and breaks down each subject area so you know the concepts you need to work on the most to improve your score. 

Once you take the ACT exam, you can receive a total score of 1 up to 36. While there is no definition of a “good” score, you can see where you rank compared to how others scored. If you score a 20, that is a good – or average – score. If you score a 29, then you are in the 90th percentile. And, you are in the 99th percentile if you have an ACT score of 34 or above.
