If you haven’t heard yet, Test Innovators has officially launched ACT prep!
The ACT is the most widely used standardized test required for college admissions in the United States, and it’s now available on the Test Innovators platform.
It’s easy to get started – go to testinnovators.com/act to take a Test Innovators online practice test or grade an Official ACT Guide Red Book exam on the platform for free.
Our ACT platform has everything you need to prepare for the ACT:
normative score reports which provide immediate ACT scoring from 0-36 and percentile conversions of those scores
diagnostic tools which help students and educators quickly identify and prioritize areas for improvement
key timing data and tracking to help students perfect time management, a crucial part of success on the ACT
an adaptive system which recommends hundreds of additional practice exercises based on students’ performance on practice tests
