Tips to get ACT-ready:

• Test sites can fill quickly, so we suggest that students sign up well in advance for the test dates they plan to take.
• Students who will take an online version of the ACT can contact their director for more information about online testing and how to practice with digital ACT practice tests. 
• For students who see the option to choose paper or digital testing this spring, we recommend taking the paper test. Since the digital version is fairly new to U.S. testing centers, we anticipate potential technical glitches in the beginning.
• Look out for information about how we’ll be updating our resources when the new ACT changes come in Spring 2025!
