All Events

Students taking the ACT have a fantastic opportunity to take a free virtual practice test for one of these exams.

StudyPoint is offering the practice test events, and since they're doing so virtually, students can take the practice test from their home. Full length practice tests are the single best way to prepare for the real thing, and participating students receive a detailed analysis that breaks down how they did by section, question type, and content area so they can get a sense for where they might want to do some review prior to the real thing.
