How long is this ACT practice test?

This practice test follows the enhanced ACT format used from 2025: English (35 minutes, 50 questions), Mathematics (50 minutes, 45 questions with four answer choices) and Reading (40 minutes, 36 questions), a 2 hour 5 minute core test with a 10-minute break after Math. You can add the optional Science section (40 minutes, 40 questions), which takes the total to about 2 hours 45 minutes.

How is the ACT practice test scored?

Each section is scored on a scale of 1-36. Your Composite score is the average of English, Math and Reading, rounded to the nearest whole number, exactly as on the enhanced ACT. If you take the optional Science section, it is scored 1-36 and reported separately together with a STEM score (the average of Math and Science). Science does not affect the Composite.

Is this ACT practice test free?

Yes, this full-length ACT practice test is completely free. You get all 131 core questions (171 with Science), instant scoring, and a detailed score report with skill-level analysis, no payment required.

Can I use a calculator on the ACT practice test?

Yes, calculators are permitted on the entire Mathematics section, just like the real ACT. The English, Reading, and Science sections do not allow calculators. A calculator indicator is shown during the Math section.
