Information about Online Prep

ACT® Online Prep is an engaging, interactive test prep program developed by the makers of the ACT, using the same research and expertise that has made the ACT the most widely used college entrance exam in the nation. Administrator dashboards let you track students’ progress at an individual or aggregate level, including time spent on the program, performance on the practice questions and tests, and areas in which they need more help. Students can access the program online or through a free mobile app at school, home, or on the go, anytime.

Tip: We recommend you mark noreply@onlineprep.act.org as a safe sender to ensure you will receive system notifications.

Resources

Tip: Allowing early access for students will provide the most prep time before test day.

Documentation

Tip: When loading students, we recommend using real email addresses. This will allow the system to send activation emails directly to the students. It also allows for students to use the ‘forgot password’ feature if needed.

Tip: Use the Educator Guide to incorporate into the classroom instruction.

Tip: Administering 1 or both of the full length practice exams will provide more robust reporting.
