Welcome to the Achievable ACT course!
This course is designed to prepare you for the ACT exam. The content is organized by the same subjects you’ll see on the test: English, Math, Reading, Science, and Writing.
The ACT is usually taken by students ages 16-18 as part of the college admissions process. However, anyone who is at least 13 years old and has completed high school (or is currently completing it) can take the ACT.
The exam has four required sections - English, Math, Reading, and Science - plus an optional Writing section.
Each required section is scored from 1 to 36. Your composite score is the average of the four required section scores.
The Writing section is scored separately, from 2 to 12.
| Test | Questions | Time per test |
|---|---|---|
| English | 75 | 45 minutes |
| Mathematics | 60 | 60 minutes |
| Reading | 40 | 35 minutes |
| Science | 40 | 35 minutes |
If you choose the optional Writing portion, you’ll have 40 minutes to write one essay.

Study smart.
As you prepare for the ACT, identify which sections are most challenging for you. Use that information to guide your practice so you can strengthen the areas where your understanding isn’t complete yet. At the same time, keep practicing the sections you’re already strong in so those skills stay sharp.
The textbook’s wrap-up section includes practical details about taking the ACT, including registration, exam costs, and test-taking options.
This course is designed to guide you through the ACT. Achievable exam prep includes an online textbook, review questions, full-length practice exams, and videos on key topics. Work through the course in order: start with the textbook, then move into practice questions and full-length exams.
