Welcome to the Achievable ACT course!
This course is designed to effectively prepare you for the ACT exam. It includes targeted content divided by the subjects English, Math, Reading, Science, and Writing, which is what you will experience on the actual ACT exam.
The ACT is usually taken by students between the ages of 16 and 18 who are preparing for college admissions. However, anyone who is at least 13 years old and has completed, or is in the process of completing, high school can take the ACT.
The exam will consist of four sections: English, Science, Math, Reading, and an optional writing section. Each section, except writing, will contain multiple-choice style questions.
Each section is graded separately from 1 to 36, and your final, or composite, score will be the average of the four sections. The writing section is graded separately, and the score ranges 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 chose to take the optional writing portion, you will be given 40 minutes to write one essay.

Study smart.
While you are prepping to take the ACT, be honest with yourself and identify which sections you struggle with the most. Use this as a foundation for your practice, making sure that you are strengthening areas where you notice that you may lack complete understanding. Also, keep in mind to continue to practice and review in the areas that you are strong in so that you maintain your comprehension.
The textbook’s wrapping-up portion contains more details about taking the ACT exam, including how to register, the exam cost, and test-taking options.
