With the introduction of the Enhanced ACT, finding effective and up-to-date ACT prep resources can be a challenge. Taking practice tests is vital, but most ACT resources are outdated or inaccurate. 

Summit is proud to now offer Enhanced ACT practice tests, which accurately simulate the content, scoring, difficulty, and pacing of the new official exams. 

We are confident that our practice tests are the best resources available for familiarizing yourself with ACT content, assessing and developing skills, and transforming your test anxieties into well-earned confidence!

When You Need an Enhanced ACT Practice Test

If you are planning to take the ACT in September 2025 or later, you’ll be taking the new Enhanced format of the test. As you prepare for the official exam, practice tests will be important at several stages:

• Decide between SAT and ACT. When choosing which test to prep for, it’s best to take one of each practice test and compare your scores and personal impressions. Both exams changed to new formats recently, so be sure you’re using up-to-date prep materials!
• Identify strengths and areas for improvement. Practice tests act as a diagnostic tool. Using our detailed score reports, our test experts can identify patterns that inform how you can most effectively prep. While pinpointing weaker skills to strengthen, we also look for areas of proficiency that can be further developed and leveraged. 
• Track score progress as you prep. Your initial diagnostic test sets a baseline for your scores. As your prep improves your skills, you can track this growth directly through score improvements. Further, these scores help set realistic expectations for your official tests and college applications. 

If you are at any of these points in your test-prep journey, our Enhanced ACT practice tests will be indispensable tools for building the confidence and skills necessary to achieve your best.

The Power of Practice

A good practice test offers much more than a score. The true value of practice tests lies in what they offer your mind: 

• Develop familiarity with content. The ACT’s challenging question types often reappear in similar forms. When you learn to recognize and solve these types, you will feel more in control. Use practice tests as a low-stakes opportunity to make mistakes and learn from them. On test day, there will be no surprises.
• Master time-management. Standardized tests are as much about managing your time as they are about knowing certain skills. Identify tough problems that are “time sinks” and quick solutions that can save precious seconds. Develop an intuitive sense for this pacing on practice tests before your official, high-stakes tests.
• Build endurance and reduce anxiety. Sitting through a multi-hour exam requires mental stamina. Like training to run a marathon, the best way to prepare for the Enhanced ACT is to make it a routine. Regular practice tests prepare your brain for the sustained focus required on test day. Furthermore, familiarity with the exam content and pressure breeds confidence, which is a significant factor in your performance.
