ACT To Launch Online Test Prep

February 21, 2018

[socialring]Finally, ACT is introducing a free online test prep service, years after SAT partnered with Khan Academy to offer the service. The Iowa-based company announced that ACT Academy will be released this spring, with a target date in March, probably too late for the April test dates but in time for June test takers.

From the press release, ACT touts that “ACT Academy will provide students with engaging content and materials developed by ACT, the Khan Academy, NASA, PBS and other learning organizations in one convenient place. All of the content will be sorted by efficacy, so students receive the resources that have been proven to be most effective for each skill. “

Lakeside will share test specialists’ reviews when the program is released!
