Free ACT practice test for Grade 10ACT Enhanced ACT
Many students take a first ACT in the spring of Grade 10 or the fall of Grade 11, often after a state or school PreACT. The ACT is one test for every grade, so our Grade 10 tests are the same shape as the ones for older students: a good first look at the timing and the question types.

Tips
Getting ready for Grade 10
- Sit one test at a time and look at the categories in the report: they show which kinds of question cost the most.
- In English, read the whole sentence with each choice in place before you choose. NO CHANGE is right more often than students expect.
- In Math, a calculator is allowed, but most questions are quicker with a sketch or by trying the answer choices.
