Ten full-length online mocks follow enhanced ACT section times and question counts. Your student chooses whether to include Science and Writing before starting.
Give every result a next step
Section results and skill-level accuracy help your student spot weak areas. Recommendations link directly to focused practice, so they can act on what they learn.
Turn mistakes into understanding
Completed sessions include worked explanations and review of incorrect choices, so your student can understand a mistake and practice the skill again.
Prep that fits a school week
Short lessons and focused ten-question sets make it easier to build a regular study habit. Saved work keeps the next session easy to pick up.
Start with the exam
Practice for the ACT you plan to take.
English, Math and Reading make up the Composite score. Science and Writing are additional options. Check your registration and school requirements so your study plan matches the test you will take.
Core testing time excludes breaks and optional sections. For school-day testing, the school or district may decide whether Science is included. SHSPrep includes practice for both Science and Writing.
Move from a mock exam to the skills you missed, then into a lesson or focused practice. Your work stays together, so it is easy to pick up where you left off.

Good questions deserve clear answers
Before you get started.
A little clarity on the test, the program, and how access works.
How similar is the practice to the ACT?
Our ten original online mocks follow the enhanced ACT’s section lengths and timing: 131 core questions over two hours and five minutes, before breaks. Practice includes passage-based questions, on-screen navigation and section timers, with optional Science and Writing. The mocks help you rehearse the online test routine; if you are taking the ACT on paper, also practice with official paper materials. Results show practice accuracy, not an official ACT Composite score.
Should I prepare for Science or Writing?
Check your registration, school-day testing requirements and the colleges you are considering. Your school or district may decide whether Science is included. SHSPrep includes Science lessons, targeted practice and optional Science in all mock exams. Writing includes lessons, reflections and original essay prompts in all mock exams, with a rubric for self-review, without an automated essay score.
What is included with paid ACT prep?
ACT prep includes 45 lessons, 1201 targeted practice items, lesson checks, and ten original mock exams. Targeted practice covers English, Math, Reading and optional Science. Writing includes lessons, reflections and essay prompts in all mock exams, with a rubric for self-review without an automated essay score. Objective questions include worked explanations. Mock results show raw accuracy, not an official ACT score.
How is this different from the free official practice tests?
Official practice tests are a useful benchmark. SHSPrep helps you act on what you learn between tests: review accuracy by section and skill, understand missed answers, and open focused practice from your results. Lessons, original online mock exams and saved review stay in one workspace. Use both together to build your ACT skills and check your readiness.
Is this a live class or a self-paced program?
SHSPrep is self-paced software with lessons, practice and review. Monthly access costs $34, or choose six months for one $99 payment. You can also use it alongside a tutor: bring your missed questions and skill-level results to your next session.
How long do the one-time passes last?
The $99 Season Pass lasts six calendar months from successful payment. The $169 Early Studier Plan lasts twelve calendar months from successful payment. Neither pass renews automatically. These are rolling terms, not school-year expiration dates.
How does the monthly plan work?
Monthly access costs $34 and renews each month until canceled. Canceling ends paid access immediately, including when cancellation is scheduled for the end of the billing period.
Can a parent manage more than one student?
Parents use their own accounts and connect with their students by invitation. Monthly and Season Pass plans each include one student seat; the Early Studier Plan includes two. Seats apply only to ACT prep.
Does one purchase include the other exams?
No. Each purchase covers ACT prep only. SAT, ACT and SHSAT have separate access, learning progress and billing. An existing SHSPrep account can enroll in another exam without replacing its current access.
Is SHSPrep affiliated with ACT?
No. SHSPrep is an independent prep provider. ACT is a trademark of ACT Education Corp., which does not sponsor or endorse SHSPrep. SHSPrep mock results show raw accuracy and worked review, not official ACT scores.
