The ACT is 3 hours long, almost 4 hours if you take the essay section. Due to its importance, we recommend preparing for the exam by reviewing the material and taking practice tests.
Achieving a higher score makes you a more competitive applicant for both colleges and scholarships.
While everyone is different, Peterson’s recommends at least six weeks of preparation for test day, longer if you are looking for a substantial score increase. Peterson’s ACT test prep products all help students create a personalized study plan.
