ACT Prep for Juniors

Moriah Johnson

ACT Up is an app that appeals to anyone who is taking the ACT and needs extra practice. ACT Up is for people who do not have time to sit down and take traditional tests all of the time. This app gives you the opportunity to have smaller drills given to you everyday. Whether it be actual passages or vocabulary drills, they will give you different things to prepare yourself. Jacob Kosakowski ‘18 reflects, “I wish I knew about this app before the ACT!” The app was created at the beginning of 2017. It is available for Iphones and Androids.

ACT Up has millions of users. Students have the opportunity to track their progress. The App gives you a diagnostic test before you are able to access any of the features. It will break down what sections you need to work on. It has badges or milestones, like Reviewing 50 words in a week, that give theoretical prizes and show mastery of the subjects. According to Sierra Orr ‘18, “this app is so convenient. I am able to practice anywhere and whenever I have time.”  

If you need some extra practice on the ACT, this app is definitely for you. It is very convenient, and it allows you to focus on other things in your life and not have the test take over. Camryn Salter ‘18 says, “I definitely recommend this app, 100%”. Also, if you are taking the SAT, there is an SAT Up app as well that provides similar drills.
