ACT prep questions.
Is this aligned to the Enhanced ACT 2026 format?
Yes. Every lesson and every practice test on our platform is calibrated to the Enhanced ACT — shorter overall, calculator allowed throughout, optional science, no penalty for skipping.
How much do composite scores actually move?
90% of IvyStrides ACT students gain 4+ composite points from their first diagnostic to their final official test. Many gain more on the section they were weakest in.
How many hours of live class do students get?
54+ hours of live instruction per batch, plus 25+ full-length Enhanced ACT practice tests with reviewed answer explanations.
Do you cover the optional science section?
Yes — including how to decide whether to take it. We coach the strategic call (when does science help, when does it hurt) alongside the content.
Can a student do 1-on-1 instead of a batch?
Yes. 1-on-1 is the right call for students aiming at 34+ or with a tight retake window. Book a free consultation and we'll recommend.
