 Introduction
Before the ACT exam, students usually try to enhance their vocabulary as much as possible. Although ACT isn't a pure English test, three of them mainly rely on English skills. Like all English tests, you cannot expect to get a high score with poor vocabulary. Vocabulary is definitely the base for thinking, talking, reading, and writing, which is the foundation of any language skills. To build ACT vocabulary, you need to study first and then review known words to keep them warm.

This app, ACT Vocabulary Test Online, is a tool to help you build ACT vocabulary. Within modern education methodology, the app runs on random practice. It has a built-in set of more than 1000 ACT words, which are matched with the middle level of 12th-grade students and are highly useful in ACT papers.

The app needs to store your test data because its core features rely on results from previous practices. So you should sign up before any activities. ACT Vocabulary Test Online is free. You can use a generic examword.com account (email/access code) to sign in. If you don't have an account yet, creating one only takes a few minutes. Sign in and start to enjoy this fantastic web app!
