Break the Test: Free SAT and ACT Practice
Free full-length practice tests and drills for the digital SAT, the ACT, AP exams, and college application essays. After each question it shows you which trap you fell for, not just the right answer, so the same mistakes stop repeating. 14,700+ questions, every one independently checked.
Why most prep stalls
More questions and an answer key tell you that you got something wrong, not why. Break the Test names the specific trap you keep falling for: the answer that is true but does not answer the question, the one that is slightly too strong, the one about the wrong part of the passage. That way the same mistakes stop repeating.

Common questions
Are these the real questions from the SAT or ACT?
No, and that is the point. Each question is written to look and feel like the real digital SAT or ACT and is built around a specific way the exam tries to trip you up, so you practice catching the pattern instead of memorizing a leaked answer.
Do you have full-length ACT practice tests?
Yes. There are free full-length ACT practice tests with authentic English, Math, Reading, and Science sections, scored 1 to 36 with a composite, plus shorter single-section tests. They are built to match the current ACT, not leaked from it.
Can I practice the ACT Science section?
Yes. ACT Science tests how you read graphs, tables, and experiments under time, not memorized facts. We have a full ACT Science question bank plus Science sections inside the full-length ACT tests, so you can practice the reasoning that section rewards.
Is it free?
Yes, fully free to use. No paywall, no credit card, and no ads. There is also a no-sign-up demo you can try instantly. If we ever add paid features, we will tell you in advance and will not take away anything you already have.
How is this different from an app that just gives you the answer?
Some apps just hand you the answer, but on test day it is just you and four choices. We show you why the tempting wrong answers are built to look right, so you learn to catch them yourself. Every question is independently checked before it ships, so you are never practicing against a wrong answer key.
How do I know the questions and answer keys are correct?
Every question is solved from scratch and independently checked before it ships. We re-checked all 14,700+ questions in one pass and fixed every error we found, and you can flag any question in one tap for human review.
I have run out of official SAT or ACT practice tests. Can this help?
Yes. We have 50+ full-length practice tests across the digital SAT and the ACT, built to match the current exams, including the harder second SAT module that catches people off guard. The SAT is scored on the College Board's published conversion and the ACT on a 1 to 36 scale.
Should I take the SAT or the ACT?
Colleges accept both equally, so take the one you score better on. The digital SAT is shorter and adaptive with a calculator for all of Math; the ACT is faster per question and includes a Science section. Try a short drill of each here and focus your practice on whichever feels more natural.
Where does the practice-test score come from?
SAT sections are converted with the College Board's published raw-to-scaled tables and ACT sections use the published 1 to 36 scale. The conversion is official and the questions are original, so read the number as a solid estimate rather than an official score, with roughly a 60-point band on the SAT.
