DALLAS, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- UWorld, a global leader in academic and professional education, has launched a comprehensive ACT^® Prep Course, expanding its ACT preparation beyond an established question bank with a connected "Watch, Read, Practice" learning experience.

The new, self-paced course adds expert-led video lessons, interactive print and digital study guides, more than 2,500 practice questions with the company's renowned answer explanations, a personalized study planner and real-time performance analytics to its exam-style practice. The resources give students a structured way to learn ACT concepts, reinforce their understanding and apply what they have learned, while giving parents confidence that their student has a comprehensive preparation resource in one place.

"Students are most successful when they have the right resources working together throughout their ACT preparation, and parents want to know they're giving their students the support they need," said Jeffrey A. Elliott, Chief Operating Officer at UWorld. "We've built an integrated experience where students can learn a concept, reinforce it, put it into practice and understand why an answer is correct or incorrect. It brings the depth of learning UWorld College Prep is known for into every stage of ACT preparation."

UWorld College Prep's "Watch, Read, Practice" approach is an active learning method to help students prepare for high-stakes exams through application rather than passive memorization. Students learn or refresh a concept, reinforce their understanding and then put that knowledge into practice. The approach keeps students actively engaged while connecting learning directly to ACT-style applications. Realistic practice builds familiarity with the exam, while detailed performance analytics identify weaker areas so students can adjust their preparation and focus additional practice where it is needed most.

The ACT Prep Course gives students several tools to make their preparation more targeted and flexible, whether they are preparing alongside a traditional school schedule or as part of a homeschool curriculum. Students can use a diagnostic assessment to establish a starting point, set a target score and build a personalized study plan around their goals, test date and availability. Performance analytics help identify weaker subjects and skills, while customizable quizzes allow students to target those areas with additional practice.

Timed test simulations provide opportunities to practice pacing and build familiarity with the testing experience. Students also have access to digital flashcards, a notebook and mobile study tools, with progress synced across devices.

UWorld College Prep recommends that most students begin focused ACT preparation about three months before test day, giving families time to identify learning gaps, establish a consistent routine and prepare without relying on last-minute cramming.

Existing UWorld ACT question bank customers can upgrade to the full ACT Prep Course from within the UWorld platform. New students and parents can experience the comprehensive course through a free, seven-day trial before selecting a plan that fits their preparation timeline.

The UWorld ACT Prep Course is aligned with the current digital ACT and includes preparation for English, Math and Reading.
