To provide a more authentic practice experience, we've added key ACT tools that replicate the official online test interface. Students can now use the Magnifier to zoom in on specific areas, Answer Masking to hide answer choices and reduce distractions, and the Answer Eliminator to cross out options they want to rule out. A Scientific Calculator is available for advanced calculations, and the Annotation tool allows users to highlight or add notes directly on questions. These features are designed to help students build familiarity and confidence ahead of test day.
