Focus on what matters most.

Our test prep curriculum includes strategically selected words that are most likely to appear on the ACT, including the math and science sections. The program not only teaches the challenging academic vocabulary that appears in reading passages, it also provides explicit instruction on the language of the test. These terms appear in test directions and questions, and are equally critical for students to master. We help you target those high-utility, high-frequency words that are most crucial for you to know.

Personalized test prep.

Our advanced algorithms pinpoint the holes in your vocabulary and deliver targeted instruction to close those gaps. This adaptive approach ensures that students will spend more time studying what they still need to learn, not what they already know.

Don't just memorize, master.

Vocabulary.com's research-based method ensures that students don't simply memorize, they develop a true understanding that lasts through test day and beyond. Repeated exposure to new words at varied intervals supports retention, different question types activate higher-order thinking, and teaching all the core definitions of multiple-meaning words fosters depth of knowledge.

Be successful with test prep you can stick to.

With our self-paced structure, students can always find time to fit studying into their busy schedules, anytime and anywhere. And to motivate them to stick with it, the program rewards students with points and achievements that encourage them to put in the effort and level up.

Access unlimited practice.

In addition to weekly practice activities and quizzes, the Roadmap offers access to Vocabulary.com's extensive bank of 230,000 questions and 15,000 words. Students who want to go above and beyond will never run out of quality material to continue building their word knowledge through real-world usage examples.
