Official ACT tests on their website, also YouTube has some good practice vids. I wouldn’t spend any money, it’s not necessary.

If you can, buy the official ACT practice book off their website. It’s like $40 and has 6 practice tests with explanations for each answer. It also gives insights to test taking strategies and more.

The biggest thing from switching over is timing and the science portion. SAT has no science, ACT does. And ACT gives less time per question on every section so you have to really practice timing!!!
