In the US, you can use practice for noun and verb. In the UK, you must use practice for the noun, and practise for the verb. For example:

• Shall I practice my handwriting? () ()
  
  
  
• Practice makes perfect. () ()
  
  
  

Some in the US are now following the UK convention. So:

• Shall I practise my handwriting? () ()

A LITTLE TRICK TO SPOT PRACTICE

Try using the word preparation (or lessons) instead of practice. If the sentence still makes sense, then practice is almost certainly correct.
(This trick works because practice is a noun, just like the words preparation and lessons.)

A LITTLE TRICK TO SPOT PRACTISE

Try using the verb to prepare(in its various forms, e.g., preparing, prepared, prepares) instead of practise. If the sentence still makes sense, then practise is almost certainly correct. However, if you find yourself trying to use preparation, then you should be using practice, because both are nouns.
(This trick works because to practise is a verb, just like to prepare. )

NO CONFUSION

There should be no confusion with practising or practised. These are always verbs.

PRACTICE IN AMERICA 

Whilst many in the US have adopted practise as the verb and practice as the noun, it is acceptable to use practice for both noun and verb in American English.

I must keep practising/practicing that accent.
(both versions acceptable in American English)
