• Review the ACT calculator policy to make sure your calculator is approved.
• Review the Test Day checklist for what you need to bring to the testing center.

Test scores

• Get your scores through your ACT account. Scores are normally reported two to eight weeks after your test, or five to eight weeks for ACT with writing.
• Your scores may not come in time for you to decide if you want to register for the next test date.
• You are “more than just a score” and your ACT score report confirms that. The report has information about your needs, interests and possible career options that you can share with colleges.

college reports

• You can send up to four score reports for free when your register. Additional score reports can be ordered later.
• ACT scores are accepted by all four-year U.S. colleges and universities.
