ACT changes!

·         ACT Section Retesting

Students who have taken the test can have the choice to retake individual ACT section tests (English, math, reading, science or writing), rather than the entire ACT test.

·         Online Testing/Faster Score Results

Students have the option of online or paper testing on national test days at ACT test centers.  Online testing offers faster results – as soon as two business days.

 ·         ACT Superscoring

For students who have taken the ACT test more than once, ACT will report a superscore showing the best scores from all test administrations (and full test score). Many colleges superscore for admission and scholarship decisions, and this is a great way to show a student’s best scores, rather than scores from just one sitting.

 ·         New Fee Waiver and Score Sending Policies

Unlimited free score reports are available for students who have taken the ACT with a fee waiver so they may send their superscore or scores from any individual test, even those taken previously during the ACT National Test and State and District Test.  

ACT also now offers four fee waivers to all qualifying students. These students can choose how they apply the waivers to maximize their potential for success in retesting and test preparation. Counselors can request fee waivers on behalf of qualifying students.
