FAQ's:
Do I have to register with ACT to get a student number if this is my first test? No.
Will the School Day Exam Registration be listed in my ACT portal? No. However your test score results will be listed following the release of your scores.
Can I still take the April 2 National Test Date ACT Exam, even though I am taking the March 29th School Day Exam? Yes, you can take both the March 29th School Day Exam and the April 2 National Test Date Exam. Some students prefer to see the results of a previous exam in order to prepare for the next exam. If you have registered for the April 2 exam, but would like to wait to take it until another date, you need to log-in to your ACT Student account and move your test date.
How will I add colleges to this exam, so that my score report will be sent directly to the colleges? We will have a session, prior to you taking the exam, where you will complete page one of the answer document and fill-in the colleges you would like your scores sent to.
I am planning to take College Algebra, Calculus I, or Statistics for dual enrollment credit through JCCC, should I list Johnson County Community College as one of the colleges I want my scores to go to? Yes.
