ACT sign-up is YOUR responsibility. It is easiest to register
online.
Go to www.actstudent.org to
register for the ACT and to find information about test dates,
registration deadlines, etc. Make a note of the password information
associated with your account, as you will need it to access practice
tests, score reports, etc. To become familiar with the ACT testing
format, work through free practice tests online at websites such as www.actstudent.org, www.get2college.org, and www.firstregional.org.
Test fee waivers:
If you receive free or reduced school lunch, you can request up to two
waivers for ACT fees, to be used during your junior or senior
years of high school. Request a "test fee waiver" letter from the school
cafeteria and show
your Social Security card to the school ACT Coordinator. Please
allow at least two days before the registration deadline when requesting
a fee waiver.
When you register for the ACT, go ahead and have your scores reported to as many colleges as you can -whether
or not you plan to apply for admission to that school - if there is the
slightest possibility you may apply for admission there. This can save
you money later in score reporting fees.
