Tuesday, February 24th
Paper-based Administration
All 11th-grade students are automatically registered for the School Day ACT. No action or registration is required from students or parents.
ABOUT THE TEST
The ACT is an important test that provides many benefits that can help them along the path to college. If your student is in 11th grade, they will automatically be registered by the school district. The ACT scores will inform you about your students’ progress toward colleges in making admission decisions. Students who take the ACT will be able to share their ACT scores with colleges and universities. The ACT can also give students concordant scores for Algebra 1/Geometry EOC (score of 16+) and/or FSA ELA Writing/Reading (average score of 18 on the Reading and English subtests). You can access ACT preparation resources by visiting ACT Test Prep.

ACT School Day Accommodations Reminder
Students with documented disabilities may be eligible for testing accommodations on the ACT.

To request accommodations for ACT, please complete the “Consent To Release Information To Act Form” and return it to your student’s school counselor by January 14th, 2026.

This consent allows the school to share documentation related to your student’s disability and the need for accommodations.

ACT Test Scores
How can I see my scores?
When available, your scores are posted online and accessed using your MyACT account.
ACT Customer Support cannot provide your scores by phone, email, chat, or fax.
- Multiple choice scores are normally available two weeks after each national test date, but it can sometimes take up to eight weeks.
- Writing scores are normally available about two weeks after your multiple-choice scores.
Occasionally, ACT is unable to post scores when expected. If yours are not available yet, it may be due to one of these issues:
- Answer documents from your test center arrived late, or your test date was rescheduled.
- The “Matching Information” you provided on the answer document (name, date of birth, and Match Number) is not consistent with the Matching Information on your admission ticket. Scores cannot be reported until they can be accurately matched to the correct person. You provided incomplete or inaccurate test form information on the answer document, or the answer document has not cleared all other scoring accuracy checks.
- An irregularity has been reported at your test center.
