Hi everyone! I'm planning to register for the ACT soon but I am unsure of the fees involved (test fee, late registration fee, sending scores, etc.). Can someone give me a breakdown of these costs? Thanks!
Hi there! I'd be happy to help you with a breakdown of the costs associated with registering for the ACT. As of now, the fees are as follows:
1. ACT (no writing) – The basic registration fee for the ACT without the writing portion is $68.
2. ACT with writing – If you opt to take the ACT with the writing portion, the registration fee will be $93.
3. Late registration – There's a $38 fee for late registration if you miss the regular registration deadline. It's always best to register early to avoid this additional cost.
4. Test change – If you need to change your test date or test center after registering, there's a fee of $44.
5. Sending scores – When you register for the ACT, you can send your scores to up to four colleges at no charge. However, if you want to send your scores to additional colleges or do so after the test date, there's a fee of $18.5 per college.
Keep in mind that these fees are subject to change, so it's always a good idea to check the ACT website for the most up-to-date information. You may also want to explore fee waivers if you qualify; they can help cover the registration fees if you meet certain eligibility criteria. Good luck with your ACT registration and preparation!
