I want to take the ACT in October, but I'm not sure when the registration deadline is. Can someone please let me know so I don't miss out on registering? Thanks!
The registration deadline for the October ACT typically falls around mid-September. However, exact dates can vary from year to year. To get the most accurate information, I recommend visiting the ACT's official website (act.org) and checking the "Test Dates & Deadlines" page for the specific deadline for the October test date in the year you plan to take it.
Keep in mind there is also a late registration period, which typically extends about two weeks past the regular registration deadline. Do be aware that if you register during the late period, you'll need to pay an additional late registration fee on top of the regular test fees. Fee waivers also typically don't cover late registration fees.
Even aside from the fee, it's best to register as soon as you can because test centers can fill up quickly, especially if you're looking to take the test at a popular location. Registering early will give you more options for test centers and ensure you have a spot secured for the October test date. Good luck!
