ACT Test Starting Time

Hi everyone! Anyone know what time the ACT usually starts in the morning? Want to make sure I have enough time to eat breakfast and arrive without rushing!

Hi there! The actual start time of the ACT can vary depending on the test center, but generally, tests begin around 8:00 AM. It's important to arrive at the test center by 7:45 AM, as this allows you time to check-in and find your assigned classroom. It's great to see that you're planning ahead to ensure a stress-free morning!

I would recommend double-checking your test center's specific start time to be certain. You will receive a confirmation from ACT that includes the reporting time and location. Make sure to get a good night's sleep, eat a balanced breakfast, and give yourself some extra time in the morning to arrive at the test center well ahead of time to minimize any last-minute stress. Good luck on your test!
