Typo in ACT score - help!

Hey everyone, I noticed there's a typo in my ACT 'scire' on some official documents I received. Does anyone know what steps I should take to get it corrected? I don't want a silly typo to cause any issues with my college applications.

It's understandable that you'd want to have your ACT score corrected on official documents. Here's what you can do to get it fixed:

1. Contact ACT Customer Support: Reach out to ACT Customer Support either by phone at 319-337-1270, or via email through their website. Explain the situation, provide them with the correct information, and request that they update your records accordingly. They should be able to help you with the necessary corrections.

2. Verify the Changes: Once you've initiated the correction process, give it some time (approximately 2-3 weeks) and follow up with ACT Customer Support to make sure the changes have been made. You can request a new copy of your ACT score report to ensure that the typo has been corrected.

3. Inform the Colleges: If your corrected score report is significantly different than what you initially reported to colleges, you should contact each college's admissions office to inform them of the updated information. This is particularly important if the typo might impact your application in any way. You can send them a brief email explaining the situation and the corrected score, along with your updated score report.

4. Check Your Application: Carefully review your college applications to ensure that no other typos or errors exist. This will prevent potential issues in the future and make sure that you present the most accurate information possible to colleges.

Remember, mistakes happen, and colleges understand that. By proactively addressing the issue and ensuring that your ACT score is corrected, you'll demonstrate responsibility and attention to detail. That said, it's always best to double-check all your application materials and official documents for accuracy before submitting them. Good luck!
