Hey everyone, I'm trying to plan my test dates for the ACT, but I'm not really sure when I should register to make sure I don't miss the deadline. Can anyone give me some guidance on how far in advance I should sign up? Thanks!
If you're aiming to take the ACT, it's a good idea to register for the test at least two months before your desired test date. This will not only ensure that you don't miss the registration deadline, but also give you a better chance of securing your preferred testing location, as test centers can fill up quickly.
Typically, registration deadlines for the ACT are about a month before the test date. To be on the safe side, keep an eye on the ACT website for the specific test dates and their corresponding registration deadlines. I recommend creating a calendar reminder or setting an alert on your phone to make sure you don't miss the deadline.
It's also important to plan your test schedule based on factors such as how much time you'll need for preparation, the application deadlines of the colleges you'll be applying to, and whether you plan on taking the test more than once to improve your score. Keep all these factors in mind as you make your test-taking timeline, and good luck!
