Hi everyone, I've recently taken the ACT and I know the results are out, but I'm not sure how to check them. Could anyone guide me on where and how to look up my ACT scores online?
Sure, it's fairly straightforward to check your ACT scores online.
Firstly, you'll need to visit the official ACT website. You should see a section on the homepage with an option to "Sign In" or "Log In." If you have already registered for an account, you can go ahead and enter your credentials. If you've not created an account, you'll need to do so. Try to use the same email account that you used to register for the test, as it will make the process easier.
Once you're logged into your account, you'll see a dashboard with various options. Look for a button or a section titled "Your Tests" or "Test Dates and Scores." Click on that and it should take you to a page with all your ACT test dates and the scores for each date you've sat for the test. It's important to remember that it can take up to ten days for scores to be posted after the test date, so don't worry if you don't see them immediately.
Make sure to save or print a copy of your scores for your records, as you may need to reference them later when applying to colleges. Just note that these are your unofficial scores, since the official ones are sent directly to the colleges you selected on test day.
Remember that if you took the optional writing section, the score for this section might take a bit longer to be posted than your multiple-choice test scores. If you have any trouble accessing your scores or have further questions, the ACT website has resources and contact information for their customer service.
