Hey guys! I'm about to start applying to colleges, and I'm not exactly sure how to send in my ACT scores to them. Anyone who's been through this before, could you break it down for me?
Sure! The process for submitting ACT scores to colleges typically follows a few steps that I'll outline for you here:
1. Log in to your ACT account: So to start with, you'll need to visit the ACT's official website and log in to your account.
2. Request an ACT score report: Once you're logged in, there should be an option for you to request your ACT score report. You'll be asked to select which test date you want the scores to be sent from. Don't worry if you've taken the ACT multiple times - you can choose to send scores from one specific test date, or you can send scores from all test dates.
3. Choose your colleges: Next up, you'll have the chance to choose which colleges you want your ACT scores to be sent to. You can search for each school by its name or code, and after you've selected a college, it will be added to your score report.
4. Review and Pay: After you've chosen your colleges, the final steps are reviewing your order and paying for it. There's a fee to send each ACT score report (unless you are using fee waivers or free reports that ACT might provide depending on your eligibility). Once you review your order and it's as you want it to be, you can proceed to payment.
5. Order Confirmation: When everything's been processed, you'll receive an order confirmation. It usually takes around a week for the scores to be sent to your chosen schools, depending on the processing time.
This should give you a good start on sending your ACT scores! It's best to do this as soon as possible after your colleges' deadlines, so make sure to plan ahead.
