Where Can I Take the ACT Test?

Hi, this might sound really dumb, but I have no clue where to take the ACT test. Is it online or do I need to go to a testing center?

The ACT test is generally administered at local high schools or testing centers. Generally, you should expect to take the ACT in person. When you register for the ACT test online through the ACT website, you'll be able to choose your test center from a list of available locations.

To start the process, go to the ACT's official website and click on "Registration". From there, you'll be asked to sign in or create an account. Once you've logged in, you'll be able to choose a test date and a test center. You can then proceed to pay the registration fee and finalize your registration.

It's important to note that not all high schools serve as testing centers, and availability might vary depending on the date of the test. So, it's a good idea to register as early as you can to secure a spot at a testing center that's convenient for you.

This is also a good time to familiarize yourself with the ACT's policies on what to bring (and not to bring) on the day of the test, including proper identification, authorized calculators, etc., to ensure a smooth test day experience. It's not a dumb question at all; preparation is key to success.
