Hey folks, I'm gearing up to take my ACT soon - can anyone let me know what time does the ACT test typically start? I'm wondering because I want to plan my sleep schedule accordingly. Thanks in advance!
Hello! Most ACT tests typically start at 8:00 AM, but you would need to arrive earlier than that. It is recommended you arrive at your testing center no later than 7:45 AM. You will need time to find your testing room, get checked in, and get settled before the test begins. So, set your sleep schedule accordingly. Also consider adding a buffer for unexpected delays, like traffic, to ensure you arrive on time.
On a separate note, if you want some tips to help ensure you do as well as possible when you do sit down for your ACT, I'd check out CollegeVine's series of free blog posts focused on ACT prep, which you can access here: https://blog.collegevine.com/category/standardized-tests/act/.
