ATTENTION ACT TEST TAKERS!
ACT recently launched a new online platform called MyACT that allows students to access their scores, register for future tests, and more.
MyACT.org is a tool that allows students to register, schedule, and pay for future ACT tests, explore ACT test prep products, and access and send their scores to colleges and institutions of their choice. MyACT.org also contains free college and career planning tools to help students navigate their next steps and provides insight to their interests and how they align to their future goals.
Accessing Scores in MyACT.org:
Once the scoring process is completed, students will receive their scores in the mail, if they provided their correct mailing address during testing. Their scores will also be available in MyACT. Their mailed score report will contain a supplement providing them with information on how to create a MyACT account that will successfully link to their state testing scores, using their uniquely assigned ACT ID number included on their mailed report. We will include this supplement and a MyACT Quick Start Guide on your ACT State testing webpage, in the Interpretation section. Please share the information with your Director of Counseling. If your students have trouble creating or accessing their scores, or if they created an account without using their ACT ID number, please have the students contact ACT Customer Care at https://www.act.org/content/act/en/contact-act.html for assistance.
