How to Register for the ACT

You can register online for the ACT, a process which takes about 40 minutes. First, find a test date that works for you, and make sure that you register early, before the deadline. To do so, you'll need the following:

  • Computer with internet access
  • ACT student web account
  • Your high school course details
  • Recent photo of yourself that meets the ACT guidelines
  • Credit card or other form of payment to pay the registration fee unless you qualify for a fee waiver

The ACT can be taken with or without the writing and science sections. To determine if you need either, find out if the colleges you're applying to require them. When you register, you can opt into ACT’s Educational Opportunity Service, which will connect you with financial institutions and colleges based on your interests and future plans.

Be sure to print out your ticket to the test center after you register, as you'll need it to take the ACT.
