Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to send my ACT scores to colleges, but I'm a little lost. Can someone walk me through the process of requesting and sending ACT scores to the colleges I'm applying to? Thanks in advance!
4 months agoSure, I'd be happy to help you with the process of sending your ACT scores to colleges!
To request and send your ACT scores, follow these steps:
1. Sign in to your ACT account: Go to the ACT website (act.org) and log in to your account. If you haven't created an account yet, you'll need to do that first using the same name and email address you used when you registered for the ACT.
2. Navigate to "Send Your Scores": Once you're logged in, find the "Send Your Scores" button or link. This will take you to a page where you can select the colleges you want to send your scores to.
3. Search for colleges: Use the search function to find the schools you're applying to. You can search by school name, state, or the school's ACT code. Each college may have a specific ACT code that you'll need to use when sending scores. You can typically find this code on the college's admissions website or by searching for "[college name] ACT code."
4. Select score report options: After you've added all the schools you'd like to send scores to, you'll need to choose which scores to send. You have the option to send all scores, only the most recent score, or only specific test scores. It's important to research each school's score choice policy, as some schools may require you to send all your test scores while others may be more flexible.
5. Review and pay: Before you submit your score request, double-check the schools you've selected and the corresponding scores you're sending. There will be a fee associated with sending your scores, depending on the number of schools you're sending them to and whether you're sending them as a part of your free score reports (available only within a limited time frame after taking the test). If you need to, you can pay online to complete the process.
6. Finalize your request: Once you've paid, you can submit your score request. It's essential to be aware of each college's application deadlines and make sure you send your scores ahead of time since it may take a few weeks for schools to receive them.
And that's it! Your ACT scores will be on their way to your chosen colleges. Good luck with your college applications!
