Hi, quick question: I took the ACT a while ago and now I need to obtain those scores for college applications. Does anyone know the procedure for getting old ACT scores? Thanks!
4 months agoTo obtain your old ACT scores, you can follow these steps:
1. Visit the ACT website: Head over to the official ACT website (act.org) and click on "Sign In" at the top right corner of the page.
2. Log in or create an account: If you have an existing ACT account, log in using your credentials. If you don't have an account or don't remember the login details, create a new account using the email address you used when registering for the test.
3. Access your scores: Once you're logged in, click on "Your Test Dates and Scores" in your account dashboard. Here, you'll see a list of your previous test dates. Click on the relevant date to view the scores for that test.
4. Order archived scores: If your scores are older than a certain date (usually 2-4 years, depending on the ACT's guidelines), they may not be readily available online and will need to be ordered as archived scores. To order archived scores, you'll have to submit a request either through your online ACT account or by completing the "ACT Archived Score Report Order Form" available on the ACT website. You may need to provide additional information, like your ACT ID, test date, and possibly the approximate range of dates when you took the test. There is a fee associated with obtaining archived scores, which you can pay online or by mail.
5. Wait for processing: Allow some processing time based on the method you choose. Requested scores will be sent to you or directly to the colleges/institutions you designate. The processing time may depend on the volume of requests and whether you have requested expedited processing.
It's important to start this process early, as college application deadlines can be strict and obtaining archived scores might take some time. Good luck with your college applications!
