Scheduling ACT Test Dates

Candidates who are planning to take the ACT test must ensure that they schedule the dates in advance. This will allow them enough time for exam preparation.

One of the most important things to consider before scheduling for the ACT exam is the admission deadlines of colleges or universities. Candidates should schedule the ACT exam as per the score release date and the university's admission deadline.  This is because most universities ask for ACT scores during the admissions process.

Points to Remember While Choosing the ACT Test Date

A study abroad application requires extensive planning. In a similar vein, you should meticulously organise every move you make when taking the ACT exam to ensure that everything is ready when you start the university application process. While choosing your ACT test date, keep the following in mind:

• Consider scheduling the ACT after passing the 10th grade, which introduces you to fundamentals like geometry and algebra among several other things that are covered on the ACT syllabus. However, if you want to take the test before the 10th grade, you can surely do so only for practice.

• You must be keenly aware of your university's admissions requirements and application deadlines before registering. Pick a test day at least two to three months well before the application deadline. After two to eight weeks of the test, you will have your ACT report card in your hands.

• At least a year before the ACT registration deadline, start studying for the exam.

• The test can be taken a maximum of 12 times, but it is advised that you do not take it more than three times.

Which Month is Best for ACT?

Students get seven ACT test dates in a calendar year. They can take tests on any of these dates. For admission, it does not matter which test date the student has chosen. The university or college will accept the ACT test scores from all the test dates. 

However, it is also important to select a test date that gives the student ample time to prepare without clashing with academic commitments. If the student is taking the ACT test for the first time, the best time to take the test is in the fall of their senior year. This gives them plenty of time to prepare and plan before the test. 

Now, if a student wants to again take the ACT exam to improve their scores or for any other reason then they can definitely take it in the autumn or spring of their junior year. Students should ensure that they have at least three months in hand to prepare for the ACT exam.
