By the Numbers
According to our registration data, approximately 236,000 students planned to sit for the test this weekend. Of those students, more than 36,000 registered to take the test with a fee waiver. This is our most up-to-date estimate of students tested. We report out official numbers of ACT test-takers annually by graduating class.
To-date, we have tested more than 2 million students since June 2020, as part of national test events and through state and district testing.
Score Release Window
Now that you’ve tested, we know your next logical question: When will my scores be available?
- Multiple choice scores are normally available two weeks after each national test date, but it can sometimes take up to eight weeks.
- Writing scores are normally available about two weeks after your multiple-choice scores.
The reporting timeframe for this test date is April 27 - June 11, meaning scores will begin to post to MyACT accounts on April 27. You can learn more about scores (including how to understand them) on our dedicated scores page.
Looking Ahead
Students still have two opportunities this school year to sit for a national test. Check out the dates and deadlines below to stay on top of your schedule.
