    Score Reports

    _________________________________________________________________________________________

    • Check http://www.actstudent.org/ to find out when early scores will be posted after your test date. There is an $8.00 fee each time a set of scores is viewed during the early scores period.
    • Score reports are normally mailed within 4-7 weeks after the test date. If you take ACT Plus Writing, your report will be mailed when all your scores, including Wirting, are available.

    IMPORTANT: If you need to request test accommodations or extended-time testing, or plan to pay with a fee waiver, state voucher, or check, you must register by paper folder, not online.
