The ACT's Fall Testing Opportunities

Five new test dates for fall 2020

ACT UPDATE: On Monday, July 27 ACT attempted a large-scale registration to accommodate the thousands of students who have been impacted by test site cancellations resulting from the covid pandemic. Due to an unprecedented registration demand, the ACT registration site became overwhelmed and was thus forced to close before many students were able to successfully register.

The current plan is to open MyACT for 2020-2021 test registration on Monday, August 3 at 10am CT, 11am EST

PRIOR:

In an unprecedented move, ACT has announced the availability of three additional test dates for a total of eight possible test dates in fall of 2020. Recognizing the recent impacts on testing opportunities as a result of the current Covid-19 crisis, the new testing schedule offers students one additional new test date in September and two in October.

In an effort to provide additional access to testing, Sunday testing will now be available to all ACT test takers. Previously, Sunday testing had been reserved for students unable to take part in Saturday testing for reasons of religious observance.

The ACT testing schedule for the remainder of 2020 looks like this, with registration opening in July;

September:

Saturday, September 12
Sunday, September 13
Saturday, September 19 (new)

October:

Saturday, October 10 (new)
Saturday, October 17 (new)
Saturday, October 24
Sunday, October 25
