Importance of creating a MyACT Account:

• Faster Viewing of Scores
  • If you have a MyACT account that is set up or connected to your State ACT Student Code, you will receive a notification when your score is released from ACT.  If you do not set up a MyACT account, you will NOT receive your scores in the mail. 
• Send your scores to 4 Colleges for Free
  • The State ACT allows you to send your scores to 4 colleges for free.  You do this through your MyACT Account.
• Use the Account in the Future for National ACT Exam Registration
  • Saves time in the future.
  • Use this account for registering for a National ACT Exam and all you have to do is recheck your information and sign up for the Saturday Exam. 
• ACT will create a SUPERSCORE for colleges. This is very important for scholarships and admittance. 

Who is this for?

• All Students who are taking the In School State ACT (Juniors or Seniors) are expected to complete the MyACT Account with the Student Code for the State ACT Provided to you.
• The instructions will cover:
  • Students who have a previous online account and need to update it to MyACT
  • Students who have ACT scores but do not have a MyACT account
  • Students who have forgotten their User ID and/or Password for MyACT
  • Students who have NEVER taken the ACT before and need to create a MyACT account
