Students who want to take the ACT in February, either for the first time or to improve their score, have until early January to register.

The regular registration deadline is Friday, January 9 for the February 14 ACT test.

After January 9, students can register for the February test up until January 23 but will have to pay a late fee with their registration.

Students can sign up to receive text or email reminders about the registration deadlines.

While not all postsecondary institutions require the ACT or SAT for admission, some scholarships do require a minimum ACT or SAT score.
