Register by May 5 for the ACT® test on June 10. Sophomores & their families should research the ACT and start making decisions about when to take it. Juniors should be taking the ACT again to increase their score. Students who test in June can get a copy of their answers and the answer key with their Test Information Release (TIR).
June is one of only three times per year when your students can purchase a copy of their test form questions, their answers, and the answer key. If you think your students might take the ACT more than once, June is the chance to include their TIR with registration. The cost is $32 if the order is placed before the test begins.
