How Accurate Are These Future ACT Test Dates?

It is expected that the ACT testing dates as well as deadlines for registration for the upcoming years are pretty accurate, since there’s not much variance between years. The dates for release of scores for all years aren’t as predicable, but the scores should be released within a week from the scheduled release dates for the scores.

Be aware that not all students get your multiple-choice score at same time..

How to Use These ACT Test Date Projections

The majority of the future ACT dates listed in this article should be accurate. If you are able to pinpoint the dates of the year and month you would like to test, make sure to determine if the test date falls on the same date like prom or your birthday.

In essence the charts make it simple to determine the likelihood of conflicts. If one of the dates for testing aren’t in sync, they’ll likely fall exactly one week later or earlier.

Be aware that there’s some possibility of error, and they are only projections. You can make your ACT schedule with our projections, however be sure to check back within one year of the test for confirmed dates. The dates listed above will give you an indication of when the next ACTs will be held.
