When is the ACT test usually offered?

Hi everyone, I am considering taking the ACT, but I'm not sure when it's generally offered. Can someone give me an idea of the typical schedule for the ACT test? Thanks a lot!

Certainly! The ACT is administered seven times a year in the United States, usually on Saturdays. Here's a rough outline of when the tests are typically offered:

1. February: The first testing date of the year usually occurs in early February.

2. April: The second testing date takes place in mid-April.

3. June: The third ACT test is typically held in early June.

4. July: A fourth testing date is scheduled for mid-July, but it's not available in some states, such as New York and California.

5. September: The fifth ACT testing date is in mid-September.

6. October: The sixth ACT test is generally held in late October.

7. December: The last test of the year typically takes place in early December.

Keep in mind that these are just general guidelines, and specific dates might vary slightly from year to year, so you should always check the official ACT website for the latest information on test dates and registration deadlines. Additionally, don't forget to account for your preparation time, as starting early will give you more opportunities to retake the test if needed.

Good luck with your preparation and the ACT test!
