ACT Registration deadline: When is it?

I'm trying to plan out when to take my ACT Test, but I'm not sure about the registration deadlines. Could anyone let me know how far in advance I should register for the test?

You should aim to register for the ACT as soon as possible, ideally at least two months before your preferred test date. This would allow you ample time to prepare and secure your desired testing location, as some test centers may fill up quickly.

Here's a general timeline to keep in mind: the regular registration deadline is roughly a month before your test date. After this date, a late fee will be assessed for an additional two-week period. Thereafter, registration is closed.

For example, if your ACT test is in April, the regular registration deadline would likely fall in early March, with the late registration period extending until mid-March.

Just remember, specific deadlines vary by test date so it's best to refer to the ACT official website for exact dates. Also, consider how much preparation time you need and plan accordingly when deciding on a test date. It's more beneficial to leave yourself plenty of time to study and prepare rather than rushing to meet a fast-approaching deadline.
