Hello! Registering for the ACT test can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but don't worry. I'll break it down for you.

1. Opening an Account: You'll first need to go to the ACT website and create an account. Click on the "Register" button on the homepage to begin.

2. Selecting the Test: The next step involves selecting which ACT test you want to take – the ACT without writing or the ACT with writing. Remember the decision should be based on the requirements of the colleges you're applying to.

3. Choosing a Test Date & Center: After selecting the test type, choose a test date and center that's most convenient for you. Availability might vary, especially with the ongoing pandemic, so make sure to check for updates regularly.

4. Filling Out Personal Details: You will be asked to fill out some personal details like your high school courses, grades, and extracurricular activities. Although this part is optional, it's strongly recommended since this information is used for research and can help the ACT connect you with potential colleges and scholarship opportunities.

5. Uploading a Photo: A visible, clear, headshot photo has to be uploaded. You'll find specific guidelines for this on the ACT website.

6. Paying the Registration Fee: The last step is to pay the registration fee. As of 2024, the cost is $60 for the ACT without writing and $85 for the ACT with writing. Payment can be done through credit card. Fee waivers are available for students who qualify.

During the process, you'll need a few key items: your high school course details, a headshot photo for the test admission ticket, a credit card for payment, and, if you're applying for accommodations, the necessary documentation for that.

All the best with your ACT registration. Make sure you leave enough time to prepare before your test date. You've got this!
