I'm planning to take the ACT in July 2024. Does anyone know around when registration would open and any advice on how early to sign up?
Typically, registration for a specific ACT test date opens 2-3 months prior to the test date. So, for a July 2024 test, you'll likely be able to register in April or May 2024.
As for how early you should sign up, the earlier the better, especially if you have a specific testing center in mind. Seats can fill up quickly, especially at popular testing locations, so it's best to sign up as soon as possible once registration opens to secure your spot. The ACT also has a regular registration deadline and a late registration deadline (with an additional fee for late registrants), so registering early can save you money as well.
Remember that the ACT can be a challenging test, so make sure to give yourself plenty of time to prepare. There are many resources out there to help you study, including ACT prep books, online resources, and practice tests. Taking the time to prepare thoroughly can really boost your confidence on test day.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
