Hi everyone! I'm just about ready to take that ACT test but I am really confused about how to get the ACT ticket. Could anyone explain it to me, please?
Sure, I'd be happy to help! The procedure to get your ACT test ticket is integrated in the registration process.
You start the process by creating or logging into your ACT student account on the ACT's official website. After you select "Register Now," you'll be taken through the steps of choosing a test date, test center, and test type (with writing or not), and providing other information.
In terms of payment, you'll need to pay the registration fees online upon completion of your registration. As of now, the fee is $68 for the ACT without Writing and $93 for the ACT with Writing.
Your test ticket, which is also your admission ticket, will be available online in your ACT student account. You should see a "Print Ticket" button on your test dates page. Make sure to print out this ticket and bring it with you on test day. It's very important to have this, as it is what will grant you entrance into the test center.
Remember, the ticket includes vital information like your test center address and reporting time, your photo, and the codes of the colleges you wish to send your scores to, so it's necessary to bring it with you on test day.
Also, don't forget that you need to bring an acceptable, current photo ID along with your ACT ticket. Please check the ACT's rules regarding acceptable forms of identification.
Good luck with your ACT! Let us know if you have any other questions.
