Hey, everyone. I took the ACT a few years ago and I'm trying to locate those scores. Does anyone know if there's a way to retrieve them? If you've been through this process before, could you share how you did it?
Absolutely, it is indeed possible to retrieve old ACT scores. You can request old scores from ACT directly. However, keep in mind there could be a fee associated with it depending on how far back the test was taken.
To do this, you would log on to the ACT website, then navigate to the 'Your Scores' section. If your scores are there, you should be able to download a student score report free of charge.
If your scores are not there, due to them being older than five years, you may need to order an archived score report. There is a fee for this service. You would need to fill out the 'ACT testing history request form' and once ACT receives your form and fee, they should give you access to your archived scores.
If you run into any issues, reach out to ACT by phone or email, they're specifically there to assist with any administrative issues related to the ACT test. Be sure to be persistent, sometimes retrieving scores can be a bit of a process.
