Hey guys, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with the test scheduling, can anyone break down the ACT deadline for 2024? I don't want to miss any important test dates!
Sure, I'd be happy to help you with this! The ACT is typically administered seven times a year: in February, April, June, July, September, October, and December.
While exact dates can change, here are the general timelines you could expect in 2024:
- The February ACT usually happens in the second week of February, with the registration deadline about five weeks before the test date.
- The April ACT often happens in the second week of April, with the registration deadline approximately five weeks prior.
- The June ACT usually occurs in the second week of June, with the registration deadline about five weeks ahead.
- The July ACT typically happens in the third week of July, with the registration deadline around five weeks before.
- The September ACT typically takes place in the second week of September, with the registration deadline about five weeks prior.
- The October ACT often occurs in the second to last week of October, with the registration deadline around five weeks ahead.
- Finally, the December ACT usually happens in the second week of December, with the registration deadline about five weeks before.
Remember these are rough estimations, and you should always confirm the exact dates on the official ACT webpage. It's always a good idea to register as early as possible to secure your preferred test location.
If you happen to miss a registration deadline, the ACT does have a late registration period that extends about two weeks past the normal deadline, but registering during this period incurs an additional fee.
I hope this gives you a rough idea about the ACT scheduling for 2024!
