Score Reporting Timeline and Details Score Reporting Timeline and Details

Scores from the spring ACT and PreACT tests will be reported within approximately five to eight weeks after testing. They will be released on a rolling basis, as they become ready.


Details regarding how score reports will be received by schools and students are below.

This table shows how score reports will be received by schools and students. For the ACT with Writing (11th grade), schools will be able to access scores via the online reporting system, and reports will be mailed to schools. Students will be able to access their scores via their MyACT accounts. For the PreACT assessments (9th and 10th grades), score reports will not be mailed to schools, but they will be available in ACT's online reporting system. Students in grades 9 and 10 will not be able to access PreACT scores via a MyACT account; therefore, schools will print and distribute score reports when they become available.

*11th grade students were guided through the set-up of their MyACT accounts during the digital readiness check that occurred on April 3. Any 11th grade student who took the ACT with Writing during the spring 2025 administration and does not currently have a MyACT account can follow the instructions in the section below to create an account and see their scores.
