How to Send ACT Scores to a College

The ACT test is a standardized test utilized by colleges to determine admission and placement. As a student prepares for a college education, taking the ACT test completes an important step toward determining which college will eventually serve the needs of the student. As a student registers for the ACT test, the student can select up to four colleges to which to have test scores sent. After taking the ACT test, a student can send ACT scores to additional colleges by ordering their delivery through the ACT organization.
