What is an ACT student Web account and why do I need one?

An ACT student Web account not only allows you to register online, but also lets you access a variety of ACT services, even if you register by mail. For example, you will need a student Web account to view your scores, and it's the fastest way to make changes to your registration before the deadline for your test date.

ACT encourages all students who are at least 13 years old to create a free student Web account. If you are younger than 13, your parents can create your account for you. You will be required to provide identifying information, including an email address, in order to create your account. Once you do, you will be able to do all of the following 24/7, anywhere you have Internet access.

All services ordered online must be paid for with a valid American Express, DISCOVER, MasterCard, or VISA card and you must be at least 13 years old to place an online order (if you are younger than 13, your parents can order for you).
