Sending Your Scores

A score report (including your photo) was automatically sent to the high school you
reported when registration was completed for the test. Your school will use this information
for counseling, evaluating the effectiveness of instruction, and planning changes and
improvements in the curriculum.

At your direction, your scores from this test date are also being reported to the colleges shown.
(Be aware that when you send a report to a college that is part of a school system, the college
may share your score with other colleges in that system.) Institutions use your test scores along
with high school grades, academic preparation, out-of-class accomplishments, future plans,
and other factors to help identify applicants who can benefit most from their programs. In
addition, colleges can use results on the ACT to assist scholarship/loan agencies in identifying
qualified candidates, place students in first-year courses, and help students develop an
appropriate program of study.
If you listed a college code incorrectly or forgot to include one, don’t worry! You can still send
scores to other colleges. Visit www.act.org/the-act/scores to explore student resources or to
order additional score reports.
