ACT SCORE Reports
Send ACT Scores After You Test
ACT automatically sends your scores to the high school and colleges you selected when you registered.
If your plans change, you can send your scores to additional colleges or scholarship agencies at any time. Requests are processed after your test is scored and all results for your test option are available. Once ready, score reports are usually sent the same day.
What Scores Can Be Sent
Superscore
ACT automatically calculates a Superscore for students who have tested more than once since September 2016. This Superscore averages your highest section scores across all test dates. Many colleges accept Superscores, and you can choose to send your Superscore to the college of your choice. Learn more about the Superscore.
Scores from a Single Test
Want to make sure a college has a specific score or reporting category? You can still send scores from an individual test event.
Who Can Receive Your Scores
Colleges & Scholarship Agencies
Send scores from test events September 2011 to current, plus your Superscore. Scores are delivered to valid college code recipients. Note: writing scores prior to September 2016 are unavailable.
High Schools
Scores from the past 5 school years can be sent to a high school as an additional score report, including your Superscore if eligible.

- Use valid ACT college codes only — reports can only go to the office designated by the college or agency.
- The archive fee is nonrefundable and covers the cost of maintaining data.
- For Superscores: if section scores are tied, the most recent is used.
