The final deadline to register is Friday, November 20.

Now that your fall testing is concluding, we know you and your students are excited to start receiving scores. As you may know, ACT recently launched a new online platform called MyACT that allows students to access their scores, register for future tests, and more.
Introduction to MyACT.org

MyACT.org is a tool that allows students to register, schedule, and pay for future ACT tests, explore ACT test prep products, and access and send their scores to colleges and institutions of their choice. MyACT.org also contains free college and career planning tools to help students navigate their next steps and provides insight to their interests and how they align to their future goals.
Accessing Scores in MyACT.org

Once the scoring process is completed, students will receive their scores in the mail, if they provided their correct mailing address during testing. Their scores will also be available in MyACT. Their mailed score report will contain a supplement providing them with information on how to create a MyACT account that will successfully link to their state testing scores, using their uniquely assigned ACT ID number included on their mailed report. We will include this supplement and a MyACT Quick Start Guide on your ACT State testing webpage, in the Interpretation section. Please share the information with your Director of Counseling. If your students have trouble creating or accessing their scores, or if they created an account without using their ACT ID number, please have the students contact ACT Customer Care at https://www.act.org/content/act/en/contact-act.html for assistance.
Please contact us if you have questions.

Sincerely,
ACT State Testing Team

Help Your Students Stand Out
 
ACT scores can help students stand out on college and scholarship applications. Encourage your students to take the test in February so they have everything they need to chase their dreams.
 

The deadline is Friday, January 15.

UPDATE: Feb 4, 2021 – At this time, the Office is unable to accept ACT Superscores for eligibility for state aid.  The reason for this is that the Office can only accept official Superscores calculated and published by ACT, and ACT has delayed the publication of ACT Superscores due to COVID-19.  To learn more about ACT’s release of Superscores, visit the ACT website.

Background

In fall 2019, ACT announced it would begin reporting Superscores in September 2020 for ACT test takers who have taken more than one administration of the ACT or have retaken subject sections of the ACT.  The IHL Board changed the IHL Admission Policy from using ACT Composite scores to ACT Superscores. Other Mississippi institutions followed suit. The Postsecondary Student Financial Assistance Board voted to also accept ACT Superscores for eligibility for state aid, beginning with first-time aid recipients during 2021-2022.  However, the Board stipulated that Superscores would only be accepted if calculated by ACT and published on the ACT Score Report.

What is ACT Superscoring?

ACT Superscoring takes the highest ACT subject test score (English, reading, math, and science) across all administrations, and recalculates a composite score based on the highest subtest scores:

Test Date English Math Reading Science Composite
February 17 18 19 21 19
April 19 19 20 22 20
June 19 18 22 22 20
Superscore 19 19 22 22 21
