The ACT is a standardized test used for college admissions in the United States. The ACT test covers four academic skill areas: English, mathematics, reading, and scientific reasoning. It also offers an optional direct writing test. Many colleges in Utah are becoming test optional, however many colleges still require an ACT test score for merit/academic scholarships.

To complete your registration, you must provide a recent photo of yourself for identification and test security purposes. This photo will print on your ticket and on the score report that is automatically sent to your high school. ACT will retain the photo for a period of time consistent with active use of test scores and test security purposes.
Photo submission options include:
Uploading a photo from your computer
Uploading a photo using a mobile device
Submitting a printed photo
Your photo must be added by the photo upload deadline for your test date, or you registration will be cancelled, and you will NOT be admitted to test. You cannot print your ticket until the photo is added.
Tips:
Consider choosing a test date at least two (2) months ahead of the application deadline of all the colleges and scholarship agencies you might want to apply to. Scores for the ACT are normally reported within 2-8 weeks after the test date. If you take the ACT with writing, scores will be reported only after all of your scores are available, including writing, normally within 5-8 weeks after the test date.
Don’t go into the ACT without studying! There are many resources on the official ACT website that have free ACT testing resources from free practice tests and study guides to the free ACT official online practice test.
