Retest Restrictions
While you can take the ACT as often as you wish, there are some restrictions on when you can retest and receive test scores.
- You may not receive scores from more than one test date per national or international administration (Saturday, non-Saturday, or rescheduled test date arranged by ACT). If you are admitted and allowed to test, we will report only the scores from your first administration. The second set of scores will be cancelled without refund.
- You may not receive scores from more than one test date per state administration (initial or makeup), if your state participates in ACT State Testing. If you are allowed to test more than once, we will report only the scores from your first test administration.
- If you test through another type of testing such as special or residual testing, you must wait a minimum of 60 days between retests through that kind of testing. If you are allowed to test without waiting 60 days, your second set of scores will be cancelled without refund.
