Final ACT Testing Date for 2022-2023 | | | |
If you’re interested in taking the ACT test on July 15 – the final ACT testing date of the 2022-2023 school year – you must register by June 16. The good news is that VTEC can grant eligible Native students prepaid testing vouchers and free access to ACT’s proprietary online test-prep service. These benefits apply even for those who have already completed the ACT test previously; taking the test twice is a good way to maximize your scores. Experts recommend that students test once during their 11th grade year and again in the fall of their 12th grade year so that there is enough time to include test scores with their college applications. | | | |
If you’re interested in taking the ACT test this coming July or during next school year and to inquire about no-cost test registration and preparation, feel free to contact the NYCP Project Director, Dr. Drew Allmond, at drew.allmond@vtecinc.org.
