ACT Test Cost?

I'm planning to take the ACT test, but I'm not sure how much it costs. Can someone please let me know the current cost for the ACT?

The costs for the ACT test vary depending on whether you choose to take the test with or without the optional writing section. As of the 2024-2025 academic year, the fees for the ACT test are as follows:

- ACT (No Writing): $55.50

- ACT (With Writing): $70.25

These fees cover the test registration and sending your scores to up to four colleges. If you need to send your scores to additional schools, there is a charge of $18.50 per additional score report.

Keep in mind that there may also be other fees, such as late registration fees ($38), change fees ($44), and standby testing fees ($68), so it's a good idea to plan and register for the test early to avoid these costs. Additionally, fee waivers are available for eligible students who cannot afford to pay the registration fee. To obtain a fee waiver, you should reach out to your high school counselor for more information and assistance in the process.
