Five new test dates for fall 2020
ACT UPDATE: On Monday, July 27 ACT attempted a large-scale registration to accommodate the thousands of students who have been impacted by test site cancellations resulting from the covid pandemic. Due to an unprecedented registration demand, the ACT registration site became overwhelmed and was thus forced to close before many students were able to successfully register.
The current plan is to open MyACT for 2020-2021 test registration on Monday, August 3 at 10am CT, 11am EST
PRIOR:
In an unprecedented move,
ACT
has
announced
the availability of
three additional test dates
for a total of eight possible test dates in fall of 2020. Recognizing the recent impacts on testing opportunities as a result of the current Covid-19 crisis, the new testing schedule offers students
one additional new test date in September
and
two in October.
In an effort to provide additional access to testing,
Sunday testing
will now be available to
all
ACT test takers. Previously, Sunday testing had been reserved for students unable to take part in Saturday testing for reasons of religious observance.

looks like this, with registration opening in July;
September:
- Saturday, September 12
