Junior ACT Scores

I have heard from a few students that some of your ACT scores have been released onto the MyACT portal!  I know that this is really exciting when your scores get posted and really frustrating if your scores are still not posted.  A few things to remember... 

- ACT releases scores over a series of weeks so just because your score isn't there yet doesn't mean that there is an issue with your test or your score.

- There will eventually be a paper score report as well, but I don't know when that will be sent out.  It is definitely going to be on your MyACT portal first.

- If you inadvertently made a 2nd ACT account when you already had an account from a previous test, you will need to call ACT to get your two accounts linked together.

- If, in spite of the instructions and reminders, you didn't sign up for a MyACT account prior to or immediately following your test, the way I understand it is that you should still be able to create an account and it will link to your test scores.  If it doesn't get linked to your scores or if you had created an account and now can't access it, you will have to call ACT directly.

- If you somehow forgot to select which colleges you wanted to have your 4 free scores sent, I heard today that the MyACT page may be allowing students to still go back in and put your 4 colleges... this is honestly a surprise and a great opportunity if you had neglected to do so when you signed up for your account so don't miss out on that chance.

We have not seen or received scores yet so I am anxious to hear how you did and I hope you will let me know.  Congratulations to all of you who did well!  I know that is a huge weight off your shoulders if you can now be done with testing.

And then on a separate note, just a final reminder that tomorrow at 12:30 is the panel conversation with some of our "senior survivors" for the College Applications: Chaos or Achievement workshop session.  9-11th grade students and parents are all invited to join in on the zoom conversation and the zoom link is on the Counselor Website - www.wkhscounselors.com - so please join us tomorrow!
