For the thousands of students who took the ACT on October 23rd, scores are available on the ACT website beginning today.
If you took the ACT Plus Writing, you can expect the score on the writing section to appear about two weeks from now. Realize that low scores don't need to be the end of your college dreams. There are now over 800 test-optional colleges, and even at schools that require the SAT or ACT, the exam is just one part of the application. College admissions officers will also be impressed by a strong academic record, good letters of recommendation, meaningful extracurricular activities, and a winning application essay.
