I didn't think you could, but http://www.actstudent.org/faq/answers/eligible.html shows that you can take it even if you have already graduated from high school.  I suppose that they won't say "no" to money (your fee).

is that on the old official test or on the new test. if it's the new test then it's about in the 62%. should be enough to get into most colleges unless you are looking for some upscale school with high entrance criteria or everybody wants to go to.\n\nif it's the old official test then you're full of ummmm crap and should definatly take it again :-)\n\nnot sure if they are using the new test as standard yet or not, so your choice.

You can register through http://www.actstudent.org/index.html.  They are offering a test this Saturday and you can probably register for standby option.

If you retake a class, as I understand it, the grade you get the second time around replaces your failing grade - schools may be able to see that you retook the class, but not what your original grade was.  A lot of people retake classes just because they aren't happy with a B!  \n\nYes, medical schools allow it as well as other health related fields.

Only if you have a high GPA, involved in school and the community (i.e. clubs, sports, volunteer work.) I suggest you study more and then retake it.

Well, what you need to check with the schools you want to go to.  Most schools are lienient with their ACT score acceptance, but since you scored a 23, then most state schools will be giving you scholarships to go there....if it is a private school then most likely the standard may be higher, but always check with those schools to see what thier acceptance scores are....But a 23 is really good considering the national average is like 18 or 20 or so to my knowledge.....Great job!  If you can, take it again in ur senior year and you should score higher - I did got a 23 the first time, then a 25 second time...

Normally scores are only available for up to five years, but you still might be able to obtain them. You will need to contact the ACT board in order to obtain your scores. I would recommend just retaking them because of your work experience over the years. I hope this answers your question.

Retaking the Test\nSAT Reasoning Test™\nYou may be wondering if you should take the test again, and whether your scores will change if you do so. Here are some guidelines that may help you decide:\n\nResearch shows that the average student who retests increases his or her combined critical reading and math scores by approximately 30 points. \nOverall, 55% of juniors taking the test improved their scores as seniors, 35% had their scores decrease, and 10% had no change. \n\nBASICALLY APPLY LIKE YOU DID LAST TIME.\nOn average, juniors repeating the SAT as seniors improved their verbal scores by about 12 points and their math scores by about 13 points. About 1 in 25 gained 100 or more points on verbal or math, and about 1 in 90 lost 100 or more points \nYour score report shows the percentage of students with the same verbal or math scores who scored higher, lower, and the same when they took the SAT again, as well as the average number of points gained or lost. Use this information when deciding whether or not to test again.

Most universities use the SAT. The ACT on the otherhand is sometimes very useful. I took both when I went through the application process even though I only needed the SAT for the schools I was applying for. As it turned out, The SAT got me in and the ACT let me CLEP out of classes.

it really just depends on your strengths and weaknesses. i'm very strong in english, reading, and science, but i'm terrible at math, so i prefer the ACT. but if you're equally good at reading and math, you should probably go with the SAT. for college, etc., the SAT takes the highest scores you've ever made in each section, and that's what colleges receive. so if you do great on verbal one time and do horrible on math, and you take it again and bomb verbal and do better on math, colleges get your highest ever verbal score, and your highest ever math score. for the ACT, it's your highest composite (total) score, so that kind of sucks. i suggest taking both several times and sending your highest score to colleges. i hope this helps.

The SAT is basically a college entrance exam.  I think the majority of colleges accept the SAT, but I know that there are many (especially in the Midwest) that prefer the ACT.  The websites below will give you all the info about what you need to do and how to register for the exam.

I never took either one. Have you transferred your credits from your Jr. college? This is what I did and I didn't need the tests. I have heard the SAT is easier. Most colleges should be able to set you up with the schedule, or I am sure there is something on line. Check the web site. There should be testing dates and locations there.\nBest wishes going back to school. I have started this too, but I am a few years older than you. But It Is better to do it while you are younger!

I concur. Also with the ACT, but I'm starting to believe more in it now since I got a very high score, higher than what my grades would put me as, showing I am unmotivated :D I got suckered into an AP exam and I guess it's okay if you want to pay 80$ and die slowly yet surely when the questions keep coming and coming... I liked the SAT, though, because it was based more on grammar and literature, though I don't know a use for it.

Yes you can, but you will also need to take the SAT's and provide your scores to the college of your choice.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAT\n\nKõikke head.

The ACT is not "easier" because scores are still distributed and evaluated based on percentiles (usually adjusted yearly) -- the only way it could be "easier" is if less talented people took it but it was still given equal weight with the SAT. Since this obviously isn't the case you should take both and if you bomb one, submit only your score for the test you do well on. The tests -are- different and some do better on one than the other. So take the ACT and see how you do.
