    Pre-testing Activities:

    When students take the ACT, they are asked to complete the Non-Testing portion prior to test day. This is done by creating an online MyACT account. Whether completing the information for the first time, or updating (for those who already have a MyACT account), completing the non-testing portion allows examinees to:

    • Receive their scores 11-14 days faster than waiting for paper scores to be mailed.

    • Select up to four FREE score recipients

    • Gain opportunities for scholarships they may not be aware of if they choose to participate in ACT’s Educational Opportunity Service

    • Utilize resources for college and career planning

    Students at LHS will set up their MyACT accounts and complete the non-testing portion of the ACT at school during academic lab on Wednesday, March 15th.  This process requires a unique code assigned to each individual student. When students arrive at their academic lab homeroom on Wednesday, March 15th, they will receive a set of instructions with their unique code. 

    For a complete list of the questions asked and to view the information gathered by ACT during this process, please refer to this document published by ACT.  If at any time a student doesn’t know an answer or feels uncomfortable providing ACT with the requested information, they are free to skip the question.

    How do I get my score?

    • Create your online MyACT account to be able to access your scores online. If this was not done at school on 3/15, students must complete this on their own time.

    • Scores will be mailed home by ACT to students within 3-8 weeks after testing. Students do not all get their scores at the same time, so please be patient. If after 8 weeks, you have not received your scores, you should contact ACT. 

    • Instruction on how to link your ACT scores.
