MyACT has replaced Student Web Services as the new online registration system for the ACT ® test. Examinees use MyACT to register and complete non-test information, view and send scores, order test prep, and more!
Questions are presented to the examinee during the account registration process to help them link information from our previous registration system to MyACT. If an examinee has tested before and viewed scores online, going through this initial account migration process will assist in connecting score data from previous test events to MyACT.
Examinees have the option to provide information through common demographics like age, race, gender, language, and education level. ACT collects and reports this information in accordance with reporting guidelines issued by the US Department of Education. These guidelines do not collect ethnic background at a more detailed level. This information will be released to the colleges that receive your scores only if they request it. This section will also provide you with the option to opt-in to the Educational Opportunity Service (EOS).
*State and District testing: State and district contract testing (weekday/in-school testing) is funded by a state education agency, district, or educational organization. The organization funding the test will receive student data even if the student does not opt into the Educational Opportunity Service (EOS).

Examinees are given the opportunity to optionally respond to three separate inventories related to their interests, abilities, and values. Those questions and the available response options related to the questions are available below.
The things examinees like to do now can give them clues to occupations they might like in the future. This Inventory can help them discover their interests and find occupations they may want to explore.
This Inventory consists of 72 questions. Examinees should not consider their ability to do the activity, only their interest in it. They are encouraged to answer like or dislike as often as possible.
The available selections are:
Dislike - I would dislike doing this activity
Indifferent - I don't care one way or the other
Like - I would like doing this activity
This Inventory can help examinees see how their abilities relate to occupations. The ratings on 18 abilities will be used to suggest occupations they may want to explore. These suggestions will only be as good as the ratings provided. Examinees are asked to consider their level of ability, not how much they would like doing it and then are asked to estimate their ability level compared to their peers. Examinees are reminded to reconsider their choices if they rate themselves "average" on everything. Few people are that average.
The available selections are:
High - Upper 10%
Above Average - Upper 25%
Average - Middle 50%
Below Average - Lower 25%
Low - Lower 10%
