- How Students Obtain/Access Their Scores: Juniors who take the Wisconsin ACT plus Writing test typically receive their score reports from ACT 6-8 weeks after state testing is completed; students who tested with accommodations may receive their scores later than this. Score reports are mailed to the home address that the student bubbled on his/her answer sheet. ACT scores may be accessed online as follows:
- Once a student creates an ACT account or signed in with their user ID and password (this will be sent to their personal e-mail), they can view the scores via the "Your Test Dates & Scores" tab on the left margin. Submit or review where scores were sent here. If a student has any further questions (such as those who have taken the ACT prior to Junior year), please meet with a school counselor.
- Go to the ACT Student Website and find in the upper right corner the tab "Sign In." If you have never created an account before, this will be your first step. Create an account with your Student ID number (provided on your ACT Score report that was mailed to your address after the ACT) and register an e-mail account that is NOT a school e-mail address. Two questions will be asked before you can sign in: Have you registered to take the ACT? (If you have not taken the ACT prior to testing at RAHS, mark NO) and Have you taken the ACT test? (Mark Yes).
- Since the 2014-2015 school year, all Wisconsin high schools are required to administer the ACT® Plus Writing test to junior students during Semester 2. Visit the DPI website for additional information. Junior students wishing to take an additional ACT test(s) should register for the exam online at www.actstudent.org.
