Top 10 ACT Registration FAQs

How many greenbacks is the ACT test going to set you back when you register for the ACT? Here's the breakdown:

  • Basic ACT registration fee is $35, which includes score reporting to four colleges, your high school and you.
  • Basic ACT registration plus Writing fee is $50.50, which includes everything the Basic fee does, but includes the fee for the optional Writing Test (essay).
  • 5th and 6th college choice fee is $11 for each school.
  • Late registration fee is $22.
  • Standby testing on test day fee is $43 in addition to the Basic fee, if you missed registration for some reason and would like to take the test as a walk-in.
  • Test date change fee is $21.
  • Test location change fee is $21
  • Test Information Release Service is $19.

That's not too bad, considering the money you could make with an excellent ACT score.
