Students “own” their ACT scores and (with one exception) may direct the ACT to delete their scores for a particular test date from ACT records.
EXCEPTION: Students may not delete scores used to document participation in State
and District Testing. These testing opportunities are often provided to students at NO COST by the students’ school.
To delete your scores for a particular test date, you must submit a written request to the ACT. It is a three-step process.
Students must call ACT to obtain the form, which they then need to complete and mail back to ACT. Call (319) 337-1270 and follow the prompts until you reach the scoring & reporting information.
Step #1
Contact ACT to obtain the form, which you will then need to complete and return to ACT by mail. Call (319) 337-1270 and follow the prompts until you reach the scoring & reporting information.
Step #2
Complete and return the form to the ACT. Then the ACT will permanently remove your record for that test date from their files. All scores from that test date will be deleted.
Step #3
Log in to your ACT account and confirm that scores for that test date no longer appear.
