How to Access Your ACT Scores
With a MyACT account, students can access their ACT scores online, and send them directly to colleges. Students can also register for any ACT and print their ACT Admission Ticket. Use a password that can be easily remembered, as this account will be used to access students’ ACT scores throughout their time at ETHS.
According to ACT, if you set up your MyACT account as part of the pretest instructions before the official start of the exam and entered the student code listed on your test ticket, you will receive an email from ACT when your scores are available.
If you did not set up your MyACT account during the pretest instructions, you will need to call ACT Student Services Hotline at 319-337-1270 with questions about how to access score reports.

While the courses students take and the grades students receive are generally the most important criteria for college admission, the test results of the ACT® (administered by ACT, Inc.) or the SAT (administered by College Board) are also considered. Refer to the admission guidelines for each college or university for details.
ETHS is a testing center for the ACT and SAT, and both tests are offered on certain Saturdays throughout the year. This schedule allows students to repeat either or both tests in their junior or senior year, if necessary.
