<p>Taking the october 23 ACT would be too late if I am applying for Early Decision right? If so, would my best shot be at trying to take stand-by testing on the september date?</p>
<p>Probably.
Depends on what colleges you are going to apply to. Some colleges require their applications be turned in around Mid-October, while say November, and December.</p>
<p>Be sure to check the colleges you are applying to for dates on early decision. Remember ACT scores are sent out to colleges within 2-3 weeks, so you must factor that time in too.</p>
<p>Yea the college that I’m applying to ED’s date is Nov 1.</p>
<p>^most colleges will say on their website what the latest date for each testing is.</p>
