If paperwork for scholarship is due in November or December, would I still be able to take the December ACT and send that score to replace my current score? I really want to improve my score.
Check each college. Most list the last SAT or ACT date they will accept for each application deadline.
Typical or not does not matter. What matter is whether the school(s) you are applying to accept late score or not. Check with each school you are going to apply.
Alabama’s scholarship deadline is Dec 15th…BUT, it will accept a Dec ACT and SAT score that you’d have sent right away…either thru free score choice, or paying to have sent right away.
