<p>I'm hoping to apply very soon after I take the ACT test this Saturday. But I'm not too confident about taking it since it's my first time. So is there a way I can take it again before January? I checked and there's another ACT test on December 8th. If I take it again December 8th with writing section (if it's possible), will the colleges received the scores on time before the regular deadline?</p>
<p>RealM, most schools will post on their websites unders Standardized Tests which is the last test they'll accept. If you can't find it, e-mail or call the schools and ask. You're not the first person to ask and you won't be the last. They won't hold it against you for asking - in fact, it shows maturity to ask things that you need to know of people that you're a bit intimidated by.</p>
