<p>I have a question. I've been researching but I have no idea what the protocol is for sending my October ACT scores to colleges for Early Decision. Do I write on my common app that I have taken the test in October and send them once they get here? Or what do I do? Please help.</p>
<p>Since it is early decison and thus you can be applying only to one school for it you should check the particular college’s actual rules, but generally you need to order the ACT to send an official score either as part of listing the college in the test application as a free send or ordering it sent as soon as it has been released; self-reporting scores on common app does not meet requirement for sending official score.</p>
