<p>I'm unfamiliar with the ACT test and have not prepared for it at all. I already took the SAT and did reasonably well on it to the point where there is really no pressure for me to get an amazing score tomorrow. </p>
<p>Anyway, I just read that ACT sends your scores to your school guidance counselor and any colleges you indicate...but you yourself did not directly get your scores, you must see your guidance counselor first...am I right in understanding this? </p>
<p>But I also read you can get around this by just leaving your high school code blank. Is that true? If it is, is there any particular reason for me to not do this??</p>
<p>THanks.</p>
<p>The ACT reconfigured their website towards the end of summer so that students can access their scores by web as soon as they come out. You no longer have to worry about not being the first one to receive your scores as long as you create an account and register for the test online.</p>
<p>It has been ages since you had to get your scores from your guidance counselor. Now scores get mailed to you directly; this happens at the same time any high school or college reports you requested go out. In addition, you can see your scores online as soon as they are available, before they come in the mail. I don't think you have to register online to get your scores there, but I may be wrong since there are some changes this year.</p>
<p>By the way, the September test didn't even ask for a high school code. I don't remember if the June test did, but both of the scores were mailed to me directly.</p>
<p>They do always ask you for your high school when you register--maybe you missed it. Then they ask if you want a report to go to that school or not.</p>
<p>If you weren't registering for the first time for September, it might've skipped the high school question because you already answered it.</p>
