<p>How can I do a rush delivery for the December 2010 act test and will they get in before the January 1 deadline? Or am I basically screwed?</p>
<p>Check what the colleges say for testing. Vast majority accept Dec ACT test as long as you order sent regular delivery either as one of your designating free sends or as soon as it comes out; you just have to order it sent before deadline and it can arrive after (in fact many of those colleges even accept Jan SATs). However, there are a small number that actually want scores in their hands by deadline date and the only way to possibly accomplish that is to send rush.</p>
<p>How would I go about checking</p>
<p>The ones that actually require everything in their hands usually make that very clear on their sites often in the deadlines section. Mainly check each college to see if it just requires things to be sent by deadline, in which case you are fine ordering it sent shortly before then. You can also check to see if the college accepts Jan SAT tests, in which case it means your fine even if you send shortly after the deadline.</p>
