September vs. October ACT??? (Rising Senior)

<p>I am going to be a senior and am wondering if it would be better to take the ACT in September or October? If I take it in October, will that be too late to apply ED? Will taking the ACT in October be too late for regular admission? I plan to apply to colleges in the Midwest if that helps. Thanks!</p>

<p>Take it when you’re ready. Know that the ACT has sped up in their grading process (June ACT scores were first released after only 9 days), but it’s best to check the EA/ED school’s deadlines. The October test will not be too late for regular admissions deadlines (which are typically around Jan. 1st). </p>

<p>Thank you so much!</p>
