ACT Residual

The ACT Residual testing year will end on Monday, September 30, 2019. NO ACT Residual testing will occur during the month of October. The new ACT Residual testing cycle will begin mid-November and will run until September 30, 2020.

We offer both the ACT National and the ACT Residual. ACT Residual testing at ASU is used to help determine eligibility for undergraduate admission as well as admission to the W.P. Carey School of Business. Unlike the ACT National test, ACT Residual test scores are valid only at ASU. Registration is limited to prospective students actively applying to ASU or admitted ASU students. NOTE: The ACT Residual exam may NOT be used by high school students to satisfy their AIMS test requirement. These scores are ONLY valid at ASU and cannot be used for any other purpose than admission to ASU.
