Adults and GED holders can sit the ACT. Many colleges still want a recent Composite if you have little college credit. Confirm the campus—not a forum post.
When to sit
The application still lists a test, or a scholarship grid does, and you are under the credit minimum. Validity: how long scores are valid.
The bottom line
Read the adult or GED admit checklist. Sit only if that campus still asks for a number.
Start practicing
Start with a free diagnostic, then drill your weak spots with 15-question quizzes and track how you're doing across Reading, English, and Math. Compare plans whenever you're ready to go further.
