ACT offers a Sunday (or other alternate) date if Saturday testing conflicts with your documented religious observance. You request it during registration; it is not a makeup for a sports tournament. Centers that host Sunday testers are fewer, so register early.
Who qualifies
Students whose religious observance prevents Saturday testing. School-day testers follow the school's calendar, not this request. Sports, SAT overlap, and family travel are not religious exemptions—move the Saturday date instead: change your registration.
How to request it
Start a normal registration, then choose the alternate / non-Saturday option when MyACT offers it. You will usually upload or mail a letter from a religious official. Submit before the regular deadline; late files can bounce you to the next cycle.
What to expect on Sunday
Same enhanced test: English 50/35, Math 45/50, Reading 36/40, optional Science and Writing. Same calculator and ID rules. The room may be smaller. Bring the same bag: what to bring.
If Sunday is not offered near you
You may have to travel. Check the center list before you pay. If no Sunday seat exists, look at a later Saturday that does not fall on the observance, or a school-day administration if your district runs one: school-day vs Saturday.
The bottom line
Sunday testing is a religious accommodation, requested in registration, hosted at fewer centers. It is the same exam. It is not a general makeup date.
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.
