When and where can students in Saudi Arabia take the ACT?

If you’re in Saudi Arabia and planning to take the ACT, you’re in luck: the test makes a few appearances throughout the year, just like a blockbuster movie franchise. The ACT typically offers international test dates in February, April, June, September, October, and December. Think of these as your six golden tickets to show what you’ve got. The catch? Spots fill up fast, so waiting until the last minute is like trying to book a front-row seat on opening night—don’t do it.

As for locations, the ACT is offered in major Saudi cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dhahran at authorized test centers, usually international schools or educational organizations. The best move? Check the official ACT website for the most up-to-date list of centers, since they sometimes change. Once you’ve got your location, plan ahead for traffic (yes, Riyadh, we’re looking at you) and make sure you know exactly where you’re going.

Mark those dates early, pick a test center close to home, and avoid the stress of last-minute scrambles. A little planning now means a smoother test day later—and that’s a win in anyone’s book.
