ACT Testing FAQs

COVID-19 Response Update

Within accommodations there are two distinct groups - those who can test at "National Testing" Centers and those who must test as "School Based Testers" at SI. Please make sure you understand which group you are a part of and how ACT's changes impact you.

“National Testing Students” are encouraged to register for the ACT in June

Qualifying students are defined as: Timing Code 6 or 7 students who are available to test according to the schedule outlined above. Due to our increased number of testers in June we are not in a position to offer a seat to students requiring other supports.**
