  1. How do students typically access their ACT scores after an official test administration?

    Answer: Students log in to their ACT web account approximately 2–8 weeks after the test date

    Students access their scores online through their ACT web account, typically available 2–8 weeks after the test date depending on the test type.

  2. If a student requests to cancel their ACT scores after testing, what is the process?

    Answer: The student must contact ACT directly within the cancellation window specified in the ACT policies

    Students must contact ACT directly within the specified post-test cancellation window; test center staff do not have the authority to cancel scores.

  3. What must a supervisor do if a student reports that their personal identification was lost or stolen at the test site after the session ended?

    Answer: Advise the student to report the loss to appropriate authorities and document the incident

    Lost or stolen ID is a personal matter for the student to report to authorities, but the supervisor should document the incident in case it relates to any irregularity.

  4. Why is it critical that supervisors accurately record start and stop times on all answer documents and reports?

    Answer: To confirm students received the correct amount of testing time, which affects score validity

    Accurate start and stop times verify that all students received exactly the allotted testing time, which is essential for score validity and any subsequent irregularity review.

  5. Which entity is responsible for sending official ACT score reports to colleges designated by the student?

    Answer: ACT's central processing office

    ACT's central processing office is solely responsible for sending official score reports to the colleges the student designated during registration or on test day.

  6. Under ACT policy, what is the retention period for Irregularity Reports filed at the test center level?

    Answer: Centers should retain copies for at least one year per ACT's records retention guidelines

    ACT guidelines require test centers to retain copies of Irregularity Reports for at least one year in case follow-up investigation or documentation is needed.

  7. A student who tested contacts the test center two weeks later claiming their scores are missing. What should the supervisor advise?

    Answer: Direct the student to contact ACT's national office, as score inquiries are handled centrally

    All score inquiries, disputes, and status checks must go through ACT's national office; test centers do not have access to individual score data post-administration.
