What is the purpose of Pre-ID labels applied to ACT answer documents?
Answer: To pre-populate student registration information and reduce transcription errors
Pre-ID labels contain a student's registration data, reducing errors and time spent on manual entry while linking answer documents to the correct student record.
A student's Pre-ID label is missing from the materials packet. What should the proctor do?
Answer: Have the student write their information on the answer document grid and notify the coordinator
When a Pre-ID label is missing, students should complete the registration grid manually on the answer document, and the coordinator should be notified to document the issue.
During ACT administration, scratch paper is distributed to students. Which statement about scratch paper is correct?
Answer: Scratch paper must be collected and destroyed after the test session
All scratch paper distributed during an ACT administration must be collected and securely destroyed after the session to prevent any test content from leaving the room.
When multiple test forms are being administered in the same testing room, what distribution practice best maintains security?
Answer: Seat students with alternate forms in non-adjacent seats to prevent copying
Seating students with alternate test forms in non-adjacent positions minimizes the risk of copying and is a standard security measure when multiple forms are in use.
What document must a test coordinator complete to reconcile distributed and returned test materials at the end of a session?
Answer: A materials inventory/reconciliation log
A materials inventory or reconciliation log is used to verify that every distributed item—booklets, answer documents, and scratch paper—has been returned before sealing the return shipment.
A student accidentally marks their answer document with incorrect identifying information. What is the proper procedure?
Answer: Issue the student a new answer document and have them transfer their answers
ACT's procedure is to provide a new answer document so the student can properly transcribe responses, ensuring scoring accuracy without compromising the document.
What should a test coordinator do with test materials designated for accommodated students that were not used during the administration?
Answer: Package and return them separately per ACT's instructions for accommodated materials
Accommodated test materials often require separate return packaging and documentation per ACT's specific instructions to ensure proper tracking and security.
