What's the ACT cancellation policy if you can't make it on test day?

So I'm a bit worried I won't be able to take the ACT on my scheduled date. Does anyone know what the ACT's policy is for cancellation? Should I reschedule or can I get a refund?

If you're concerned about missing your scheduled ACT test date, it's important to know your options. The ACT doesn't offer refunds, but they do have a 'change fee' policy. If you know ahead of time that you cannot make it, you can change your test date or location for a fee. This fee varies depending on how close you are to the test date, with it being more expensive the closer you are. If it's an emergency on test day, unfortunately, you'll have to forfeit your registration fee. However, you can register again for a future date. Check the ACT website or your ACT account for the most current details on fees and deadlines.

Remember, it's better to officially reschedule than to not show up without notice. By officially changing your test date, you can avoid the need to pay the full registration fee again. Lastly, always keep a lookout for registration deadlines for future dates to ensure you get a spot. Best of luck with your preparation!
