Hello folks! I'm scheduled to take my ACT soon and was just wondering about how they assign test sites. Can we choose our test center or is it selected for us? Any guidance on this aspect would be really beneficial. Cheers!
Hi there, you'll be glad to know that the ACT allows you to select your test center. When you sign up online for the ACT, you will be prompted to enter your zip code. After you enter this information, you will be shown a list of testing sites that are close to you. You will then have the option to select one of those test centers.
It's important to note that availability at these test centers can vary depending on how quickly they fill up. Seats are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. It's therefore advisable to register early, especially if you have a specific test center in mind.
Also, do remember to consider the location of the test center and the start time of the test. You want a location that is convenient and accessible for you so you arrive fresh and ready for your test.
I hope this helps! Best of luck with your ACT.
