ACT Fall Senior Testing – Reminders - Test Window 1 Prescheduled Material Pick Up

With test window 1 and corresponding online and accommodations windows now closed, KDE and ACT want to remind testing staff of crucial information about prescheduled material to pick-up attempts which will occur today, Oct 17.  Detailed information about collecting, packing, and returning materials can be found within step 6 of the ACT-hosted website. Testing staff should ensure the appropriate material is packaged for return to ACT when pick-up is attempted on Monday, Oct 17.

Testing staff should also be mindful of what can be retained for testing during Test Window 2 and what needs to be returned. Any paper accommodations test booklets, including non-college reportable accommodation material, must be returned to ACT. If you need additional ACT-authorized paper accommodations materials for examinees testing in Test Window 2, contact ACT’s Accommodations team at 800.553.6244 ext. 1788. Test administration manuals can be retained and used within Test Window 2. Student Authorization tickets for online testers are considered secure material and must be returned to ACT along with the appropriate test administration forms. Finally, Pre-ID labels sent for students to test online can be securely destroyed. Testing staff is encouraged to review the Return Shipping Training Tutorial, which contains information about returning online materials. If you need any additional information or assistance, please contact Shara Savage.
