  1. What is the correct seating arrangement requirement for ACT standard testing rooms?

    Answer: Students must be seated at least 4 feet apart (desk to desk)

    ACT requires desks to be at least 4 feet apart (center to center) to prevent students from viewing each other's work.

  2. Under what circumstance may a test administrator provide scratch paper to students?

    Answer: Never—only the test booklet margins may be used

    ACT permits scratch paper only for the Writing section, and it must be provided as part of the official administration materials, not sourced by the student.

  3. How should a test administrator respond if a parent or guardian attempts to enter the testing room during the examination?

    Answer: Politely but firmly refuse entry and direct them to wait outside

    Only authorized personnel may be in the testing room during the ACT; parents and guardians are not permitted regardless of the circumstances.

  4. After a test administration concludes, how should unused test booklets be handled?

    Answer: Returned to ACT in the same secure packaging as used materials

    All test materials—used and unused—must be returned to ACT in secure packaging; test centers may not retain any secure materials.

  5. What is the role of the room monitor (proctor) in an ACT testing room compared to the test supervisor?

    Answer: The room monitor assists with administration tasks under the direct supervision of the test supervisor

    Room monitors assist the test supervisor with tasks like distributing materials and watching for irregularities, but overall responsibility rests with the supervisor.

  6. A student claims they were not given enough time on a section due to the administrator's error. What should the administrator do?

    Answer: Document the incident thoroughly and report it via an irregularity report for ACT to resolve

    Any timing error must be documented and reported to ACT, which will determine the appropriate resolution—not the administrator.

  7. According to ACT policy, what must administrators do with their personal mobile phones during the test administration?

    Answer: Leave them in a vehicle or locked storage outside the room

    To prevent security breaches, test administrators must store personal mobile devices outside the testing room—phones are not permitted in the room during testing.
