What should an ACT test administrator do if a fire alarm sounds during a testing session?
Answer: Collect all test materials, direct students to evacuate, and secure materials before leaving
Student safety requires immediate evacuation; ACT protocol directs administrators to collect and secure materials when safely possible during an emergency.
An ACT administrator notices a student has written their name on the answer document in the wrong field. What is the best course of action?
Answer: Allow the student to correct the error before the section begins under administrator supervision
Minor documentation errors may be corrected before testing begins under supervision; ACT guidelines prioritize accurate student identification on answer documents.
How should an ACT administrator manage the transition between test sections to ensure proper timing?
Answer: Call time, instruct students to stop work, verify compliance, announce the break or next section, then begin timing precisely
Proper section transitions require verifying all students have stopped work before announcing breaks or new sections and recording exact start and stop times.
A student asks an ACT administrator to explain what a word in a test question means. How should the administrator respond?
Answer: Decline to help with test content but offer to re-read the question aloud if the student has a reading accommodation
ACT administrators are prohibited from assisting with test content; the only exception is re-reading material for students with documented read-aloud accommodations.
What is the correct ACT protocol for storing unused test materials before they are returned to ACT?
Answer: Lock them in a secure, access-controlled room immediately after testing
Unused ACT test materials are secure documents and must be stored in a locked, restricted-access location until they are packaged and returned to ACT.
During testing, an administrator suspects a student is using a prohibited phone. The student denies it. What is the appropriate response?
Answer: Ask the student to show that the phone is powered off and stored, and document the interaction
ACT protocol requires administrators to address suspected violations by requesting compliance with phone storage rules and documenting the incident without conducting invasive searches.
Which of the following is a proactive strategy ACT administrators should use to prevent behavioral issues before testing begins?
Answer: Read all prohibited behaviors and consequences aloud from the script before distributing materials
Scripted pre-test instructions that clearly state rules and consequences establish behavioral expectations and reduce the likelihood of violations during testing.
