What does ACT do when it places a score hold on a student's scores following a reported irregularity?
Answer: Delays the release of scores while it investigates the reported concern
A score hold means ACT temporarily delays score release while investigating the reported irregularity before making a final determination.
Under what circumstance may a supervisor void a student's test during post-test processing?
Answer: Only when ACT explicitly authorizes voiding after reviewing an Irregularity Report
Supervisors cannot unilaterally void scores; voiding requires ACT authorization, typically following an irregularity investigation.
After the test, how should a supervisor document that a student used an approved accommodation such as a scribe?
Answer: Record it on the Supervisor's Report and in the student's accommodation documentation per ACT's instructions
Accommodation use must be recorded on the Supervisor's Report and in the accommodation documentation to ensure ACT processes scores correctly.
What is the purpose of the 'count and verify' step that supervisors perform after collecting all test materials?
Answer: To ensure the number of returned booklets and answer documents matches the number of seated students
The count-and-verify step confirms that all distributed materials are accounted for, detecting any missing booklets or answer documents before shipment.
A power outage occurred during the Writing section. After power was restored and testing completed, what must the supervisor include in the post-test report?
Answer: A full description of the disruption, time lost, and how the situation was handled
Any disruption to standard testing conditions must be fully documented, including timing, duration, and the supervisor's response, in the Irregularity Report.
When is a test coordinator permitted to open a sealed box of returned test materials after testing?
Answer: Only if directed to do so by ACT staff
Once materials are sealed for return, they must not be opened unless ACT staff explicitly authorize and direct the coordinator to do so.
Which of the following is the correct ACT protocol for handling a student's answer document that contains personally identifiable information written in the wrong field?
Answer: Note the error on the Supervisor's Report and return the document to ACT as-is
Answer documents must be returned to ACT as-is; supervisors should note the discrepancy on the Supervisor's Report and let ACT handle any corrections.
