News: June ACT will happen, but some test centers opt out

The facts:

  • The June 13th ACT is going to happen. This bodes well for future ACT and SAT exams this Summer

  • A number of test-sites opted out of administering the test, forcing a number of students to postpone their exam until a future administration

  • ACT released a new FAQ for students whose test site centers canceled 

If your June 13th test was canceled:

ACT sent an email to all students registered for the June test date informing them of their testing status and provided instructions for how to complete a free reschedule. Most examinees should be able to reschedule their registrations through their student web account. 

Test Date Change fees will be waived.

The next ACT national test date is July 18. ACT is in close contact with test centers regarding their ability to administer the test.  ACT expects many more students to test in July and is trying to add a second exam in July as well as an additional exam in August.

TPG’s take: If your June ACT exam was canceled, we understand how frustrating that must be.

ACT is trying to make their exam available to as many students as possible, but we are told that that some sites were forced to close due to various state guidelines (which differ in each state), while some other school-based sites simply opted out.

That said, ACT expects more test sites to be available for the July and September exams.

We encourage all students whose exams were canceled to register as soon as possible for the July ACT exam, and the September exam when registration becomes available.
