ACT WorkKeys Local Scan

 

About Local Scan

The ACT® Local Scan software allows ACT WorkKeys® site administrators to load a stack of examinee answer documents into the hopper of a compatible scanner, scan them, and a short time later, generate examinee score reports from the Validus™ Online Reports Portal. This process only works with the ACT WorkKeys answer documents printed in English for these tests:

  • Applied Math
  • Graphic Literacy
  • Workplace Documents
  • Applied Technology
  • Observation

Note: Local Scan software cannot be used to scan answer documents printed in Spanish.
