Tips for Success

• Bookmark the URL for your state’s testing website (this site) and check back frequently for updated information and content.
• Mark important dates from your Schedule of Events on your calendar and set reminders for deadlines.
• Familiarize yourself with the three stages of the testing cycle (Pre-Administration, Test Administration, and Post-Administration) by browsing the sections. You can see a brief description, action items, and resources associated with each stage to help you get a feel for the testing timeline. Content will be linked as it becomes available.
  
• Watch for emails from ACT with important reminders. Add our email address to your contacts to prevent emails from going to spam/junk folders.
