Districts may choose from two test options. All participating schools in a district must test using the same test option—either the ACT or the ACT with writing.

The district test coordinator will be our primary contact for the ACT District Testing program. During the implementation phase, we ask that this coordinator serve as the liaison among schools, district officials, and ACT. 

During subsequent phases (school establishment, training, materials delivery, administration, and some post-exam activities), we will work directly with the schools. From time to time, we may still ask for the coordinator’s assistance. 

Once testing is completed, we will send the district test coordinator all district-level reports and an invoice based on the number of students tested and the type of test administered. 

District test coordinators may also be the school test coordinator at individual schools participating in ACT District Testing.
