According to our registration data, approximately 215,000 students planned to sit for the test this past weekend. Of those students, nearly 10% registered to take the test with a fee waiver. This is our most up-to-date estimate of students tested. We report out official numbers of ACT test-takers annually by graduating class.
To-date, we have administered nearly 2.3 million tests since June 2020, as part of national test events and through state and district testing.
ISSUES & SOLUTIONS
There were a handful of cases where students showed up to a test center that had closed, or a proctor was unavailable, or materials had not made it to the test center in time for testing. Unfortunately, these things happen sometimes, due to the sheer volume and scale of in-person testing. In these cases, we are rescheduling students for a special makeup test date in the coming weeks and have sent out specific communication to affected students and their parents.
As a sign of better times ahead, we’re happy to report that there were no day-of-test cancellations or reschedules due to COVID-19 outbreaks.
