ACT Centres

Sure, here's a clean, simple list:

1. Access the ACT Website: Visit the official ACT website.
2. Login or Create an Account: Use your MyACT account to view test center details.
3. Use the Test Center Locator: Search for test centers by entering your zip code or address.
4. Check Test Date and Time: Confirm the date and time of your chosen test center.

If the applicant mistakenly reaches the wrong ACT exam centre right before the exam begins, he/she should try and reach the correct exam centre as soon as possible. It's important to check the details of the ACT exam centre beforehand and if possible one should go and check out the exam centre a day or two before the date of exam to avoid such lat minute confusions. One must know where to reach, in how much time and through which medium of transportation at the ACT exam centre.

Bring the following with you to the test centre:

• A valid photo ID
• 2 pencils (sharpened) with erasers
• A calculator
• Water bottle

No other item would be permitted at the ACT exam centre thus, abide by the rules and avoid going against them.

The only way to choose an apt exam centre is to first visit ACT’s official website and find the ACT exam centre options. Then check for the nearest ACT exam centre's location. Then, know about the scheduled test dates for each exam centre before choosing one particular option. Applicants can also check out the list of ACT exam centres mentioned in the above article for reference.

In case the applicant is unable to register for his or her preferred ACT exam centre, the next best option is to choose another test date. Exam centre availability completely depends upon the applicant's time of ACT exam registration and whether or not seats at the designated ACT exam centre are available or not. It is advised that students check their test dates and corresponding registration deadlines for the chosen ACT exam centre beforehand to avoid missing out at the last minute. 

In case a very far off ACT exam centre is available and the applicant doesn't have another nearby option, he or she will have to choose that far away centre only. The next best solution to find a nearby ACT exam centre is to change the date of exam and check for the nearby exam centre's seat availability. In case seats are available at the nearby centre with a mere change of date, then applicants can switch over. But if there's not much time in hand and scores cannot be delayed to be sent across to the universities then the current preference should be given to the far off ACT exam centre. So choose wisely.

Yes, the ACT exam centres follow the same exam timings as proposed. For the morning shift test-takers need to be seated at 8:00 AM and for the afternoon shift, test-takers should be present at 1:30 PM. A short break is thereafter the first two tests. Test takers giving the ACT with writing get a brief break before the writing test. Thus, applicants should reach the ACT exam centre well within time with whatever is required to give the exam without any last minute hassles.

The following items are not allowed at the ACT exam centre:

• Any snacks, drinks, or reading materials in the test room are not permitted while sitting for the ACT exam.
• Chits or any cheating material.
• Gadgets besides calculators. 
• Any sharp material and metal materials.
• Also books are also equally prohibited to carry at ACT exam centre.

Applicants not abiding by the rules may be penalised and may also be barred from appearing for the ACT exam at the designated exam centre.
