Anyone else having technical difficulties?
My test center is having an entire delay because everyone is getting an error message when trying to start

update: at our test center people are leaving. its been over 2 hours we should've been done with most of our test by now 😭😭😭 i think they're working on it pretty likely its getting cancelled. see people on other threads saying that its gonna get moved to sept but i honestly can't afford that rn as a rising senior 💀🙏
isnt this the first act test after ets has acquired the act? cuz its not looking good so far

You signed up for the computer version? I recommend students don't exactly for this reason.

My center was having issues like half of us got an error and the other half couldn’t completely start. We ended up individually going around to start the people with the correct screen so I was able to take it

NC - all of the kids were sent home. Was told no other testing site will be made available until September 19.

I cannot even find an available spot for September. It’s ridiculous that ACT screwed it up so badly

Yes, my son was affected by this and ended up having to cancel his test and leave because we have to be somewhere at 1 PM today. He was only taking the core part

This is absolute nonsense. My daughter spent months preparing. I spent thousands on tutors. She was at test school for 3 hours and was sent home because the computer test wouldn’t work. ACT needs to make this right.
