This year, students can take the ACT college-entrance test at home

College-bound students who need to take the ACT will have more options amid the coronavirus shutdown.

The ACT, one of the nation’s most-used college entrance exams, will offer what it calls a “flexible schedule” for this summer’s test-takers as well as “test-at-home options” starting in the late fall or early winter. The move was announced Wednesday by the nonprofit organization that organizes and produces the exam.

The ACT will allow students to reschedule test dates in June and July without charging fees.
