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.
The exam also will offer a “remote proctoring option” for fall and winter tests, in addition to three previously scheduled national test dates which are expected to take place in September, October and December.
The remote option will allow students to take the exam from their home computer starting in the fall and winter.
