ACT is transitioning between two timing formats. To ensure you follow the correct timing guidelines, identify the form code on the front of your test booklet and click the link below:
You can fast forward through breaks but may find that taking the time to stand up, stretch, and eat a snack will help keep you energized throughout the test.
When you have finished, please take a scan or photo of your answer sheet and email it to: grading@compassprep.com.
DC89 and FM78
Note: Science is technically optional but we strongly encourage you to take the science section. We also recommend that you take the practice test with the timing accommodations that you have been approved for. If you have not applied for testing accommodations, take the test with standard time.
