What to bring the day of testing:

Acceptable Photo identification
Acceptable photo identification is required to be admitted to the test center. You will not be admitted to test if your ID does not meet ACT requirements.
Number 2 pencil
Bring sharpened, No. 2 pencils with good erasers (no mechanical pencils or ink pens). Do not bring any other writing instruments; you will not be allowed to use them.
Watch or Other Timing Device
You may bring a watch, timer, or stopwatch to pace yourself during testing, but it may not have an alarm. Your watch or other timing device must be removed and placed on your desk while in the test room, so that it remains visible to staff during the test. If an alarm sounds, you’ll be dismissed and your test will not be scored.
Calculator
Bring a permitted calculator to be used on the mathematics test only. You are not required to use a calculator at all, but if you do, it
is your responsibility to know whether your calculator is permitted.
Snacks
You may bring a snack to eat outside the testing room during break.

what if a college is test optional. should I send my scores?
A general rule of thumb is that if your scores are competitive compared to the college's other applicants (utilize the college's freshman index/profile), then submit them. If not, you might want to apply test - optional. If you submit scores, colleges WILL use them as a data point but will NOT assume your score is poor if you choose to apply test optional.
