• ACT Aspire assessment is administered in-person and computer-based. All eligible students are required to test.

Students will be automatically registered to a testing location determined by your home address we have in our student information system and closest available testing site. 

• All efforts are made to ensure students have a testing location available to them. 

• If you prefer a different testing location/date/time, please submit a request via  this "Testing location Change Request Form." Please note that while Primavera will make a best effort to accommodate requests, it is possible that not all requests can be filled due to test location logistics, such as site capacity or location availability.
