Help yourself be calm and prepared for test day by knowing what you can and cannot bring into the test room with you.

BRING THIS, NOT THAT

• Bring a printed copy of your ticket to the test center. You will not be admitted to test if you do not have a printed copy of your ticket. If you have lost your ticket, you can print another through your ACT web account.
• Bring acceptable photo identification (Student ID or Driver's License). You will not be admitted to test without your ID or if your ID does not meet ACT requirements.
• Bring sharpened, soft lead 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. If you are registered for the ACT with writing, your essay must also be completed in pencil.
• Bring a watch to pace yourself, but do not bring a watch with an alarm. If your alarm sounds during testing, you'll be dismissed and yoiur answers will not be scored. No watch? No problem. The supervisor will announce when you have five minutes remaining on each test.
• Bring a permitted calculator to be used on the mathematics test only. It is your responsibility to know whether your calculator is permitted. Please refer to the ACT Calculator Policy (www.act.org/calculator-policy.html). You are not required to use a calculator at all.

Don't Bring these into the test room; you can't use them!!

• Textbooks, foreign language or other dictionaries, scratch paper, notes, or other aides
• Highlight pens, colored pens or pencils, or correction fluid/tape
• Any electronic device, other than a permitted calculator (this includes your mobile phone, smart watch, fitness band, media player, iPad, headphones, and camera)
• Reading material
• Tobacco in any form
• Food or beverages, including water (you will be offered a break outside of the test room)
• Prohibited devices

Prohibited devices: ACT reminds you that upon registration, you agreed to the Terms and Conditions: Testing Rules and Policies for the ACT. In particular, we'd like to bring your attention to the prohibited use of cell phones and electronic devices. The prohibited use of devices is in effect from the time you are admitted to your testing room until you are dismissed at the end of the test, including break times. Specifically:

• You may not handle or access a cell phone or electronic device at any time in the testing room or during break times. This includes smart watches, fitness bands, and any other devices with recording, internet, or communication capabilities.
• All devices, including cell phones and wearable devices, must be turned off and place out of sight.
• If you access your device or if your device activates while in the testing room or during break times, you will be dismissed, your test will not be scored, and your phone or device may be taken away.
