Why was I assigned to a test center that was not one of my original choices? Can I change this?
When you registered, the test center(s) you chose was either full or unavailable. We assigned you to the nearest available test center for your test option.
We may have assigned you to a different test center if there wasn't a seat and materials for the test option you chose—the ACT (No Writing) vs. the ACT Plus Writing.
To request a Test Center Change, log in to your student Web account and select "Make changes to your registration" or call ACT at 319/337-1270 (between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., central time, Monday through Friday) no later than the late deadline for your test date. When you call, be sure you have your ACT ID, test date, test option, your preferred test center (see Test Center Locations, Dates, and Codes), and a valid credit card number and expiration date.
If there is room at your preferred test center for your test option, you will be assigned there and charged a $20.00 Test Center Change fee.
If you miss the late deadline, you can try to make the change on test day.
