[Counselors] Important reminders about deadlines for the Junior ACT test and makeup ACT

[OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

PLEASE READ:
VERY important reminders for you regarding the junior ACT April 3 test date and the April 24 makeup test since it has been discussed on this discussion board.  I have verified this with Greg Loebe at ACT:

The materials/test books you have now are for the April 3rd test date ONLY.  ACT puts brightly colored flyers in the box with the test books that indicate which test date they are to be used.
If YOU TEST or DO NOT TEST on April 3rd, the DEADLINE to return all of the materials is APRIL 6th and please remember there is a specific process on returning them.

If you do not test April 3, you have to ORDER YOUR MAKEUP TESTS BY APRIL 6 for the makeup April 24 test!  You can access the Pearson site to order from any computer.

Regarding FEDEX pick up:
If you test or do not test, you have to get the used and unused materials into FedEx by APRIL 6th.
A pickup has been prescheduled at every site for April 4th. (If nobody is at the school, FedEx will try back on the 5th and 6th to pick them up)
The TC can bring the materials to a FedEx location for return shipping if they will not be in school for the 4th -6th. They need to get a receipt from FedEx if they choose to do so.

Accommodations:
The accommodations window goes for two weeks through 4/17.
ACT has prescheduled a pickup for 4/18 for those materials.
If a school is not able to test their accommodated students within that window, they will need to return the unused test books and then call the Accommodations department to get materials ordered. This part is different from standard time testing as schools do not have the ability to order accommodated materials themselves.
The makeup accommodations window is from 4/24 - 5/1. Only one week, rather than two like the initial window.


This is the schedule of events that are very important:  http://www.act.org/content/dam/act/unsecured/documents/ScheduleofEventsACT-OK.pdf  Look carefully at the bottom of page 2 and beyond.
