ACT is making me mad!!

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>Okay to make a long story short, I didn't take the June ACT that I signed up for. I was told that once registration for 12-13 opened I could do a test date change for a small fee. Having already done this with the SAT, I had no problem with it and everything was fine, until it happened. Yesterday I went to do the test date change (which took FOREVER since their system so somehow so simple that it becomes complex), and once I finally go to the end I saw the charge was going to be $71!!!!! </p>

<p>Thinking I did something wrong I contacted ACT. Today they sent be back an email saying that they charge full price for the ACT test PLUS a test date change fee, but here is the "upside" they will "eventually give you a refund for the full price ACT minus the test date change fee," yeah their exact words. Eventually....</p>

<p>I don't have $71 for this neither do my parents. I'm seriously just thinking about not taking the ACT again at all (even though it is easier for me than the SAT). Any advice?</p>

<p>you can try explaining your situation to a school administrator and they will probably give you a fee waiver that you can use. just tell them the whole story. definitely don’t let money get in the way of you taking a test that’s easier for you than the alternative. don’t use the waiver on the test date change, just start a whole new registration for whatever test date you want to take</p>

<p>You can try to apply for a fee waiver or appeal to ACT Inc. again. Other than that… there’s not many options that seem to be available to you. Would taking the ACT/SAT again be a necessity for you?</p>

<p>yes I HAVE to take it again!</p>

<p>Just sign up for the next test date…then you’ll only have to pay 36 dollars.</p>
