Anyone else have this problem?

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>I took the ACT at Illinois Wesleyan University today, and the testing room was a lecture hall that has the cushioned seats with extremely small fold out desks. The desks were so small that I couldn't have my answer document and the question booklet on my desk at the same time. I had to hold one in my hand or lap and set the other on the desk. Sometimes the test booklet would fall off the desk if I moved it. I had to fumble around so much with my materials that I truly believe it affected my score. Then when my calculator was added to the mix in the math section, I had to fumble around w/my crap even more.</p>

<p>And as you guys know, there was hardly time for fumbling around on the science section.</p>

<p>I hate those kinds of desks so much. Anyone else think there should be minimum dimensions of desk sizes for test centers?</p>

<p>yeah, but not much you can do about it.</p>

<p>i'm totally with you guitarman89 :]
the place were i took some of my practice sat tests had tiny desks too. luckily it was only practice tests...</p>

<p>Never happened to me but after our test was over they had us do a survey on the answer sheet and one of em asked if we had enough desk space to hold all of our materials..</p>

5

<p>^ Yep. I put no for that one.</p>

<p>That's why it's best to try to take your ACT at a high school where the desks are normal.</p>

<p>^ So true.</p>

<p>But I had taken it at Wesleyan before and I got to use a very nice desk with a lot of space, but they didn't use the same room this time.</p>

<p>And I would've taken it at my high school if it was offered. This was the closest place.</p>
