Can I get a refund for the writing part of the ACT...

Test Preparation

<p>if I tell the proctor or whoever that I'm not taking it before I get admitted into the testing site? Any idea how I go about getting the refund or how long I have to do so? I just realized I don't need it, and I have a choir performance that starts an hour after the basic ACT should get over, but if I take the writing portion I'd be cutting it REALLY close. I'd rather miss the writing part than the choir performance.. Anybody know? The FAQ on the website didn't really answer this for me, unless I missed it. I saw the part about the refund but I'm going to use my admission ticket to take the basic, should I just write them and say I need a refund for the writing part, or call them?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>My guess is that there is no refund if you show up and take part of the test. Easiest way to find out, though, is to call them and ask.</p>

<p>You cannot get a refund</p>

<p>"Once you have submitted your registration to ACT, it cannot be cancelled. Once you begin testing, you have used that registration and cannot request a test date change or receive any refunds for optional services."</p>

<p>Also arrive early if you have signed up for writing and don't want to do it. When my Daughter did the test with writing they were in a different room from those doing the test without writing.</p>

<p>I've changed my mind about taking the ACT Writing Test. Can I add or remove it before the test day?</p>

<p>Yes. Call ACT Registration at 319/337-1270 by the late registration deadline for your test date to make the change. Fee adjustments depend on whether you are adding or removing Writing and whether other services are required to find you a seat (for example, a test center change).</p>

<p>If you change your mind after the deadline, tell the test supervisor at your test center what change you would like to make before you are admitted to test. If there are materials, space, and staff for the other test option, you will be able to make the change, and ACT will make the appropriate fee adjustments.</p>

<p>I guess the "appropriate free adjustments" might just be charging you if you decide TO take it, but not if you remove it?</p>

<p>I'll contact them, thanks:)</p>

<p>I think you have hit the nail on the head there. Sadly the way of the world is that businesses are more willing to take more of your money than return any of it. Good luck with your test.</p>
