<p>I had extra time left after i finished the science section of the ACT so I went back and reviewed some of my questions. I found out i got two answers wrong so i changed them. I erased as much as I could but the wrong answers were still a bit dark, not as dark as my real bubbles though. Would the scanner read those answers as incorrect?!?</p>
<p>I had the same problem! My eraser would not work. A couple of the changed answers were light but some of them were still kind of dark</p>
<p>Yeah, same here. I kept trying to erase my answer but it wasn't erasing completely. I got scolded by the proctor because I tried to keep erasing my answer after the section was over even though I was clearly not putting down a different answer.</p>
<p>I had the same issue too! Perhaps the ACT creators should consider a new, more eraser-friendly paper.</p>
<p>I was to afraid to erase the bubble after the tes was over. I had like 10 minutes left on English and spent at least 3 minutes erasing changed answers. They were still dark even after that.</p>
<p>It's a conspiracy. The ACT is obviously plotting against us with un-erasable paper.
But seriously, I could NOT erase completely for the life of me. My erased marks were still noticeable - a bit darker than the "too light" bubble on the top. I almost broke my eraser trying to get them off.</p>
<p>Hmm.. I am lucky. Because I have 'low' vision, I get to take an enlarged test, with an enlarged bubble sheet. It was very easy to erase. And even if I did have a few smudges to trick the machine, they didn't get transfered over onto the regular sized paper.</p>
<p>by the way guys, if the marks weren't reflective anymore in the light, they were "erased"
the machines work on the reflectivity of the marks, or so i've heard.</p>
<p>when i took my ACT I had eraser marks all over. I looked at my answer sheet and thought it was "ok" but was a little nervous. I tried to erase but it didn't really work. When I got my scores back, I knew that the machine had misread what I meant....as I got my answers back and knew that I switched my answers. Not to make anyone nervous or anything...but that was my experience which was very frustrating because the ACT people said they are not responsible.</p>
