<p>My kid took the ACT 3 times last year and we did not fill out all those personal questions…it is NOT required</p>
<p>There is always a way around this. If there is a question that I don’t want to answer I just put a . in the field on an online form. Even works for “required” fields.</p>
<p>I don’t see what the problem is here… Just fill out what is required and move on. </p>

<p>I am very sorry for your loss. I don’t remember what the ACT requires but just blow through the thing and put down whatever to finish it. </p>
<p>In terms of signing up for the ACT or SAT applications online, there is nothing onerous about clicking through these screens to get someone signed up that it can’t be the parent. They are just tests.</p>
<p>It is the common app that the student must get pretty clear on navigating and entering their info themselves since it is their college application.</p>
<p>I was signing up for him. Not because he is lazy, but because I thought I was just going to get on, give the sign up info, and then pay. I had expected to just put in his name, address, grade, school, etc…I did not expect to have to give pages worth of hobbies, background information, exactly what state he wants to go to college in, the size of the college, whether or not be plans to file for financial aid, if he likes to calculate interest, do carpentry, etc etc etc. </p>
<p>SO…it was not that he was unwilling to do it, I just thought I was taking my credit card to the computer and signing him up. That was it.</p>
<p>I don’t recall now what the ACT asks. I believe we just skipped it all. I think you can scroll down to the end of the page and just hit continue or something like that. The SAT is the same way. Tons of questions we just left blank and never filled in.</p>
