I just took ACT but don't want it to be graded. What do I do?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I gave up after not finishing on time and decided that my old score is good enough. I don't want today's test to be graded. What should I do?</p>

<p>You can permanently delete a test date record on file with the ACT company, but you’ll need to put your request in writing in order to do so.</p>

<p>Here’s a link to the webpage which describes the process: [<a href=“http://www.actstudent.org/faq/delete.html[/url]”>http://www.actstudent.org/faq/delete.html](<a href=“http://www.actstudent.org/faq/delete.html”>http://www.actstudent.org/faq/delete.html&lt;/a&gt;)</a>

</p>

<p>FYI, the College Board has a completely different score cancellation process for the SAT.</p>

<p>just use score choice</p>

<p>I think some schools require the reporting of all scores from all tests taken.</p>

<p>Others let you choose which scores to send. If in serious doubt (like you became ill and had to leave the test or have some other really compelling motivation) I would follow the instructions above and get the score pulled altogether.</p>

<p>It will not really matter if you didn’t have it selected to go to the schools that you are applying to. If you did have it sent to schools, than study really hard and do well the next time that you take it.</p>

6

<p>cancel it just call ACT and they will help you</p>

7

<p>you can cancel it but only up to a week after the test</p>

8

<p>yes, it can be canceled, I recommend you try taking it again, its apparently easier than the SAT</p>

9

<p>again, that is subject to opinion</p>

10

<p>i wud recommend taking a practice test</p>

11

<p>Cancel it quick!!</p>

12

<p>If you don’t cancel it colleges will see that you took an additional test and that won’t be good</p>

13

<p>And if you apply to a school that requires you to report all scores that won’t be good</p>

14

<p>I found a site saying the average ACT for a college grad is 23 and the average ACT for an MD or PhD is 27.</p>

15

<p>No worries if you have selected not to have the scores of the test sent to the schools.</p>

<p>However, some schools request that you provide them with all test scores when submitting your application </p>

<p>Don’t provide that score unless it is absolutely required!</p>
