<p>Today I took the ACT for the 4th time in hope of receiving a 35 or higher. I have a 34 as of right now (I'm not trying to brag). During the test, once the math portion of the test ended I noticed that some of my bubbles on the answer sheet were not exactly "legible." The proctor told me to put my pencil down a few seconds after the math test was over. I continued the test, but after the science exam, another proctor came in, took me out of the classroom and told me that I have been reported for irregular test behavior and that I was being dismissed. I asked her why they didn't let me continue and finish the writing portion because she told me that my test was not completely void and that I could appeal. I in complete shock as I wonder if the ACT will now question my other test scores. Will this go on any record? Will I be able to plead my case?</p>
<p>As far as I know colleges will never be able to see that even if it does become void. I would plead your case and tell what you told us, but ultimately they can do what they choose since it clearly says you cannot bubble in at all after the time is up. I was in the same boat as you but I quickly bubbled them in before time as up. Hopefully you’ll win your appeal but even if you do I’m not sure what would happen to your score since you didn’t finish the full act.</p>
<p>Also, I circled every answer in my booklet except for the three I guessed on in Math (they were all C). Could I use this evidence to appeal?</p>
<p>I don’t see what the point in an appeal would be. Take your score of 34 and move on.</p>
<p>If you really cheated, accept your score and move on. If you did not, appeal and show them everything you can.</p>
