Hello, I am currently studying for the ACT test and I have purchased a lot of prep books with paper tests. Although I discovered that the ACT is only available online now. Is that true? ACT website says it depends on the state or district. How can I find out which version of the test my area administers? Also has anyone taken the ACT test on the computer. If so do you like it better than with paper and pencil. Also were you given scrap paper for the mathematics section?
ACT is not on computer. It is completely pencil and paper. Your test is GRADED by a computer and you can receive your score report online roughly 10 days after administration.
There is no scratch paper for math. You can use the testing booklet instead.
Interestingly, today I got an email from ACT offering a free test which would be done on computer- apparently they are trying out the idea.
Yes. ACT is moving from paper to PC. In some countries (eg India) the last couple of tests were online at test centers and there is no option of paper testing any longer. In the US it is paper but will move to online over time, in all likelihood.
Correction - as of Sep 2018 ALL international testing centers are online. There is no paper option.
ACT is pencil and paper test.
I think ACT is not a computer based test
