<p>Yeah so I don't have an identifying picture for the ACT....like nothing at all. So my guidance counselor put together a school letter for me (as stated on the ACT website). My counselor told me to return the letter...but on the ACT website it says they have to keep all letters, transcripts, and notarized statements. Is there any way I can keep my letter? Why do they keep them anyway?</p>
<p>just make a copy of the letter!</p>
<p>okay, but, why do they keep it anyways? Will they hold it against me if I don't have a letter instead of official id???</p>
<p>It's an auto 5 point deduction.</p>
<p>Lol, my friend got kicked out of the SAT yesterday for not having an id.</p>
<p>No, there's no way you can get your letter back. ACT keeps it in case your scores get flagged for test security, and they need to make sure you didn't have someone else test for you. It makes a lot more sense for ACT to keep it than for your counselor to want it back. What do they want it back for?</p>
<p>If you don't have an ID or a letter, you can't test...unless one of the test supervisors recognizes you. If you are testing at your own school, find out if a teacher who knows you is supervising.</p>
<p>Can't you get a photo ID?</p>
