<p>Today was supposed to be my second test, but I couldn't make it. I woke up and got at the test center really early, about more than hour before the time. I still remember my first time testing, they said we had to move to a different place. Thanks God I was lucky to meet a lady who showed me where to go. I totally had no idea where that place was at.
This morning when I got there, a man told me to follow the test center's school bus to get to the ACT. I thought it was like the last time, they changed the test center. Without thinking, I just followed the bus, and some people did that also. It turned out the bus was going to a city that was like 40 minutes away to do something else, not the ACT. I knew it was late but I still went back to the "true" test center. I was 30 minute late. I felt so dumb and terrible. I have prepared and waited for this day since summer. I'm so depressed. How could I be that dumb? I don't feel like doing anything anymore. It feels like I just lost something very important.
I don't think I can get any waiver anymore. This morning we were driving very far. It cost a lot of gas. I have to pay for the ACT the next time I register. My family can't afford it. I tended to take once in September and one in October. I can't do that anymore.</p>
<p>Do you think it is late to take it in this october? It's on 27 Oct. I feel late.</p>
<p>dont feel bad about it, stuff like this happens in life. honestly, things could be much worse. the way i see it (im not necessarily an optimistic person btw) everything happens for a reason. for example, something horrible might have went wrong if you took the test, you might’ve done terrible no matter how prepared you felt. take this as an opportunity to force yourself to practice even more for the october one, use your disappointment as motivation to push yourself to do extremely well next time so you wont have to take it again (that also helps avoid paying the costs of further testing)</p>
<p>I think ACT is way too disorganized. There were a lot of screw ups with them. I have never heard stories like these associated with the SAT. My son’s ACT admission ticket didn’t print, and then it was cancelled. Apparently, the credit card never got charged. But, they had already confirmed it and all, more than a month ago when we did the sign up. I called them and they did not care. I heard from another place that the location locally had to be moved, only, they did not provide the new place for it to be given. I don’t even know how that has turned out. Last I heard is people were being told it was cancelled and would be rescheduled at some point in the future. Whatever! I will never even bother with ACT again.</p>
<p>I think you should just get your money back and concentrate on the SAT.</p>
<p>Also, since you already paid, and they are the ones who switched centers like that, you should call the credit card and dispute the payment. They are the ones who did not provide the service they promised.</p>
<p>(((((hugs))))) and I see now that you had a waiver. You should be able to get them to apply the waiver to the next test if you still want to test with them.</p>
