Used Wrong Calculator

<p>My D took her 3rd ACT exam last weekend. When she took it in the Spring and Fall she used her older TI calculator. She got a new TI for her AP Calc class and brought that to her test...only to find out that it was not allowed!! After looking at the website, they do have a list of prohibited calculators including my daughter's. Anyway, she knows she bombed that whole exam because not only did she have to do the math section without a calculator, she was also running a slight fever. She came home crying because this was her last shot at bringing up her score :(</p>

<p>Does anyone know if we can request for ACT to cancel out these scores from her records?</p>

2

<p>Yes, you can. You can call them at the number listed on their website.</p>

<p>you can cancel the scores, but since you can pick which scores the schools see you don't really have to.</p>

<p>THANK YOU EVERYONE!! My D will be relieved. Happy Holidays to all!!</p>

<p>Did her teachers not talk about prohibited calculators? When a national test date is coming up soon, my math teachers always mention to the class that you can't use a TI-89 and related calculators on the ACT. Either way, that sucks.</p>

<p>she is a retard, I did the whole test without calculator and finished it without any problem.</p>
