General Reminders

• Make sure bulletin board materials related to potential test questions (English, mathematics, reading, science, and writing), charts, and maps that provide strategies for solving problems or writing essays are removed or covered.

• Geographical maps and periodic tables need not be covered.

• Each room supervisor must have two reliable timepieces in the room: one must be an accurate clock or watch that shows the actual time of day.

– ACT recommends that the second be a stopwatch or interval timer.

• If possible, each room should have an accurate wall clock so examinees who did not bring a watch can pace themselves.
