What happens if there is bad weather on the test day?

Listen to the local radio or television station that normally carries school announcements. If the test is cancelled at your test center, there will be an announcement and the test will be rescheduled. If conditions are dangerous, do not attempt to travel to the test center.

If your test center is closed due to severe weather, we will notify you by mail about a rescheduled test date. You may also check this website to find your rescheduled test date or call ACT Test Administration (319/337-1510).

If your test center stays open and the test is given, but you are unable to reach the test center because of severe weather, call ACT Registration (319/337-1270) during the week after the test date for your options.
