Retest Exception Request

To maintain the security of the test, ACT restricts the total number of times an examinee may take the ACT to 12 total. This restriction applies even if your scores from a test date are cancelled by you or by ACT. In calculating the 12-test total, ACT makes exceptions for State Testing required by your state's Department of Education and tests taken as a young examinee through an academic talent search organization.
