Requesting a Copy of Your Test Questions and Answers
If you order and pay for Test Information Release (TIR) and test at a national test center on a national test date that offers this service, you will receive a list of your answers, a copy of the multiple-choice test questions used to determine your score, the answer key, and scoring instructions. (If you took the Writing Test, you will also receive a copy of the writing prompt, the scoring rubric, and the scores assigned to your essay by two readers.) Information about ordering a photocopy of your answer document (including your essay if you took the Writing Test) for an additional fee will be included with your materials.
The TIR fee for the 2011–2012 test dates is $18.00.
Which test dates offer this service?
If you took the ACT at a national test center on one of the national test dates listed below, you can order TIR when you register or during the three-month period after your test date. This service is not offered on any other test dates or for any non-national administrations (e.g., International, Special).
2011–2012 Saturday National Testing
- Saturday, December 10, 2011
- Saturday, April 14, 2012

2011–2012 Non-Saturday National Testing

- Sunday–Monday, April 15–16, 2012
Non-Saturday testing is scheduled for students who cannot test on Saturday because of religious convictions or who live in remote areas.
If for any reason we have to replace the test version scheduled for use at your test center or reschedule the administration, this offer becomes void, and we will refund your fee for this service. If you order and pay for this service when you register and test on an ineligible test date, we will automatically refund this fee.
To order this optional service, download the Test Information Release Order Form (PDF; 1 page, 25KB; for assistance, see these downloading tips).
Your request must be postmarked no later than three months after the test date.
Materials are normally mailed about 4 weeks after you receive your score report. You cannot plan to receive them before the registration deadline or in time to study for the next test date.
All orders received after score reports are first issued will be mailed 3–5 weeks after receipt at ACT.
