If the applicant mistakenly reaches the wrong ACT exam centre right before the exam begins, he/she should try and reach the correct exam centre as soon as possible. It's important to check the details of the ACT exam centre beforehand and if possible one should go and check out the exam centre a day or two before the date of exam to avoid such lat minute confusions. One must know where to reach, in how much time and through which medium of transportation at the ACT exam centre.

The only way to choose an apt exam centre is to first visit ACT’s official website and find the ACT exam centre options. Then check for the nearest ACT exam centre's location. Then, know about the scheduled test dates for each exam centre before choosing one particular option. Applicants can also check out the list of ACT exam centres mentioned in the above article for reference.

In case the applicant is unable to register for his or her preferred ACT exam centre, the next best option is to choose another test date. Exam centre availability completely depends upon the applicant's time of ACT exam registration and whether or not seats at the designated ACT exam centre are available or not. It is advised that students check their test dates and corresponding registration deadlines for the chosen ACT exam centre beforehand to avoid missing out at the last minute.

In case a very far off ACT exam centre is available and the applicant doesn't have another nearby option, he or she will have to choose that far away centre only. The next best solution to find a nearby ACT exam centre is to change the date of exam and check for the nearby exam centre's seat availability. In case seats are available at the nearby centre with a mere change of date, then applicants can switch over. But if there's not much time in hand and scores cannot be delayed to be sent across to the universities then the current preference should be given to the far off ACT exam centre. So choose wisely.

No, there is no additional fee for choosing an ACT exam centre in India. The fee is charged holistically from applicants when they are finally submitting their ACT exam forms. However, a "Change Fee" of $44.00 will be charged if you request for a change in your chosen ACT test date and/or centre.Thus, students must exercise caution while applying for ACT exam and choosing the ACT exam centre and ofcourse the date. Plus, make sure that you apply through the official website by logging in to the MyACT account only and not pay any extra amounts unecessarily. There are no additional exam centre costs, all costs are included within the over

Yes, the ACT exam centres follow the same exam timings as proposed. For the morning shift test-takers need to be seated at 8:00 AM and for the afternoon shift, test-takers should be present at 1:30 PM. A short break is thereafter the first two tests. Test takers giving the ACT with writing get a brief break before the writing test. Thus, applicants should reach the ACT exam centre well within time with whatever is required to give the exam without any last minute hassles.
