ACT announced yesterday that all December 2020 and February 2021 international administrations have been cancelled.
According to an ACT spokesperson, ACT made this decision because "going into the winter, it is likely there will be school closures and restrictions internationally due to flu season and a potential COVID-19 resurgence at international locations. We are anticipating and planning for these likely scenarios."
In the meantime, the September and October international administrations will move forward as planned, which means many class of 2021 students will not be affected by the latest announcement.
Students registered for December or February now have time to think about their next steps and adjust their plans. If you were registered for one of these exams, you should have received an email notifying you of your options to change your test date or request a refund.
Students who were planning to test in December or February should talk to their counselors right away about the next steps that make sense for their situations. Every student’s circumstances will be unique, involving their goal scores, universities they're considering, school circumstances, and other factors.
You can consider the following options in your conversations with your counselor.
