In case of a TCM outage, these instructions and a back-up timepiece take the place of TCM task cards and timers. Resume TCM use if the issue is resolved during the exam. If using TCM, enter details into TCM after examinees have been dismissed. If not using TCM, the Irregularity Report must be returned to ACT.  \n• Staff are not using TCM task cards for paper testing.  \nWhen staff is prompted to tap/click to start the timer in TCM, start timing on your back-up timepiece. If using TCM, the Irregularity Report and Test Times Tracker are included in these instructions, and those details must be entered into TCM after examinees have been dismissed. If not using TCM, the Irregularity Report must be returned to ACT.  \nNote: Online instructions are not included in this document. If testing online, follow the instructions in the Printable Task Cards.  \n© 2026 by ACT Education Corp. All rights reserved.
