The information here is intended to help you do your best on the ACT to gain admission to colleges and universities.  \nThe information here is for students with professionally diagnosed and documented disabilities who plan to test with alternate test formats (large print, braille, pre-recorded audio, or screen reader software) . If you planto test with a regular-print test booklet, use Preparing for the ACT Test, which includes information on taking the test as well as the four multiplechoice tests, a writing prompt, and scoring keys.  \nThis document offers general test-taking strategies, describes test content, provides specific tips for each test, and lets you know what to expect on test day. Also a writing test is included (which may be read to you if you require oral presentation) and scoring instructions. If you have been authorized for an oral presentation of the ACT, the entire test may be read to you. Braille, pre-recorded audio, screen reader compatible tests, and reader accommodations will use the triple time row in the timing table.  \nRead this document carefully and take the practice tests well before test day.
