Lora Leuzinger spent five hours on the ACT on Monday for her emerging elderly daughter to take the college front test.
Previously, the circle of relatives in Dublin, Ohio, had registered for the check 4 times, told USA TODAY. But each time, it was canceled because of the coronavirus. Tests in March, April and May were canceled nationwide. THE ACT verification continued at some sites this summer, however, many verification centers have closed due to the accumulation of COVID-19 cases, an option that also looms in the fall.
Although some schools have made the optional option for the next admission cycle, “they still base the scholarships on it,” Leuzinger said.
“That’s all it takes for developing seniors,” he said. “They have to find a way to make it possible.”

For a check log that had been preparing for months, and for parents who were worried about registering their children, the collapse of the system signaled a “complete failure,” Ms. Tammy Brazil said on Twitter.
She tweeted: “I spent a day in the cart and turned for more than 30 minutes before crashing. What score would you give yourself?”
Another mother, Deidre Appel, expressed fear that “there is no precedent for the elderly who are running out of time.”
“The tests were canceled in April, June and July; they didn’t work on enrollment day for the fall tests,” he tweeted in the ACT account. “You’re disturbing the lives of children!”
In places that perform ACT tests, considerations have arisen on the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Two students tested positive after taking the test at one of Oklahoma’s best schools on Saturday. Up to two hundred more people may have been exposed to the test, according to CNN.
The ACT is not the only admission check that has registry disorders in the middle of the coronavirus: the satellite registration SAT was reopened in late May, but academics turned to social media to see the percentage that was still failing.
Another high-risk test, advanced rating exams, was released this spring, with combined results. While some academics were able to pass their exams in May without problems, many parents and academics complained on the College Board’s Facebook page that they had been unfairly excluded from exams because of faulty technology.
