Test Room Policy
Using Your Testing Timers Watch on ACT Test Day
Testing Timers has been approved by ACT for use during the exam. The watch is completely silent and does not have internet, communication, recording, calculator, alarm, or vibration capabilities.
ACT occasionally updates its policies regarding where watches and timing devices must be kept during testing. Under ACT’s current policy, permitted timing devices should be removed and placed on the desk so they remain visible to testing staff.
Always follow ACT’s most current test-day instructions and your proctor’s directions.
In the news
When Testing Timers were first made available for sale, ABC News spoke with the testing companies to understand the rules surrounding watches in the test room. The report found that Testing Timers meet the criteria necessary to be used for the test.
