The ACT Test: Tennessee

1. Use the training content in ACT Now to access test administration resources and walk-through test administration preparation activities.
2. Dates and deadlines for your test administration are in ACT Now. Access the filterable schedule of events from your ACT Now landing page.
3. Watch for emails from ACT with important reminders. Add our email address to your contacts to prevent emails from going to spam/junk folders. Whitelist email addresses from @act.org and @operations.act.org.

Tip: All ACT Polices need to be thoroughly read and agreed to in TCM, accessed through ACT Now. If you are serving as your site's Test Coordinator and Room Supervisor, you only need to agree to the training modules for the Test Coordinator. The information found in the Room Supervisor modules are captured in the Test Coordinator Modules.
