ACT
- Residual
|
| Purpose | Most colleges require either the ACT or SAT for admission. The University of Utah will accept either one. |
| Explanation | The
ACT comes in two versions, Residual and National. Both
versions are produced by the same company, and they are essentially the
same test. The most important difference is that the
Residual ACT
is only valid at the school where it is taken and scored.
The advantages of taking the Residual ACT at the University of Utah are the following:
The disadvantages of taking the Residual ACT are:
|
| Cost | $40.00 |
| Schedule | Thursdays,
at 10:00 a.m. The test usually ends around 2:00 p.m. It is not given in October, on holidays, or during any other official University break. |
| Location | Testing Center, Room 498 of the Student Services Building |
| Registration | Candidates must pre-register and pay for the test at least one day in advance. This can be done in person by coming into the Testing Center, or over the telephone with a credit card by calling (801) 581-8733. Space is limited, so it is best to register as soon as possible before all the available slots are taken. |
| Identification | Photo Identification (drivers license, school I.D. card, passport, etc.) is required for admittance to the test. |
| Calculators | A basic calculator is permitted, but not necessary. (A Texas Instruments TI-86 or lower is acceptable.) Candidates must supply their own. Programmable, printing, and QWERTY keyboard calculators are not permitted. |
| Scores | A score report print-out will be available within one week of testing. (Generally you actually receive the print-out immediate following the exam.) The results are only valid at the University of Utah. |
| Preparation | Study guides are available at most bookstores and libraries. Preparatory classes are taught by the University of Utah's Youth Education Office, telephone: (801) 581-6984. |
| Retakes | Candidates must wait 60 days before retaking the Residual ACT, but may take the National ACT immediately. |
