SUBJECT: 
ACT Scores from the 11th Grade State Testing to be Reissued

The following information was received from USBE regarding the 11th grade administration of the ACT. Schools should consider sharing this information with 11th grade students and their parents.

Status Update: ACT Online Scores to Be Reissued

  • ACT has announced that there is an issue with ACT scores from the Utah Spring Online Administration.
  • Please see the following from ACT about the issues:
    • Based on our continual evaluation of scores, we have discovered the need to reissue scores for students who took the online ACT during spring state and district testing. This is based on an update to the process used to ensure all scores are accurate for all students regardless of when and how they take the test. We conducted additional analysis and confirmed that this need is not related to the design of the enhanced ACT, the introduction of embedded field test items, or the new Composite score calculation. We are confident that the process outlined for rescoring will result in fair and accurate scores for all students.
    • Effective Wednesday, May 13, students who took the online ACT during spring state and district testing will see their scores from those administrations removed from MyACT. They will have their scores available in MyACT after the rescoring process is complete.
    • To facilitate the rescoring and keep students informed, they will see a message upon logging in to MyACT alerting them of the temporary delay in their access to these scores.
    • The process of rescoring tests will begin immediately after scores are removed from MyACT and will go through all validation processes before being made available to affected students. All affected students will have access to their scores from this administration before June 2.
    • For districts and schools, current scores will remain in the Success environment. Revised scores will be loaded to Success on a rolling basis, and we will communicate with you and your districts when your students’ revised scores have been uploaded to that system.
  • We, at USBE, will continue to monitor the situation and will update you as we learn more.
  • School and LEA ACT test coordinators can expect an email from ACT within the next few days.
