All students must register for ACT Residual Testing online a minimum of one (1) week prior to their selected testing date. No refunds will be issued for no-shows or any cancellations received after 10 a.m., one business day prior to the scheduled test date.

Scores from Residual Testing are reported only to Bethel University offices for admission, course placement and advising purposes.

Eligibility for Students

Residual Testing is conducted at Bethel University for students who: 1) are enrolled, 2) have been admitted, or 3) are applying to Bethel University. Students who do not intend to attend Bethel University are not allowed to participate in ACT Residual Testing on our campus.

Even if a student is only taking one subject test of the ACT, standardization requires that they sit through any preceding subject tests which would typically be offered prior to their subject test before being allowed to begin.

Scores

• Scores from Residual Testing are valid only at Bethel University and cannot be transferred by transcript or other means to any other institution or agency.
• Scores from Residual Testing are reported only to the college administering the test.
• No Student Reports or High School Reports are generated.
• No Additional Score Reports will be generated to report scores to any other institution.

Restrictions

• A minimum of 60 days must elapse before another Residual Test may be taken. Scores achieved before the minimum elapsed time will be cancelled without refund.
• ACT restricts the number of times a student may take the ACT to 12 times total. Residual Testing does count toward that maximum.
