A brief article detailing the latest updates to the student computer-based assessment experience
On the computer-based version of the ACT, new tools were added to further help improve the student experience while ensuring students have everything they need to be successful. At CERT, we quickly worked to mimic exactly what students do on ACT's computer-based assessment, providing the same tools.
