An on-campus, or residual, testing program is provided for ACT-participating colleges to administer the ACT to prospective students who were unable to test on a national test date.

How it Works

• Results are reported only to the college administering the test. No Student Reports or High School Reports are generated, and no additional Score Reports will be generated to report scores to any other institution.

• Testing can be conducted on any date except an ACT national test date.

• Students may not repeat residual testing until 60 days have passed since their previous testing.

 

Testing at Oklahoma State University

 

The residual ACT is offered at the following times:

     Tuesday      1:00 PM

     Thursday     1:00 PM

     Friday         8:30 AM

 

You must call to schedule an appointment to take the test. The cost is $40 and can be paid with cash, check, money order, or credit card. Sixty days must pass between each test.  If you choose to test without sixty days elapsing, your score will be nullified.

Upon arrival, we will provide you with pencils and scratch paper and unlike the national ACT, you are not allowed to write in the ACT book. The testing time is approximately four hours.You MUST present a valid drivers license, state ID card, or passport in order to take the test.

 

After your test, you will receive a “student copy” which is not an official copy. Your residual test scores are for OSU only.  We will send a copy to either OSU-Stillwater, OSU-Oklahoma City, OSU-Okmulgee, or NOC-Stillwater (but not NOC-Tonkawa).

 

You may schedule a residual ACT by contacting the Testing Center. Be prepared to give your name, address, birth date, telephone number, and social security number in order to make an appointment.  We cannot register you without this information.
