If the digital ACT freezes, raise your hand. Do not refresh on your own or reboot unless staff tell you to. Time adjustments are their job.
What you do
- Stop clicking.
- Tell the proctor the screen is stuck.
- Wait for a resume or a move to another device.
Chromebook practice: practice on a Chromebook.
The bottom line
A freeze is a staff problem. Hands up, then sit. Do not become the IT department during Math.
Start practicing
Start with a free diagnostic, then drill your weak spots with 15-question quizzes and track how you're doing across Reading, English, and Math. Compare plans whenever you're ready to go further.
