When does the ACT start?

Hello everyone, I'm planning to take the ACT soon but I'm kinda unsure about what time the test actually starts? Does it vary by testing center or is there a fixed time? Can someone please help me with this?

The ACT typically starts at 8:00 AM local time. However, you shouldn't aim to arrive at exactly 8:00 AM. Test-takers are usually required to arrive at their designated test center by 7:45 AM.

This can vary slightly at different testing centers, so it's always important to carefully read the instructions provided by the ACT and your test center. The specific reporting time for your test should be printed on your admission ticket, which is provided after registration.

Remember, it's always better to arrive earlier than your report time to avoid any last-minute rush. You'll want to get settled in, be mentally prepared for the test, and have a little time to relax before you start.
