       The ACT calculator policy is designed to ensure fairness for all examinees, avoid
       disturbances in the test room, and protect the security of the test materials.

       •    A permitted calculator may be used on the ACT mathematics test only.

       •    It is your responsibility to know whether your calculator is permitted.

       •    For the most current information on the ACT calculator policy, visit
            www.act.org/calculator-policy.html or call 800.498.6481 for a recorded message.

       •    If your calculator has characters one-inch high or larger, or a raised display, test staff
            may seat you where no other examinee can see your calculator.

       •    Examinees testing online will have a calculator available within the testing system.

       •    Examinees may use only one calculator at a time. If testing online, use the system
            calculator or the hand-held calculator.
