As of this month, the ACT is
no longer offering the July 2018 test date in New York or California:
With the new July test date this year, the ACT is now offered on seven national test dates each year. Unfortunately, ACT is unable to offer all test dates to students in New York and now California because their “Truth in Testing” laws would require us to release another test form each year beyond those that we already release, and that is cost-prohibitive for us....
California requires that a testing company release 50 percent of the tests it administers. The statute specifically requires that, if that number includes fractions of a test, the number be rounded up; so, administering six tests would require releasing three of them, but administering seven tests would require releasing four. ACT is forgoing its July test date in California so that we may comply with those requirements.
Students who were planning to take the ACT this summer will have to schedule for the upcoming
April, June, or September dates instead.
