3h agoSome Brooklyn students are taking
their ACT exams a week later than expected.
Daniela Elliott tells News 12
that she and her daughter were locked outside last week Frederick Douglas
Academy 3.
They were among 100 parents
and students who waited in the cold before finding out that the test was not
being administrated.
Elliott says some of the
parents brought their concerns about the massive miscommunication to the vice
president of global operation at ACT and we’re able to get the test rescheduled
today.
She says it’s just been an added
stress.
“Especially now, it’s like
impossible to be an 11th grader, I feel sorry for these kids,” Elliott says.
The new testing location is
taking place at the New York Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge.
ACT tells News 12 if students
were not able to reschedule their exam for today, they can chance their
registration for a future national test date.
The next scheduled test date
is on April 17.
They can also request a refund
of their registration fees.
