The
preferred test for placement at Mineral Area College is the ACT
exam, which is
administered at MAC five times a year, in October, December, February,
April, and June.
Packets containing information about the test as well as an application
are available in the
Student Services office, but you must send your application and
payment directly to ACT
prior to testing. MAC does not accept payment for the test.
You
must arrive at least a half-hour prior to the start of the test
and bring your ACT exam
ticket, which will be sent to you by ACT prior to the test date.
This ticket will have your room assignment information along with
other important info. In addition, a picture
ID is required.
You will not be allowed to test if you do not have your ID.
