Test Information Release (TIR) is a service offered by ACT that provides test-takers with access to detailed materials from their exam. By purchasing TIR, you can receive a digital copy of the multiple-choice test questions, your answers, a copy of your answer document, the answer key, and the conversion table used to determine your ACT scores. If you took the optional writing test, you will also receive a copy of the writing prompt, the scoring rubric, and your essay scores.
You can expect the digital TIR materials to be available through your MyACT account a few weeks after your test scores are released. If you requested alternate formats (for example, due to a disability) during your testing, these materials may take up to eight weeks to process and ship, depending on your specific needs.
Important Note: These materials are the confidential, copyrighted property of ACT, Inc. They are not to be copied, reproduced, sold, scanned, emailed, or otherwise transferred without prior express written permission from ACT, Inc.

Special Conditions for June 2024 Test
In June 2024, ACT is conducting a special study involving a shortened version of the ACT test. During this session, some students will take a version with fewer questions and more time per question, while others will take the full ACT. If you are participating in this study, your scores will not be eligible for Test Information Release.
Also, scores for the June 2024 test will be delayed as they will go through additional study-related analysis before being released.
Conclusion
Test Information Release offers a valuable opportunity for you to review your ACT test in detail. By purchasing TIR, you can gain insights into the test questions, your performance, and the scoring system, helping you make informed decisions for future test-taking. Make sure to check eligibility and registration deadlines to take full advantage of this service!
