Parent Q&A: Using a watch for the ACT
Hi Jason,
My daughter is going to take the ACT again in June for the third time. She is finding it hard to pace herself in Math. Do you know where we can find an easy to read digital watch that the ACT will prove of. We are having a hard time finding one that is a reasonable price.

Laura,
I bought both of my daughters the ACT Pacing Watch by Testing Timers [Click to purchase on Amazon].
Yes, it looks ugly online, but it’s actually quite normal when you get it. It is somewhat expensive but could easily be re-sold to a younger student.
The nice thing about the watch is that it does not beep and already has all five test times programmed into it, so the student simply switches the mode to the correct test.
