What is the Residual ACT?

Bluffton University offers the Residual ACT on its campus several times each year (see dates listed below). The Residual ACT is the same ACT test taken through national dates and follows the same format. It is taken on the Bluffton University campus and scored that same day.

Some features of residual testing include:

  • Results are only reported to Bluffton University. No Student Reports or High School Reports are generated, and no Additional Score Reports will be generated to report scores to any other college or recipient.
  • Students may not repeat residual testing until 60 days have passed since their previous testing on a non-national basis (e.g., residual, special).

  • Scores may be used to improve your Bluffton scholarship or admission standing.
