Abstract	Historically, a large and disproportionate share of students who register for an ACT national test date with a fee waiver have not subsequently taken the test on their registered test date. In this issue brief, this phenomenon is referred to as "test-day absenteeism." This is the second brief in a series of studies that investigate ACT's fee waiver program. The first brief, "Use of Fee Waivers to Register for the ACT," summarizes the number and percentage of ACT national test date registrations that were completed with a fee waiver between the 2014-2015 and 2018-19 school years. This brief provides an overview of test-day absenteeism during the same five school years among students who registered for ACT national test dates with fee waivers. Like the first brief, this brief focuses on ACT registrations and not individuals. Although it sometimes refers to "students," ACT "registrations" and not individual students are the unit of analysis in this brief. The focus is on registrations because students could register to take the ACT on more than one test date and because students who were eligible for fee waivers could use up to two fee waivers to register for the ACT. Given this focus on registrations, the results include students who may have registered and tested multiple times in this five-year window. [For the first brief in this series, "Use of Fee Waivers to Register for the ACT. ACT Research & Policy. Issue Brief," see ED613540.] (ERIC).
