THE T.I.R. IS AN INFORMATION RELEASE THAT IS REQUIRED BY SOME STATE LAWS IN ORDER TO BE ALLOWED TO SELL YOUR STANDARDIZED TEST IN THAT STATE. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE LAWS, THE ACT HAS THREE TEST DATES PER YEAR THAT THEY ALLOW THE STUDENT TO ORDER A COPY OF THE TEST AND THE STUDENT'S ANSWER SHEET.  THAT IS WHAT THE TEST INFORMATION RELEASE MEANS. THIS INFORMATION IS EXTREMELY HELPFUL TO ANY UNDERCLASSMEN THAT PLAN TO TAKE THE TEST AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.  IT CREATES A LIVE DIAGNOSTIC FOR THE STUDENT'S USE IN FUTURE TEST PREPARATIONS.  IT COSTS AN ADDITIONAL $20 AND CAN BE ORDERED WHEN REGISTERING FOR THE TEST.
