There is a specific ACT timer you can but on Amazon. Don’t rely on the room.

$60

Surely, you must have a watch around your house. Here's the ACT instructions:

Watch or Other Timing Device
You may bring a watch, timer, or stopwatch to pace yourself during testing, but it may not have an alarm. Your watch or other timing device must be removed and placed on your desk while in the test room, so that it remains visible to staff during the test. If an alarm sounds, you’ll be dismissed and your test will not be scored.

I bought my kid a $10 watch at Walmart to use during these tests…
