       ACT Updates

The ACT is getting substantial updates similar to that of the SAT in the years prior. In summary, the ACT will make the science and writing portions of the test optional. This will heavily impact the amount of time the test will take — taking off 44 questions from the original exam. In doing this, it is meant to specialize testing for certain fields and pathways without putting pressure on the rest of the student populace. If you add writing to your test score you will receive a secondary ELA score, similar with adding science you will receive a STEM score. College admissions counselors advised us that this will not effect the incoming student population going to public universities in the area and private schools reported that they may be moving to the SAT until the ACT can settle its transition. The transition for the ACT is reported to be finished in Spring of 2026 to which all testing will move to the Enhanced ACT. In addition to these changes testing mediums will adjust to include online testing, in person testing, and BYOD testing at schools.
