ACT reveals a shorter test and makes Science optional
In June 2024 the ACT, Inc. piloted a shorter test in order to better compete with the digital SAT. A mere five weeks later, and the results are in: the ACT is moving to a shortened format and allowing students to opt in, or out, of the Science section. These changes, which go into effect in spring 2025, will first be implemented in the online format only. The ACT will continue to offer a paper-based test, but they haven’t directly stated whether or when the paper-and-pencil test will also adopt the new, shorter format.
The new ACT will be significantly shorter than the current 3-hour assessment and will clock in at roughly 2 hours, more closely aligning with the 2-hour and 14-minute digital SAT. The ACT test writers are reducing the length of the Reading and English passages and cutting items from every section, allowing students more time per question. Granting students more time will be a welcome relief, as the intense pace of the ACT has challenged students for decades.
