8filltheheart Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) The science reasoning section will be optional. The number if questions will be reduced to allow more time per question. The base test will only be 2 hrs. https://leadershipblog.act.org/2024/07/test-enhancements.html?m=1#:~:text=The new core test willto answer each question thoughtfully https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/16/us/act-college-entrance-test-changes/index.html Edited July 17 by 8filltheheart Originally read April, but cant find that reference again.

maize Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I just saw this today and came over to see if it had been discussed here. The ACT and SAT seem to grow ever more similar to each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Because ALL the tests need to be different for my last born who needs more prep than the older ones! Keeps me from getting lazy??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 It sounds like they are moving it online for 2025 (??) Do you all know if it will be adaptive like the SAT is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DS17 did the online ACT for school day testing this spring. It was not adaptive. Basically a cookie-cutter reproduction of the paper test, but on the computer. He did not like it as much. (Can't go back and check your work top to bottom), so took a paper version in June, but actually did about the same overall (did worse on two sections, but better on the other two). His superscore went up by a point at least! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 My dd is a rising junior. I guess she will try to take it one more time (she took a quick one for a summer program in dec of 10th grade and got a serviceable score but would like to improve) before the changes and then take it after it changes and maybe she will benefit from being in a group that was able to take both tests and see which was better for them? I don’t know…trying to find a silver lining to being caught in transition. She is currently prepping for the SAT thinking that might be better for her. But I suspect she will have a similar score regardless of ACT/SAT/new ACT. She is very consistent and her practice test scores always seem to make sense. Maybe one of these tests will be magic for her. Lol. She is my last and I will be glad to be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
