ACT Updates for 2025:
1. Similar to the optional writing section, the science section is now optional. English, reading, and math remain as the core sections of the ACT test that will result in a college-reportable score. Students can choose to take the ACT, the ACT plus science, the ACT plus writing, or the ACT plus science and writing.
2. Three hours to two hours- The new core test will be just 2 hours, compared to 3 hours. To achieve this, the test will include shorter passages on the reading and English sections and fewer questions in each section.
