 What’s Changing, What’s Staying the Same, and Why It Matters  

1.  A shorter test by 75 fewer minutes and 44 less questions, but the core content and subject areas are the same.  This means less time in the testing environment.

2.  You will have more time per question, but the same skills and knowledge will be assessed to support your college goals and without sacrificing what colleges expect.

3.  The Math section now only has 4 answer choices instead of the previous 5 choices.  This makes Math match the other sections that already have only 4 choices to keep things consistent.

4.  The Reading passages will be shorter but will still measure comprehension and analytical ability.  It reduces mental fatigue while keeping the same standards.

5.  The Science and Writing sections will be optional.  You can choose what sections to take based on your educational goals, requirements and strengths.

6.  Both paper and online options remain so you can choose the best method for yourself.  The ACT Score Scale of 1 – 36 remains unchanged.  Superscoring remains unaffected to build your best Composite score for Math, English and Reading over multiple test efforts.
