Date: Thursday, December 12
Time: 10 AM CT 
Duration: 60 minutes

Starting in April 2025, the ACT® test will undergo enhancements. We’ve reduced the test by 44 questions, allowing for a more focused assessment experience for students, and students will have the choice to take the science section. These key changes demonstrate how ACT is committed to meet the needs of our students by providing them with choice and flexibility. 

Join us Thursday, Dec. 12 for a detailed overview of these and other upcoming changes, including updates to the ACT Composite score and ACT Superscore. We'll provide a clear implementation timeline, so you can be fully prepared and understand how these adjustments will impact future testing.   

In this one-hour webinar, we will prepare K-12 leaders for enhancements happening to the ACT national offerings beginning spring 2025, as well as the ACT District/School Day Testing updates coming in spring 2026.   

You will learn: 

  • Why the ACT is evolving. 
  • What specific changes are being introduced.
  • What’s staying the same.
  • How the changes support students’ choice and their ability to perform their best on test day. 

Don’t miss this chance to stay informed as we address the specific needs of K-12 education leaders, providing valuable insights to guide your institution through these updates with confidence.
