ACT announces major changes for spring 2025: shortening core test, making science section optional in college admissions exam.

Major changes are coming to the ACT college admissions exam in spring 2025, including shortening the core test and making the science section optional, announced Janet Godwin, CEO of ACT. The science section will be removed from the ACT's core sections, leaving English, reading, and math as portions resulting in a college-reportable composite score. The changes will begin with national online tests in spring 2025 and be rolled out for school-day testing in spring 2026.
