ACT Launches Enhanced Digital Format Amid Declining Scores


The ACT (American College Testing), a key standardized test for college admissions in the U.S., has rolled out a new “enhanced” format starting this testing season. This move comes as ACT scores in 2023 dropped to a 30-year low.

Key Changes in the ACT 2025

  • Digital Availability: Like the SAT, students can now take the ACT online for a smoother and faster experience.
  • Shorter Sections: Test lengths have been reduced to help students stay focused and avoid fatigue.
  • Instant Results: Full section scores will be available almost immediately after completing each section.
  • Optional Science Test: The science section is no longer mandatory.
  • Flexibility: Both paper-based and online formats remain available.

For Indian students aiming at U.S. universities, this update means a faster, more student-friendly test experience.
