What is the new, Enhanced ACT test?

In response to the new Digital SAT test rolled out in 2024, competitor ACT also announced that they would overhaul their exam beginning as early as spring 2025. The updated ACT test is shorter (2 hours) and makes the dreaded Science Test optional. Scoring remains on a scale of 1-36, and the test will differentiate itself from the Digital SAT in that it will be offered on both paper and computer.
