Changes to the ACT

ACT now offers an online testing option at select locations nationwide. ACT's online testing experience provides students with more choice, flexibility, and accessibility while maintaining the reliable and valid standards of the ACT test.

Starting in April 2025, students who choose to test online will have more flexibility and choice, experience a shorter test, and get more time to respond to each question. 

Beginning with the September 2025 test, all students testing on a Saturday, either online or on paper, will experience these benefits. Schools and districts will have these options starting in spring 2026.
