ACT Updates in 2025: What You Need to Know
The ACT, a cornerstone of college admissions, is undergoing significant changes in 2025. These updates are set to roll out in two phases: one in April and another in September. For students and families preparing for college, staying informed about these updates is crucial to make the best decisions for standardized testing.

For students and families preparing for college, staying informed about these updates is crucial to make the best decisions for standardized testing.
ACT vs. SAT: A Quick Comparison
When it comes to college admissions, both the ACT and SAT are equally accepted at colleges across the United States. However, there are key differences between the two tests, especially with the upcoming ACT changes.
Format: The SAT has already transitioned to a fully digital and adaptive test format. The ACT will follow suit with a digital test option beginning in April 2025, but it will remain non-adaptive and continue to offer a paper option.
Length: Both tests are just over two hours long, but the ACT has optional sections—Science and Writing—that extend the test by up to 80 additional minutes if chosen.
Science and STEM: While the SAT integrates science concepts into its Math and Verbal sections, the ACT features a separate Science section and offers a composite STEM score, adding an edge for students pursuing science, technology, engineering, or math-focused fields.
Calculator Use: The SAT provides a built-in graphing calculator, while the ACT allows students to bring their own.
For a more detailed breakdown of the two tests, including tips for choosing the right one for your goals, feel free to contact Liddane Tutoring.
Why Do These Changes Matter?
The updates to the ACT reflect the evolving nature of standardized testing, particularly in the shift toward digital formats. These changes may impact how students prepare, how they experience the test, and even how colleges evaluate their scores.
At Liddane Tutoring, we specialize in helping students navigate standardized tests like the ACT and SAT, ensuring they feel confident and prepared for success.
