The ACT
Stay Informed with Huntington Learning Center
The ACT underwent changes throughout 2025 to improve the testing experience and better align with college readiness standards. Huntington Learning Center provides the latest information and strategies to excel in the updated ACT format.
In April 2025, the ACT introduced the new Enhanced ACT, a streamlined version of the exam designed to focus on essential college-readiness skills. Students testing online during the April National Test Day were the first to take this updated ACT Core Test, which includes optional Science and Writing sections. Students taking the paper-based test continued with the previous, full-length ACT for the April, June, and July 2025 test dates.
Beginning with the September 2025 National Test Day, all students testing nationally online or on paper transitioned to the ACT Core Test with optional Science and Writing. Students participating in District or School Day testing—whether online or on paper—continued using the previous full-length ACT through the end of 2025.

Most students should begin testing in their junior year so that they can test more than once and decide which set of scores are sent to colleges or scholarship programs. Repeated testing without building both content knowledge and test strategies can yield lower results, which is why prepping with Huntington is important.
-
Each section of the ACT—English, Math, and Reading—is scored on a scale of 1 to 36. Scores are determined by converting the number of correct answers (raw score) into a scaled score. The Composite ACT score is the average of these three section scores, resulting in an overall score between 1 and 36.
The optional Science section is also scored on a 1–36 scale, based on the number of correct answers. However, this score is not included in the Composite score shown on a student’s score report.
The optional Writing test receives five scores—a single Writing Score and four Domain Scores, each ranging from 2 to 12. The Writing Score is the average of the four Domain Scores.
There are no penalties for incorrect answers, so students should answer every question. Each college or university determines its own ACT score requirements for admission, so it’s important to check with the schools you’re interested in. Students also have the option to choose which ACT scores are sent to prospective colleges.
-
In general, most ACT multiple-choice scores, including the Composite score, are posted to your online student Web account (through ACT) within two weeks after the test date. If you’ve taken the writing portion of the ACT, you will be notified when that score is available.
-
Each ACT section also includes a small number of field test items, which are experimental questions used to evaluate potential future test content. These items are built into the total question count for each section and are mixed in with the scored questions, but they are not identified on test day.
Field test items are not scored and do not affect a student’s scaled section or Composite score. Because students will not know which questions are experimental, they should give every question their full effort.
The current Enhanced ACT includes 10 field test item questions in English, 4 in Math, 9 in Reading, and 6 in Science.
