However, section retesting was postponed, and no further updates have been made as to whether it might still happen. The same goes for online testing: no recent updates. As of now, the ACT is still a paper-and-pencil exam for students taking it in the United States. A computer-based version of the paper-and-pencil ACT is offered in some states and school districts on schoolday test dates only as well as at international testing centers. As for national ACT test dates, these are all still paper exams. The ACT content and scoring are the same for its paper-based and computer-based formats.

Learn more about SAT and ACT changes by visiting the College Board and ACT websites.

Taking SAT and ACT tests is important

Bernstein reminds parents that even with some colleges and universities being test-optional, taking SAT and ACT tests is worthwhile. “Strong SAT or ACT scores can open up opportunities for students to earn scholarships and direct admission into certain colleges or programs within a university,” he says. “Also, strong scores can help strengthen a student’s overall profile, especially if they are trying to counterbalance a GPA that isn’t as high as they want it to be.

Scores help round out the picture for admissions officers of a student’s academic abilities.”

SAT and ACT test prep with Huntington is an excellent way to improve a score and open the door to more competitive colleges. “Huntington begins every program with a comprehensive evaluation that identifies a student’s strengths and weaknesses,” Bernstein explains. “We feel it is important to personalize each student’s SAT/ACT test prep program to their abilities and goals. In a Huntington test prep program, students strengthen their knowledge, learn test-taking tips that will help them on the exam, get comfortable taking practice exams and improve their confidence.”Learn more about Huntington’s exam prep tutoring for the SAT and ACT by calling 1-800 CAN LEARN.
