In its new format, the ACT takes less time to complete (only 125 minutes), there are fewer questions in each section (with more time per question), math questions have only four answer choices instead of five, English and Reading passages are shorter, and the science section is optional.
Beginning in April 2025, students can choose to take the ACT on paper or online. The new format will be introduced in April 2025 for online ACT tests only. From September 2025 forward, all ACTs will be given in the new format.

ACT now provides students with practice in the new digital format. Unfortunately, only a single official full-length online ACT practice test is offered, separated into section tests (English, Mathematics, Reading, Science).
To find the sample test, go to ACT Official Online Practice Tests, and click the button near the bottom marked "Launch ACT Free Online Tests" (you'll first need to create a MyACT account).
