ACT Announces Shorter Test with Optional Science Section – an Unqualified Win for Students
Beginning in spring 2025, the ACT will introduce a shorter, 2-hour test, making the Science section optional—a significant departure from the test’s roots. This change aims to compete with the digital SAT and provide students with more time per question, reducing potential fatigue and time-pressure. The new test will debut in an online format, potentially accelerating the ACT's transition to a broader adoption of digital assessments.

Get Ahold of Summer Screen Time
Kids might not think much of being glued to their phones all summer, but too much unregulated screen time has a cost. Phones (and their apps!) can distract from boredom and introspection, stifling creativity and self-awareness. This month, Jed Applerouth, Ph.D. explores the value of encouraging screen-free activities and modelling healthy device habits to foster deeper engagement and self-reflection.
