2025/2026 Testing Dates

FCA will be offering the Digital ACT for students in both Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. Testing dates will be announced and posted as soon as they are available. Registration will take place through the school and not the ACT website, though an account with MyACT.org is needed. 

There have been some major changes to the ACT that are being rolled out over the next year. The changes will not affect any ACT tests at FCA until September 2026, but you will see these changes at all national testing locations starting in Septemeber 2025 (local Saturday test dates). 

What’s Changing?

• Reduced number of questions overall

• Reduced the test length - only 125 minutes now

• Students get more time per question

• Reduced number of answer choices in math questions from five to four

• Students can now choose to take the ACT National test with or without the science section

• New composite score based on Reading, English, and Math sections

• New Stem score if taking the Science section

• Superscore will be based on Reading, English, and Math sections

Until we know more from colleges about the Science section changes, I highly recommend students take the optional Science section. Additional information can be found here.
