 It's official. The ACT is under renovation. But before you start cheering, you should hear the changes first. Science will be optional on the ACT. For those Bruins who do not like science, now you may cheer. For those who are wondering about math, better luck next year. Don't mob for long, though. The test is shorter. From three hours long to two hours long and 44 less questions in the reading and English sections, these two sections will also have shorter passages. This will allow students to have more time to answer each question.
