The ACT just underwent its most significant transformation in decades, and the changes are game-changing for college-bound students. With July 12th marking the last chance to take the old format, it's time to understand what's coming this September.

Whether you're a rising junior just starting your test prep journey or a senior planning one final attempt, this episode will help you navigate the transition and make strategic decisions that could impact your college admissions success.
