HECA Webinar: Sharpening Our Testing Guidance for the Class of 2026 and Beyond (as ACT is poised to create quite a mess to clean up in 2025)
Thursday, November 7, 2024 (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM) (EST)
Description
Now in the fifth year since a broad reframing of the role of admission tests, the policy landscape remains a confusing mess and the testing agencies continue to "innovate" in ways that do not necessarily benefit all stakeholders. Join us to delve further into the current state of affairs, including an in-depth discussion of the likely ramifications of ACT's planned changes. We will provide updated useful insights into how to effectively guide juniors through their testing options, foreshadow the ways in which colleges will need to adapt their testing policies to allow for an optional ACT Science section and a Composite that will not include Science by default, and help you feel up to the minute in your nuanced understanding of the current state of testing as the class of 2026 moves into prime test-taking season.
