High school students to start new exams in spring 2025
When Illinois high school students sit down to take their annual state assessments next year, they will take a different exam than in recent years.
Both are standardized tests that measure students' proficiency in core subjects such as English language arts and math. Both are also commonly used for college admissions - although many colleges and universities have stopped requiring them - as well as scholarship applications. In recent years, though, many colleges and universities stopped requiring either the SAT or ACT as part of their application and admission processes.requiring all public universities and community colleges to adopt a "test-optional" policy for admissions, meaning students could voluntarily choose whether to include them in their application package. But ISBE continued using the tests as part of its federally mandated statewide assessments.
The state board agreed to open the bidding process and solicit sealed proposals from testing companies at its regular monthly meeting in September 2023. The decision to award a six-year, $53 million contract to ACT was finalized in May.that ISBE has circulated, one of the advantages of switching exams is the ACT includes a science component, whereas the SAT only covered the core subjects of reading, writing and math.
