Starting next year, high school juniors across Illinois will likely be taking the federally-mandated state college entrance exam — the ACT. Illinois students have been taking the SAT college entrance exam for the past eight years after 15 years when the other major national exam — the ACT — was used. The state board has begun the process of awarding a three-year, 53-million dollar contract to ACT. The ACT would be administered beginning with the 2024-2025 school year but students could still take the SAT if they pay for it.
