ACT will now be offering a July test date for the 2017-2018 school year. The summer ACT is currently scheduled for July 14, 2018. This is very interesting noting that College Board just recently announced their August 26th summer SAT. Is this a coincidence?
According to Education Week, "ACT's Chief Commercial Officer, Suzana Delanghe, said in a statement that the additional test date was added in response to feedback from students, teachers, and colleges, who 'told us they would like to see an extra test date prior to early admission and application deadlines.' She also said the summer date would help students "focus on their coursework" during the school year without having to worry about preparing for a college-entrance exam." Education Week also stated that "Paul Weeks, ACT's senior vice president for client relations, said that in surveying students and families, the company found that all students—not just early-admissions college applicants—wanted a wider variety of testing opportunties."
At Think Tutoring, we have many students needing the summer time to prep. School year demands such as homework, AP exams, extra curricular activities, sports, part-time jobs, and more can be too much for the typical junior. Now, with both SAT and ACT offering summer exams, summer seems to an even be a BETTER time to prep.
Think Tutoring is offering Free SAT and ACT practice tests on July 10 and 11 along with summer specials. Call Think Tutoring at 973-593-0050 for more information. Better scores are just a phone call away.
