Illinois May Move From ACT to SAT for Statewide Testing

Illinois may shift from the ACT to the SAT for a statewide program to offer a college admissions test, The Chicago Tribune reported. ACT has filed a complaint, charging an inappropriate decision process, so the move is not final. Students of course may opt to use either test for their individual applications, but statewide contracts generally encourage students to at least start with the test used statewide.
