Fewer sections, fewer questions, more time – the new ACT format coming in September 2025 is looking very likely to be a preferable option for candidates applying to US universities. On the surface, the ACT now looks like the go-to test.
This webinar will show students how to -
-
Harness the new, slower pacing of the ACT to maximise your score
-
Optimise their section scores with key test strategies
-
Strategise preparation with super-scoring
It will also cover how to decide whether to take the now optional Science section – a key decision depending on your prospective major.

A strong university list is the core strategy behind your entire application. It sets your targets, shapes your workload, and determines your odds. The right Regular Decision shortlist turns your academic profile, interests, budget parameters, and priorities into a plan you can execute: balancing risk across reach, match, and likely choices while protecting time and energy for high-impact tasks.
Drawing on A-List Education’s experience guiding students who apply to broad sets of universities, we’ll share practical, pattern-driven best practices that reflect what works across diverse profiles and subject interests. This webinar will equip students with:
- A step-by-step method to move from a longlist to a final shortlist
- When and how to use Early Decision 2 and Early Action 2 alongside Regular Decision
- A precise way to define reach, match, and likely using current admissions data and context
- Fast fit checks tailored by intended major, course structure, testing policy, and campus environment
- How to plan December work efficiently, including supplemental essay sequencing and key form timelines without duplicating effort
