Illinois is considering switching from the SAT to the ACT for all high school students, Chalkbeat Chicago reported.

The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE), the body that governs all public education in Illinois, has started the process to sign a 53 million dollar contract with ACT Inc. Chalkbeat reported. This contract will replace the contract that ISBE has with College Board, the company that governs SAT testing, which is set to run out on June 30, Chalkbeat reported.

The Federal Government requires that all students take an accountability assessment in high school, such as the SAT or ACT to receive their diploma and graduate, Chalkbeat reported. Illinois used the ACT as their standardized test until 2016, when the state decided to switch, Chalkbeat reported.

According to the new contract, ACT Inc. will provide all Illinois public schools with assessments for freshman, sophomores and juniors, Chalkbeat reported. Students will still be allowed to take the SAT, however they will have to pay for the test out of their own pocket, Chalkbeat reported. It currently costs $60 to take the SAT, according to the College Board website.

This move comes as more colleges such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Georgetown, and University of Florida are requiring students to submit SAT or ACT scores, the Washington Post reported.
