Overview
The ACT Science section will become optional beginning with the April 2025 test. The data file remains largely unchanged, but there is one new field and new values being used as highlighted below. Technical updates will be unnecessary for most institutions.
The field names and locations of most commonly used ACT data (composite and/or section scores, etc.) remain unchanged. The changes highlighted in the file focus on how the Composite scores are calculated, either using four sections (ERMS—English, Reading, Math, Science) or three sections (ERM—English Reading, Math).
Summary of Changes
Updated Field
One field with new values:
- Score Type [Single_HighTest]
- New values = Single_Full_ERM, Single_Full_ERMS, Highest_Full_ERM, or Highest Full ERMS indicating the scoring formula used for the Composite score.
- This field is not mapped in any of the TargetX-delivered Informatica tasks.
New Field
A new field to indicate the scoring formula that was used for super score composite calculation:
- Superscore Composite Type [Sup_Comp_Type]
- Values = ERM, ERMS
- It is not necessary to map in any of the TargetX-delivered Informatica tasks.

With the February ’26 Recruitment Manager release, TOEFL test score fields accept decimal values in 0.5 increments to support the 1–6 scale, and the new fields let you capture both legacy and updated TOEFL scores.
