Hi! I just wanted to ask, what's the highest possible score on the ACT test? I'm prepping for the exam and I want to set a high goal for myself. Any input is appreciated!
The highest possible score on the ACT test is a 36. The ACT is broken down into four sections: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science, each scored on a scale of 1 to 36. After taking the test, you'll receive a composite score, which is the average of your four section scores rounded to the nearest whole number.
It's great that you're setting a high goal for yourself! Keep in mind that while aiming for a perfect score is ambitious, a score in the 30s is considered very competitive for most colleges and universities. Make sure to focus on understanding the content and test-taking strategies, and practice using official ACT materials. Good luck with your test preparation!
