Hey, quick question here. I know for the SAT, the maximum score is 1600, but what about the ACT? What's the highest possible score you can get? Thanks in advance.
Indeed, every standardized test has its highest possible score and for the ACT, that maximum score is 36. This score is calculated by averaging the scores on the four multiple-choice sections (English, Math, Reading, and Science), each of which also has a maximum score of 36. Remember that getting the maximum score is quite rare and anything above a 30 is considered excellent. Always aim for a score that is competitive for the particular colleges you're interested in!
