Whats the highest ACT score possible?

Hey everyone, just a quick question - what's the max score I can get on the ACT? Is it the same for all sections or do they differ?

8 months ago

Hey! The highest ACT score possible is a 36. This maximum score applies to all four sections of the test: English, Math, Reading, and Science. Each section is scored individually on a scale of 1-36, and then those scores are averaged to calculate your composite score, which also ranges from 1-36. So, to get a perfect ACT score, you'd have to achieve a 36 on all four sections. Keep in mind that getting a perfect score is quite rare, but aiming for a high score aligned with the admission requirements of your target schools is a great strategy. Good luck with your ACT preparation!
