Hey guys! As I start to study for the ACT, I was wondering what the perfect score is? I know it's definitely a high benchmark, but I just want to know to set a goal for myself. Thanks in advance!
Hey there! The perfect score on the ACT is a 36. The test consists of four sections: English, Math, Reading, and Science, each scored on a scale of 1-36. Your composite score is the average of the four section scores, rounded to the nearest whole number. While achieving a 36 is quite an accomplishment, it's important to remember that colleges evaluate your entire application, not just your test scores. Focus on doing your best and aim for a score that is competitive for the schools you're interested in. Good luck with your studying!
