Hey guys, just a quick question - what's the highest ACT score you can get? Is it out of 36 or something different?
Yes, you're correct! The highest ACT score possible is a 36. The ACT is divided into four sections: English, Math, Reading, and Science, each scored on a scale from 1 to 36. Your composite score is the average of the four section scores, rounded to the nearest whole number. So, a perfect 36 composite score means you scored a 36 on each of the four sections.
