The test has four sections: English, Math, Reading, and Science, with an optional Writing section (which is required by most selective schools if ACT scores are submitted).
•
Each section (with the exception of Writing) is scored on a maximum scale of 36. A composite score, the average of all 4 sections, is also provided in the tester's results.
•
Unlike the SAT, wrong answers are not penalized, so a wild guess is an acceptable strategy on any question
•
The Science section does not test specific subject knowledge but, instead, the ability to interpret charts, graphs, and other means of displaying quantified data.
•
The test, even with the optional writing section, is somewhat shorter than the SAT (a little over three hours).
