The “ACT” Test is a set of four multiple-choice tests that cover English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science. The ACT Plus Writing includes the four multiple-choice tests and an optional Writing Test. Each section of the test is scored on a scale of 1-36 on each section of the test (English, Math, Reading, and Science), and a composite score, an average of the four sections, is also reported. The composite score falls between 1-36. The national average score is about 21.
