<p>I am going to take the ACT in december, but I know NOTHING about it....anyone care to enlighten me? I know that it is out of 36...and that is pretty much it.</p>
<p>Do you get a score out of 36 for the 4 different sections and then do they avg. it out? How long is the test with the writing portion? Any info you have would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks a bundle in advance.</p>
<p>My son took the ACT last year, so I can't address the writing portion. As to the rest, you can make up to 36 on each of the sections. Those 4 were averaged for the composite score (with rounding up of the composite if .5 or greater).</p>
