<p>I'm just wondering</p>

<p>which ACT sections are the most important</p>

<p>from what i'm hearing, English + Math is considered most important. If so, I'm ecstatic</p>

<p>36 English
35 Math</p>

<p>then</p>

<p>31 Reading</p>

<p>then</p>

<p>28 science <---------------- how much emphasis is put on this section</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that there is no section of the ACT considered more or less important…</p>

4

<p>I’m pretty sure that they are all weighted equally. They primarily look at your comp score.</p>

5

<p>How your scores are interpreted will depend in part on the major field you are interested in. </p>

<p>Talk to your guidance counselor about what scores like yours have meant for students at your HS in the past.</p>

<p>There are many colleges that consider the math and English section the more important. There are none I am aware of that consider the science section more important than any others. There are some colleges (GTech and Rose-Hulman are two examples) that use only the math and English section for admission and ignore composite, reading, and science (yes, those engineering schools ignore the science section).</p>
