i'm new to the ACT

<p>My SAT scores suck 1720...how is the ACT graded. All I know is that you dont get penaltized for ones you get wrong but how does it work</p>

<p>bump>>!>!>!></p>

<p>It is based off the total number correct.
There are four sections, plus an optional essay. The sections are English, Reading, Math, and Science Reasoning. Each of those is graded on a 1-36 scale. The composite is the average of the sections. Any specific questions?</p>

<p>(Please don't bump after only 45 minutes, wait a day or two.)</p>
