Most important sections in the ACT?

Which sections do colleges really consider? How much importance is given to the Writing section?

The writing section doesn’t even effect your actual score. The writing is less important, although some colleges give it more weight than others. Which sections are most important depend on your future goals. If you want to be an engineer, than math is obviously what colleges will care about most. If you’re into an English major, than colleges will care about your English and reading.

Oh, cool. Thanks!

This is a 2 month old thread but for the record: The first two ACT scores are the most important for schools that look at sub-scores. The final two only add noise to the composite score because they don’t correlate with any outcome measures in a reliable way.

Oh, okay. Thanks!
