<p>I know this ACT question is somewhat irrelevant on this board, but "College Admissions" seems to be the most "responsive" board :)</p>
<p>I'm wondering how many questions - if any at all - can one get wrong to still get a perfect score on the ACT (with writing component) ? </p>
<p>A score of 36</p>
<p>I'd reccomend looking at the scoring guidelines in the back of a practice test.</p>
<p>usually 2 questions</p>
<p>Yeah, 2 questions sounds reasonable. Must check my PR book.</p>
<p>i feel like the curve would be different for reading than math. (more tolerable for reading) but 2 sounds reasonable.</p>
<p>act isn't about how many you get wrong, it's how many you get right.</p>
<p>It depends on the section. You can't get 2 wrong on science!</p>
<p>I got two wrong on Reading/Lit and got a 36.</p>
<p>cool.. and congrats austinj thats a killer score</p>
<p>Do you mean 36 composite or 36 in one of the four sections? To get 36 in one of the four sections, you usually need to get them all correct. To get a 36 composite, you can miss 2 or sometimes 3 overall because any 35.5 composite becomes a 36, meaning a 36 composite is accomplished by having two 36s and two 35's in the sections or three 36's and either a 35 or a 34 in one section.</p>
<p>This isn't the relevant place for such a question, but drusba is right. A 35.5 is rounded to a 36 on the ACT.</p>
<p>The ACT is a much better test than the SAT in my opinion.</p>
