Some colleges and universities require or accept ACT science or writing scores, so you may consider taking the science and writing sections.  \n\n| Test | Questions | Minutes per Test |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\nEnglish 50 (40 scored) 35  Mathematics 45 (41 scored) 50  Reading 36 (27 scored) 40  Science (optional) 40 (34 scored) 40  Writing (optional) 1 essay 40   \nEach of the multiple-choice sections will include some embedded field test items that will not be included in your score. The results of the embedded field test items help develop future test questions. These items are not labeled, so you will not know which items contribute to your score. You should try your best on all items.  \n© 2026 by ACT Education Corp. All rights reserved. Page 2 of 82 QU00002 .CJ22893  \nTest-Taking Strategies  \nTest Strategies for the ACT  \nEach multiple-choice section contains questions with four answers from which you are to choose the correct or best answer. If you do not complete all your sections and want to test again, you will need to re-register and pay for a new test date. Once you access test content, you cannot request a Test Date Change.  \nStrategies to help you prepare for the ACT  \n9 Get familiar with the content of the sections.  \nReview the information in this document.  \nNote which content areas make up a large proportion of the sections. The topics included in each content area are examples of possible topics; they do not include all possibilities.  \n9 Update your knowledge and skills in the content areas.  \nReview content areas that you have studied but that are not fresh in your mind. Refresh your knowledge in the content areas that make up large portions of the test.  \n9 Study content areas you are not familiar with. If some content areas of the ACT are unfamiliar to you, consider taking coursework in those areas before you take the test.  \nTips for Taking the Multiple-Choice Sections  \n9 Pace y","cbCaitJ4GYGkosBp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitJ4GYGkosBp","pdf",1416086,48,"English","# A Message to Students\n# Overview of the ACT\n# Test-Taking Strategies\n## Strategies to help you prepare for the ACT\n## Tips for Taking the Multiple-Choice Sections\n# Taking the Practice Tests\n## Practice Multiple Choice Test\n## Practice Writing Test\n## Practice Answer Document\n## How to Score the Practice Multiple-Choice Tests\n## Scoring the Practice Writing Test\n# Next Steps","[{\"question\":\"What sections make up the ACT test, and what optional parts are available?\",\"answer\":\"The ACT includes three multiple-choice sections: English, mathematics, and reading.
