New Changes to the ACT Writing Score

Hooray! Finally an end to the confusion! Beginning with the September test date, ACT no longer will report the writing test score on a 1–36 scale. They will instead report the writing score on a 2–12 score range. The contents of the writing test itself, an optional section of the overall ACT test, will remain unchanged.

ACT will release 2016–2017 sample score reports tomorrow (June 29). Visit the ACT Continuous Improvement blog to find the following information related to this announcement and about the score report.
