English Covers:

The English section of the ACT has 75 multiple-choice questions, meaning the highest raw score you can earn is 75. Remember that your raw score is just the total number of questions you answer correctly. Questions you leave blank or answer incorrectly are simply not added to your raw score.

The subscores in the English section are for Usage/Mechanics (40 questions) and Rhetorical Skills (35 questions).

To give a scoring example, say you answer 55 questions correctly in the English section, get 15 wrong, and leave 5 blanks. Your raw score will be 55, the total amount of questions you got right. Using ACT’s table above, we can estimate that a raw score of 55 would get a scaled score of 23.

The ACT English section is a 75-question, 45-minute test. That comes out to just 36 seconds per question! So you will have to work pretty quickly to complete each question before you run out of time.

Also, be aware this is always the first section of the ACT, so you need to be ready to tackle it very early on a Saturday morning. Do some warm-up problems at home so you’re not starting this section cold.

Each English test has five essays or passages, each of which is accompanied by a sequence of multiple-choice questions. Some of the questions ask about specific phrases or sentences in the passage, and some ask about a paragraph or the entire passage as a whole. We will explore what those questions specifically test below.
