ACT Writing Test

As of February 2005, ACT has added an optional Writing Test. The optional Writing Test asks students to produce a single essay in thirty minutes, explaining their position in response to a writing prompt. The writing prompt introduces two viewpoints on a single issue that is relevant to high school students.

The purpose of the ACT Writing Test is to test your understanding of the conventions of standard written English and your ability to produce a clear and effective sample of writing.


Who Should Take the ACT Writing Test

The Writing Test is required by some colleges and recommended by others. Find out here if the college to which you are applying requires the Writing Test.

ACT Writing Test Scores

Students who take the optional Writing Test will have two additional scores on their report. One Writing score (ranging from 2 to 12), and one combined English/Writing score (ranging from 1 to 36).
