<p>How many pages are given to test takers on the ACT Essay portion? And I take it that any writing outside the allotted space given is not read, right?</p>
<p>Four pages if I remember correctly. You won’t run out of space.</p>
<p>It is indeed four pages. That is way beyond what most people can write in half an hour. And correct, what is written outside the space is not considered (but I don’t see why you’d write outside the space).</p>
