Hi CC-ers,

I’m relatively new to the ACT, so I have some questions that can probably be answered fairly easily by people who have taken the ACT:


I know there are 2 parts, the multiple choice and the combined writing. Are these 2 scores separate?
Can I take just the multiple choice on one day and then take the combined writing section on a different day? Or do they have to be taken together?
Should I take the combined writing portion?
