how do college look at ACT scores

Test Preparation ACT Preparation

<p>when people list their SAT scores, they would add a verbal+math score by the side</p>

<p>When i see college profiles listing middle 50% ACT scores, they have an extra English+math score by the side. </p>

<p>Correct me if i’m wrong, but English tests one’s grammar skills right? and Verbal tests reading comprehension skills. So why don’t they add Reading+math, instead of English?</p>

<p>From my experience, English seems to test grammar and general writing skills, such as what sentence sounds best.</p>

<p>Like everyone will tell you, the ACT only test how good you are at taking the ACT.</p>
