Frequently asked questions
Is this an official ACT question paper?
No. It is an independent practice mock containing original questions mapped to the official Enhanced ACT English section format.
How many questions does the official ACT English section have?
50 questions in 35 minutes, testing grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and rhetorical skills. This mock is a shorter 25-question set across the same two skill categories, for focused practice rather than the full official item count.
Does the ACT English score count toward my Composite score?
Yes. Your Composite score is the average of your English, Math, and Reading scaled scores, rounded to the nearest whole number.
Is there negative marking on the ACT?
No. There is no penalty for a wrong or unattempted answer, so it is always worth attempting every question.
