how do they grade the ACT?
Is the Grading any different than the SAT? Do wrong answers still take off 1/4 of a point?

Hi Lauren,

Yes, the grading is different on the ACT. In addition to differences in ways they compute your score mathematically, the ACT DOES NOT take off points for wrong answers. You should still follow the rules of good guessing (answer the easiest ones first, eliminate choices, be on the watch for "too easy" answers) though!
