ACT Scoring
The ACT is scored on a range from 1(low)-36(high). Average score is a 21.
How is the ACT scored? ACT counts the number of questions on each test that you
answered correctly. (no deduction for incorrect answers) ACT converts the # of questions correct on each section to a
“scale score”. (Ex: 32/40 questions correct on Science would equal a number between 1-36, say a “28”)
ACT averages the four subjects to give you a composite score. (Ex: Math-19, English-23, Reading-24 & Science-22 Composite Score of 22)
