How ACT Scoring Works

Understanding the ACT Score Scale

The ACT is scored on a scale of 1 to 36 for each section:

English: 75 questions, 1-36
Math: 60 questions, 1-36
Reading: 40 questions, 1-36
Science: 40 questions, 1-36

Composite Score Calculation

Your composite score is the average of your four section scores, rounded to the nearest whole number. This is the score that colleges typically consider.

Example:

If you score 28 in English, 30 in Math, 26 in Reading, and 27 in Science, your composite score would be (28 + 30 + 26 + 27) ÷ 4 = 27.75, which rounds to 28.

Raw Score to Scaled Score Conversion

ACT uses a conversion table to convert your raw score (number of correct answers) to a scaled score (1-36). The conversion varies slightly between different test forms to ensure fairness across test dates.
