<p>Can you miss one question on the math section and still get a 36 on math? (I missed the ceilings, floors, walls question because i cant read and didnt realize that they wanted all 6 sides ughh)</p>
<p>Generally, the only test on which you can get a 36 without a perfect score is reading, sorry.</p>
<p>It depends on the curve, really…</p>
<p>happened on the sept test</p>
<p>If it happens again I’ll be ecstatic because I only missed 1 too. =/</p>
<p>I doubt it. The October math section was extremely easy. It did happen in September, but that section was a beast compared to this one.</p>
<p>Expect -1 to be a 35 this time around.</p>
<p>PS they didnt want all six sides- they only wanted 4 (the walls)</p>
<p>they wanted ceiling and floor also</p>
<p>yeah math was really easy this time
oh and iambored you are really wrong stop spreading that. like 10 people have already said it included ceiling and floor</p>
<p>they only time i’ve seen a -1 curve is the sept. one. the math was closer to the Math II test than a typical ACT test.</p>
<p>this one is bound to have a -0 curve.</p>
<p>i have the q&a from december 2007 and april 2008 and -1 was a 36 on both tests…but i think this test was easier</p>
<p>for every section, mult your raw score by 36 and divide by how man q’s were in that section. that’s your scale score, or somehwere near it lol</p>
<p>ie 37/40 on science is 37 x 36 / 40. which is whatever that is. and that’s your scale score</p>
<p>If that’s how they do it then there’s no curve at all you get whatever percentage of the total 36 points as the percentage of the questions you got right which would mean that a minus one is always 35 on every section except English since that has so many questions (and even then it barely rounds up being 35.52 with a minus 1).</p>
<p>I doubt it. As everyone else said, minus 1 is typically a 35 on the Math section.</p>
<p>Yeah what was.pup said is definitely not how the exams are scored. That may give a rough estimate of what you get, but the fact is that the exams are graded on a curve. If they were scored that way, more difficult exams would be graded the same way as easier ones which would not be fair at all.</p>
<p>^ They look at all of the scores of the exams (how many you missed in each section) and compares it to everyone else. They usually use (I think) the past exams to figure out the percentages of what the score should be.</p>
<p>-1 will be 35. Math was easy… even for me, and I got a 640 on SAT math… <_<</p>
<p>The science portion for my test was -1 still 36. Don’t know about the reading. Math my -1 brought me down to 35.</p>
<p>Happened last December :P</p>
