<p>Do you have to answer all questions correctly on an ACT test to get a 36?</p>
<p>Does anyone have a general scoring chart for the ACT?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>not always, it depends on the curve the ACT sets</p>
<p>Technically, no. For example, you could get 36E, 35M, 35R, 36S and still get a 36.</p>
<p>Well, I meant for an individual exam. For example, I think I only had one question wrong on both my English and Reading exams today, so would that mean that I would have a 35 on each of those exams?</p>
<p>sometimes -1 = 36.. sometimes -1 = 34.. sometimes -1 = 35.. it just depends on how everyone does... on english it's usually 74-75 = 36, 73 = 35, 72 = 34, 71 = 33..... reading is usually -1 = 35... but on the april act it was -1 = 34.. this reading was a little bit harder than the last one i thought, so the curve may be -1 = 35</p>
<p>but it is very likely that you got 35, 36, 35, 36 and pulled off a 36 composite.. it's not uncommon</p>
<p>What about for Science? I thought April's was easier so, normally, a 27 would give me how many wrong?</p>
<p>depending on the difficulty a anywhere from a -6 to a -9 i'd guess</p>
<p>in the reading for april it was -3=32</p>
<p>yeah, april was brutal for reading... -1 = 34... -2 = 33, -3 = 32 etc....</p>
<p>Im not really worried for Reading or English. I just wanted to get a Science score in the mid to high 20's.</p>
<p>yeah, well this science was a little harder and less straightforward than the other science sections in the past.. so i'm guessing the curve will be more generous.. usually from what i've seen, -6 or a -7 = 27 on a normal science section (brutal, i know)... this one may be more like -8 or -9 = 27</p>
<p>i hope so..so around -4 would be around a 31?</p>
<p>So anyone have a score breakdown for how many you can get wrong & score on the high end <em>30+</em> of the science section</p>
<p>usually it's something like -1 = 35, -2 = 34, -3 = 33, -4 = 31, -5 = 29.. something like that... but this time it may be a little bit more lenient</p>
<p>^ I think the scoring is really unpredictable. I took a full length practice a few weeks before i took the April ACT, and I got a 36 on the reading with -1. But on the actual April test I missed one and got a 34 in that section... it really depends on how everyone else in the country does :/</p>
<p>i sure hope most people sucked......bad lol</p>
<p>based off of the Real ACT guide conversion tables the most lenient science curve was -1 = 36 and -10 = 27. i really think that's going to be the science curve. for math and english i think it's going to be -1 =35 and so on until the scores get below 30 scale score. so like -6 = 30. for reading i really don't know. the worst curve in prep guide was -1 = 36 (not too bad!) but after hearing about the April reading curve i really don't know. there was really only one controversial question for the reading section. the rest seemed pretty straightforward so i'm hoping for a not too bad curve. </p>
<p>anyone else have insight into what they think the curve will be??</p>
