<p>Okay, so I took the ACT again today for the third time. The first time I got a 32 and the second time I got a 34. I didn't finish two of the math and had to guess on one of the science questions. Besides that, I was very confident in my answers. Is there any way I can still get a 36 composite? And if I get one subject 35, would I still get a 36? I know that three 36's and a 35 average out to 36, but I didn't know if there was another rule saying you had to get all 36's to get a 36. Also, is it true that if you miss one in science, you get a 34? Because I heard that somewhere and if so, that seems like a 35 is impossible, but I got a 35 in science last time (I got a subscore of 18/18 so I don't know how that was a 35). I'm just kind of confused. Thanks!!!!</p>
<p>u can get 3 36's and 2 35's to get a 36. its just the average there is no special rule</p>
<p>thanks, do you know how many you can miss and still get a 36? can you miss any at all?</p>
<p>i would say 3 max but it depends</p>
<p>you mean 3 max for the entire test, right?</p>
<p>It all depends on the curve, which really means scaled score of the individual test version. The ACT rounds up, so two 36's and two 35's will round to a 36 composite. And, three 36's and one 34 will also round to a 36. Leaving two blank on math is almost guaranteed a 34 assuming the rest are correct. But, as you noted, on some Science & Reading test versions missing one is a 34......</p>
<p>There is nothing wrong with the 34 you already have. Missing one on science can mean a 34 or a 35 in the section depending on which test they are using (they have a lot of them). Missing two in math may drop you to 35 or 34 also depending on test. If composite is 35.5 or higher it becomes 36.</p>
<p>Yeah I know a 34 isn't bad, but I wayy want a 36 even though I realize it probably won't raise any of my college chances lol. I'm just hoping i guessed right on the science and im glad my first choice school superscores!</p>
<p>If raising the score 2 points is all you have to concern yourself with in regards to college you are doing great. Where are you applying? Will you be applying for scholarships? If you are applying for scholarships be sure to put as much effort into the essays and details as you are with the test scores.</p>
