<p>while doing the practice tests, how do you calculate your score. for example in the first section, if you got 65 out of 75 questions correct, what does that equal?</p>
<p>thanks. this is all new to me .</p>
<p>Depends where you are doing the practice tests from. The real ACT prep book has charts that show you how to calculate the score (it varies for each test). The ACT practice test booklet has a chart on page 64 that shows how to convert the raw scores. On that test 65 out of 75 on English would = a 29. But as I said each test scores a little differently. Here is the link to that if you do not have it (schools should provide the booklet when you sign up for the test)

<p>thanks! that really helps</p>
<p>mind you, the scoring is different for each test... so that key only applies to that test. It is a good indicator though (like +/- 2)</p>
