<p>These numbers can't be on a 1-36 scale. Are they even on a scale? What are they supposed to tell me? Thanks</p>

<p>I just saw this on my score report:</p>

<p>“Multiple-choice scores and the Composite score range from 1 to 36; subscores range from 1 to 18. Dashes (–) indicate no score.”</p>

<p>So if I got an 18, that means perfect, right? Does a 17 necessarily mean -1?</p>

<p>A 17 could be a -2, maybe even a -3 though highly unlikely.</p>
