Could this be a 36 composite?

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

<p>Math: -1
English: -0
Reading: -3 (I know you can always get -2 for a 36, so this subscore may be a 35...)
Science: -0</p>

<p>(I'm pretty certain about the Math/Reading scores; English/Science, I just haven't found any wrong yet...English is normally really good for me. Science, I breezed through this time, so hopefully that's a good sign. However, I found out I may have misinterpereted a minor part of a data set in one passage, but the good news is, thinking about it, I don't think it really impacted my answers for the questions about it [I interpereted it partially correctly])</p>

<p>Anyway, what do you think this would be?? Would these scores be a 36? If I get -2 in science or something, what'll that be? Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m no expert but I imagine that will even out to a 35. I dont think science has as much weight as the other sections though. I got a 30 in science, 33 math, 35 english and 36 reading and my score was a 34 comp…</p>

<p>science has just as much weight as the other sections… you just add up the four scores and divide by 4.</p>

<p>You got a 33.5 and it rounded up to a 34</p>

<p>i feel like it’d be:</p>

<p>english: 36
math: 36
reading: 35
science: 35…ish</p>

<p>yeah, it’ll probably be more like a 35 in the end.</p>

<p>if you get a 35.25, don’t they still round up?</p>

5

<p>Nope. If i got a 35.35 I’d die.</p>

<p>Idk liv4physicsz. I got a 34 reading on the April ACT and only missed 1 question. Missing 3 on reading is at the worst a 32 so if you get 36 english and science, and sayyy, a 35/36 math even with that 32, itll still be a 35 composite at the least.</p>

<p>^ the april ACT was especially brutal with the curve. Usually, a -2=36 on the ACT.</p>

8

<p>i hope so! a lot of these sections sound like they troubled CCers more than usual…and this is CC we’re talking about…so hopefully the curve’s gracious!!!</p>

<p>i know i got -3 in reading, -1 in math, and i think -1 in english…i’m just hoping for at least a 34. i’d be elated with a 35, and over the moon with a 36! :)</p>

<p>English: 36
Math: 35
Reading: 35/34
Science: 36</p>

<p>Composite: Either a 35 or 36.
If you missed 2 on science… that would be a 33/34 score.</p>

<p>Jalli, I don’t doubt that -2 has been a 36 on ACT reading before. I am just wondering where you get that number from? I would like to know because I would love that kind of curve.</p>

<p>-2 = 36 on reading was on one of the red book practice tests, from what I’ve heard.</p>

<p>However, I’m pretty sure -2 = 36 is not a certain thing for every Reading test.
In fact, I’m positive that -2 = 36 on Reading is rare.
A generous curve for reading would be considered -1 = 36, -2 35, -3 34, etc… or -1 35, -2 35, -3 34, etc.</p>

<p>In the case that we get a -2 = 36, there’d probably be a skip at like, 34 or 33, possibly even 35?
So it’d be -2 = 36, -3 34, -4 33, etc.
Or -2 = 36, -3 35, -4 33, etc…</p>
