<p>Can someone please tell me if the ACT is really curved? If so, how so? Thanks</p>
<p>Yeah -- they curve it to have a normal distribution. This chart shows you the recent percentiles associated with particular scores. <a href="http://www.actstudent.org/scores/norms1.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.actstudent.org/scores/norms1.html</a></p>
<p>So, for instance, someone who is at the 97th percentile of everyone taking the test will get a 30.</p>
