Does the ACT round up or down?

Applying to College

<p>I.E. If you have scores of 25, 27, 26, 33 = 111 (an average of 27.75), would the ACT award you a composite score of 27 or 28?</p>

2

<p>round up

3

<p>round up 100% positive</p>

Your Composite Score and each Test Score (English, Math, Reading, Science) range from 1 (low) to 36 (high). The Composite Score is the average of your four Test Scores, rounded to the nearest whole number.

<p>They round to the nearest whole number, which means they can round up or down. With an average ending in .5, they presumably round up. </p>

<p>I'll just add on to increase the positive say- they definitely, 100% add up (well, as long as you've got that .5).</p>

<p>It's why I'm a tad bit upset that one of my sections wasn't just 1 point higher- my score ended in .25</p>

<p>Same here, one lousy quarter of a point from a 34.</p>

<p>Round up. That's how my friend got a 35 (he had a 34.5)</p>

<p>Now he goes to Yale :D</p>
