Hi. So you guys know that there’s a new grading system on act writings, with four subscores scaled from 2-12. I got three 10s and one 8, but my writing on a 36 scale is only 27, which doesn’t make a lot of sense to me…
Could someone please explain to me how the grades are worked out…? Thanks!
My English was 33. My friend who took the old act got an 8 on writing, 34 on English and got a 31 on combined english/writing…
Add together your subscores and multiply by 3 over 4. This should be at or just above (up to ~2 points) your essay score.
In your case, your range is approximately 26.5 - 28.5, so a 27 makes sense.
Thanks! I got a composite of 35, and the writing just seem really low for me :(. But Thank you!
Really clever way of finding your score! You definitely earned your high scores!
