<p>I searched on google and no where could I find how to calculate individual subscores for sections, i just did the english portion and missed 8 questions, so how do I then calculate the subscore out of 36? What about for the other sections as well? Thanks for any help.</p>
<p>Go to ACT.org and look at their practice test. It’s a full practice test. Skim down to about page 78 and print that out (not exactly, but it’s the page where they give the scores for missing a certain amount of problems). And remember on each section, it’s a plus minus 2, so if it says (I believe missing 8 on the English section is a 31, but don’t quote me on that) 31, then know it’s a 31± 2.</p>
<p>It’s also a PDF.</p>
<h1>wrong/# of questions then *36</h1>
<p>So, that is 62/70 *36… That is a, 32</p>
<p>It’s not that simple, and the English section is out of 75.</p>
<p>Oh opps, yeah 75. But I think that is how it is calculated. On my ACT book that is how they have me calculate my score. I got a 30 on my English pre-test</p>
<p>Mcgraw hill, right?</p>
<p>it depends on the percentages of what people get on the tests. If the math section is really easy, it will probably be a very hard curve, if its really hard it will probably be a really easy curve. </p>
<p>usually it is around percent correct over total times 36, and then there are correction curves of english -2, math +1, reading +2, science +1.5, though these fluctuate</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s definately Mcgraw hill. It only works between 16-24. It gets a little fuzzy after that.</p>
<p>accoding to my practice book 8 wrong is a 28 for english</p>
<p>That’s not even close to doing it right. It’s not percentage based at all.
It’s the number of correct answers you have, and that raw score corresponds to a curve. Sometimes -1 is a 36, other time it is a 34.</p>
