<p>That is how I have been calculating it, and that is how my ACT prep school has been calculating it. But then I looked in a Kaplan book and if you miss like 4 question in math the book says that is a 32. But the way I had been calculating it was: 56/60*36...Thus making the score a 34....</p>
<p>Does the book give an accurate scale like the real ACT. It is the curve in favor of those who miss a few or many?</p>
<p>I’ve been wondering this myself. How do they calculate each section’s score out of 36?</p>
<p>Me too. I always get better scores when I multiply by 36 and divide by whatever the # is.</p>
<p>thats what it says in the mcgraw hill book to do but i am not sure how accurate that is</p>
<p>No, that’s not accurate. The scores depend on a national curve of all the students taking it (for example a -1 may be a 36 one year and a 35 the next year). As far as I know, it is not done with percents on the real test like Kaplan apparently said</p>
<p>Kaplan is wrong. It is all percentile, from a national curve, based on how everyone does who takes it.</p>
<p>yeah…It is all percentile, from a national curve…and also based on what u did on ACT before…</p>
<p>well…it’s sort of like the grading system of Collegeboard</p>
<p>
No…?</p>
