How many can you miss on each section and still get at least a 33?

<p>Anyone please? thanks</p>

<p>it depends on each test's curve, but about...</p>

<p>One PR test has a 33 at:
English 71/75
Math 57/60
Reading 37/40
Science 37/40</p>

<p>One Kaplan test has a 33 at:
English 72/75
Math 58/60
Reading 39/40
Science 39/40</p>

<p>It all depends on the curve</p>

<p>"Math 58/60
Reading 39/40
Science 39/40"</p>

<p>eh...</p>

<p>Only 1 more week :)</p>

<p>""Math 58/60
Reading 39/40
Science 39/40"</p>

<p>eh...

<p>It depends on the curve, I got those out of Kaplan 2006 pg. 411</p>

<p>so its pretty much impossible to get a 35 or 34 on a section?</p>

<p>It depends on the curve, it is possible.</p>

<p>Kaplan's doesn't seem accurate at all. I would doubt that there's ever been an ACT test which gave a 33 which just one question missed, even with the annoyingly steep curve of the science test.</p>

<p>What percentile is a composite score of 33 at?</p>

<p>ninety-ninth</p>

<p>Since the scores of 32 to 36 are at the same percentile (99th), do you guys think colleges look at them the same?</p>

<p>lol i wish but i think MOST colleges just convert your score to SAT scores...which then becomes far below the 99th percentile. but maybe not.</p>

<p>WTH, are you serious? Dammit, why must the ACT be subordinate to the damn SAT?!</p>

<p>its not subordinate, its just that most of the higher ranked colleges are more familiar with the SAT. because most of the applications they get have SAT scores, they are better able to compare applicants when all scores are in SAT format.</p>

<p>Elephant, IF it's true that most colleges convert ACT scores to SAT scores, it's probably just because SAT is older. They started out using SAT scores, then started getting ACT scores, and converted them since they were already set up for SAT. And have been doing it the same way ever since.</p>
