<p>How are the different ways to get a 34 on the act? More specifically, what are the different sub score combinations needed.</p>
<p>There are four sections on the ACT: English, math, reading, and science. Each section is given a score up to 36. To get the composite, the four section scores are added together and divided by four. So of course, there are many different combinations of section scores to get a 34. Rounding rules are applied in a typical fashion. .5 and .75 are rounded up, white .25 is rounded down.</p>
<p>I got a 34 composite (33.5 technically but it rounds up) with a 36 English 35 reading 34 science and 29 math. Obviously there are lots of combinations to get a 34</p>
<p>If you wanna do quick calculations, every point in any section counts as .25 on your composite. So 36E 36M 36R 35S is a 35.75. The most points total you can miss to get a 34 would then be 10 since (36 - [10 x .25]) = 33.5. So for at least a 34 you could get:
26E 36M 36R 36S
33E 33M 33R 35S
and so on.</p>
