<p>I know the ACT has a complex method of calculating subscores and that it also varies by test and form. But I'm taking practice tests, and I want to figure out what my subscore would be if I got 10 wrong in the math section. So a 50/60 ≈ ? subscore</p>
<p>someone please answer! or give me a link with a chart or something! pleaseeeee</p>
<p>The subscores don’t matter. I’m sure the practice tests came with some sort of answer key with a raw score to scaled score conversion chart, or no? Use that to figure out your overall math score. </p>
<p>Besides, it’s not that hard to identify which problems are pre-alg, alg, and trig. Just go through and figure out which type of math problems are giving you the most difficulties. Figuring out the subscores aren’t really going to benefit you much.</p>
<p>Nope. It’s just a book with practice questions and answers. And the subscores matter in the overall calculation of your composite.</p>
<p>I think eagertolearn wants to know his/her overall math score. In that case, 50/60 would be the rough equivalent (though it varies by test) of a 29.</p>
<p>I looked in my book with three different tests and three different charts, and 10 wrong is listed as a 29, 29, and 28.</p>
<p>“And the subscores matter in the overall calculation of your composite.”</p>
<p>Not necessarily. One can receive two 18/18 on the English section subscores, and still come out with a 35. 18 + 18 =/= 35. I’ve had the same thing happen to me on Math (although in a good way) –> I got two 18s and a 17 on the subscores, yet still came out with a 36 as my section score. </p>
<p>Look at your Math section score, not the three individual subscores (pre-algebra, trig, etc…).</p>
<p>oh gosh! I mean section score! Sorry haha. I was wondering how to find out my math section score.</p>
