<p>Hey Guys,
I just bought the Mcgraw Hill book today to go along with my Real Act.
I just took the 1st Practice Test and scored a 33 on it.
Now for owners of the book, when it says to subtract 2 at the end of the score should i still do that even though it says the subtraction of 2 usually effects the scores from 16-24?</p>
<p>And lastly,
How would you say these tests compare to the real Act</p>
<p>Bump 10 char.</p>
<p>I had the same question in a previous thread.</p>
<p>My friend and I have concluded that most of those grading curves for that book is not accurate when you are reaching high scores. I personally just use the curve I have from my REAL ACT BOOK, because it seems like the difficulty is pretty similar so the that curve would be more realistic.</p>
<p>It just didn't make sense to me that i got a 34 on English when i missed 0 questions, lol. Its a pretty good book in general</p>
<p>Alright thanks alot.
So you would say that the tests in both books are very similar and that i should just use the curve from the real act book?</p>
<p>Anyone else have an opinion?</p>
<p>O and also,
I find it a little strange that in the Mcgraw book i got 7 wrong on english and got a 32.64 while 7 wrong in the real act rtanslates to a 29?</p>
<p>I think 7 wrong being a 29 is accurate. It doesn't make sense that missing 7 would give you a 33. I think for the English section that each point missed is a minus point on your english score for around 30-36. When it gets to 29 and lower it might be 2 missed questions per point. It usually has some variation, but it is usually close to this.</p>
