<p>I missed 11 qs on both kaplan and the red book reading sections but ended up getting reading scores of 28 for the red book and 23 for kaplan. How is that possible? same # of qs misses and 5 points diff!! AND KAPLAN IS HARDER RIT!?!</p>
<p>Many CCer’s here said Kaplan was harder than the real tests.</p>
<p>kaplan is harder, but if you can do really well on Kaplan’s reading, then your real ACT reading should be pretty high</p>
<p>Wait, so when u mean hard, do u mean passages or the scoring.
and is 23 in Kaplan good for reading? :(</p>
<p>from what i experienced with kaplan, a 28 on kaplan was a 31-33 on the real thing on the reading passage</p>
<p>OO
cuz I usually get 28s on the red book
& this 23 just blew me away!</p>
<p>you said you missed 11 on both tests… that can’t be a 23 on kaplan.. i know -12 is usually a 26 or 27 on reading, so that seems to be right that a -11 is a 28… i think you misread the kaplan one… a -11 on kaplan should be the same – a 28… which just means you should theoretically on the next real act reading test get a 30+ on it since kaplan is harder</p>
<p>sweet! thats good news.
but go here…this is a limited version…go 2 page 407

<p>The composite score isn’t showing up (it does on mine)…so count down to a 29 and u should end up w/ a 23. :(</p>
<p>don’t use kaplan’s way of scoring… just get your real ACT book and look up what a 29 out of 40 would be for those tests to give you a score.. that’s what i always did, and it was a relatively good indicator of kaplan’s hardness to the real act book’s hardness</p>
<p>yea…its about a 28 in the Red Book.
phew, thank god…
thx m8</p>
<p>no problem</p>
