Science curve in red book

<p>I tried finding another thread referring to this but couldn't come up with a solid answer. The ACT red book I have says that a raw score of 37/40 will result in a 31 on one of the science sections contained in it. Is the curve ever that rough? I thought a 37/40 would be 33ish usually, but never a 31. Just for a reference, a 38/40 was a 33 and a 39/40 was a 35. </p>

<p>Thanks for any feedback!</p>

<p>Yes, the curve can be that rough. On the April ACT, I got 37/40 for a 31. It went like 36 34 32 31. But sometimes it can be generous.</p>

<p>Yeah, I took a practice test and thought that it was a bit harsh for missing just two questions for a 31 on that specific test. Thankfully the other sections aren’t as harsh.</p>

<p>Dang =/. That’s rough. Thanks though!</p>
