<p>For the english section, I received a 16 on the rhetorical skills and a 17 on the usage/mechanics. However I only received a 32 for the section. The same thing happened on reading. Why doesn't this give me a 33 for the section.</p>
<p>The subscores don’t necessarily add together to form your actual score for the section. It wouldn’t make sense, especially since the math section has three subscores that are each out of 18.</p>
<p>The ACT booklet, which you can download from the ACT website, has a subscore/test score conversion table.</p>
