The EDUFAX Educational FAQ

I am interested in SAT/PSAT/ACT.....

Question #24:
  • How do I interpret the English & Math ACT scores?
Answer #24:
  • When you take the ACT, you actually receive 12 different scores:
    • 1 composite (scaled) score
    • 4 subject scores
    • 7 subscores
    Your Math subscores (1-36) consist of Pre-Algebra/Elementary Algebra (1-18), Algebra/Coordinate Geometry (1-18), and Plane Geometry/Trigonometry (1-18). Don't add them to arrive at the composite score. The composite score is based on the percentage of right and wrong answers submitted at a certain testing date. For each student, the composite score is the average of percentages correct on the four subject scores.
    In the English section, it is mere coincidence that there are two sections from 1 to 18 which if added would yield 36. Don't add them. Compare yourself to 36 - the top percentage - in the composite score, and to 18, the top number, on each of the English subscores.
    I agree it's complicated - I have to review it all the time.
    EDUFAX provides Verbal Test Prep Tutorials (PSAT/SAT I/SAT II/ACT).
