This article will help you understand how to break down your ACT scores.
Standardized tests can feel challenging, and the complex scoring system can feel impossible to understand. However, when you break it down, it is much simpler than you might assume.
Your composite score, or overall ACT score, is the average of your four scale scores on each test. Your raw scores for each section are simply the number of questions you answered correctly. Let’s use the table below to practice calculating your composite score.

Now, to calculate your overall ACT score, you add the 4 scale scores from each section and divide by four: (33 + 31 + 34 + 28) / 4 = 126 / 4 → 31.4
Understanding your raw scores will allow you to calculate how many more points you need and how many more questions you must answer correctly to get those points. Adapted from PrepMaven
