ACT Score Calculator
Enter your scaled section scores to calculate your ACT composite (1–36).
Enter scaled section scores from 1 to 36, not counts of correct answers. For raw practice results, first use the scoring key for that exact test.
Enhanced ACT Composite
—
Enter all 3 valid section scores to calculate your Composite.
Science and Writing are excluded from the enhanced Composite. Science can still matter for program requirements and a separate STEM score.
This tool applies the formula to your inputs; it does not issue an official score. See worked examples and official sources.
How to calculate your ACT Composite
For the enhanced ACT, add your English, Math, and Reading scaled scores, divide by three, then round once at the end. The result is on the 1–36 scale. Science and Writing are excluded from this Composite.
Composite = round((English + Math + Reading) ÷ 3)
| Format | Section scores | Average | Composite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enhanced | English 28, Math 25, Reading 30 | 83 ÷ 3 = 27.67 | 28 |
| Enhanced | English 24, Math 25, Reading 24 | 73 ÷ 3 = 24.33 | 24 |
| Enhanced | English 30, Math 31, Reading 31 | 92 ÷ 3 = 30.67 | 31 |
| Legacy | English 28, Math 25, Reading 30, Science 24 | 107 ÷ 4 = 26.75 | 27 |
Raw scores, Composite scores, and superscores
A raw score is a count of correct answers. It needs the conversion table for that exact practice-test form before you enter it here. A Composite combines scaled sections from one test. A superscore uses eligible best section scores across test dates. Use ACT’s official report and each college’s policy for applications.

ACT scoring — FAQ
How is the enhanced ACT Composite calculated?+
Add the English, Math, and Reading scaled scores, divide by three, and round to the nearest whole number. Science and Writing do not enter the enhanced Composite. Legacy reports used a four-section average including Science.
Can I enter the number of correct answers?+
No. Enter scaled section scores from 1 to 36. To score a practice test, first convert each raw result with the scoring key for that exact form; there is no universal raw-to-scaled conversion.
Does Science still matter?+
Science is reported separately and can contribute to a STEM score. Check your testing program and college requirements before deciding whether to take it.
Is this an official score?+
No. This calculator applies the Composite formula to your inputs. Your official report comes from ACT. Do not use an unofficial practice estimate as an official application score.
