ACT Score Calculator

Each of the four sections (English, Math, Reading, Science) is scored on a 1–36 scale. Your raw score (number correct) is converted to a scaled score using that test form's curve. Your ACT composite is the average of the four scaled section scores, rounded to the nearest whole number.

The national average composite is about 19–20. A score of 24+ puts you above the ~75th percentile, 30+ is roughly top 5%, and 33+ is competitive for the most selective colleges.

No. The ACT has no penalty for wrong answers, so you should always fill in an answer for every question — never leave one blank.

It uses a representative conversion curve, so it is a close estimate. The official scale shifts by a point or two per test form, especially at the very top where the last few raw points each cost a scaled point.
