ACT Score Calculator Description

ACT Scoring at a Glance

The ACT Score Calculator provides a precise way to compute your composite score from the four main test sections:

• English
• Math
• Reading
• Science

Each section score ranges from 1 to 36, and your final score is calculated as the average of these four values.

Composite Score Formula

Composite Score = round((English + Math + Reading + Science) / 4)

This rounded average is your official ACT composite score. The formula is based on ACT’s official guidelines and reflects how colleges evaluate your results.

Step-by-Step Calculation

1. Enter your four section scores.
2. Ensure all values are within the valid range (1–36).
3. The tool computes the average using decimal precision.
4. The final composite is rounded to the nearest whole number.

Example

Scores: English = 32, Math = 30, Reading = 28, Science = 31
Average = (32 + 30 + 28 + 31) / 4 = 30.25
Composite Score = round(30.25) = 30

Real-World Applications

Case Study 1: Competitive Applicant

• Scores: English = 35, Math = 34, Reading = 36, Science = 36
• Composite: round((35+34+36+36)/4) = 35

Case Study 2: Improvement in Progress

• Scores: English = 30, Math = 28, Reading = 26, Science = 25
• Composite: round((30+28+26+25)/4) = 27

Edge Case Scenarios

• Max Scores: 36 in all sections → Composite = 36
• Min Scores: 1 in all sections → Composite = 1
• Outlier Score: One low section (e.g., 18) can lower an otherwise high composite
• Invalid Input: Scores below 1 or above 36 are flagged
• Unbalanced Scores: A 36 in English won't fully compensate for a 20 in Science
