THE
SILENT TIMER™
Handbook
ACT® Score
Within four to seven weeks
of the test date, ACT scores are mailed to students, their high school and designated
colleges. For an extra fee of $8, ACT scores can be viewed online 2 1/2 weeks
after the test date. The ACT score ranges from 1 to 36, 36 being the highest
attainable score.
The ACT Score reflects the
number of questions answered correctly (raw score), converted into a scaled
score. No points are deducted for incorrect answers, so experts recommend that
students answer every question they can on the exam. This doesn’t mean
students need to rush through the ACT test simply to get every question answered;
pacing yourself is still crucial. It does mean, however, that you should try
to answer all the “easy” questions first, returning to the more
difficult ones afterwards.
But technology isn’t
perfect. Some room must be left for error when scoring, hence the standard error
of measurement. This number was developed as a way to estimate the amount of
error in test scores. The standard error of measurement in individual sections
is two points for each section and one point for the composite score. You can
calculate the standard error of measurement by adding and subtracting these
numbers from your individual and composite scores to get your range of scores.
Confusing? Here's an example: If you scored 21 on the science section, your
accurate score for science lies between 19 and 23. If your composite score is
23, that means your final score lies between 22 and 24.
