The ACT math section is scored from 1-36. The ACT is a standardized test that is accepted by most colleges as part of their admissions requirements. There are four sections on the ACT: English, Math, Reading, and Science. Each section is scored on a scale of 1-36.

The ACT Math section has 60 questions and you are given 60 minutes to complete them all. In this blog post I want to talk about how the ACT math score is calculated and what a good math score looks like for the ACT.

How to Score the ACT Math Section

Each question on the ACT math section is worth 1 point, so your raw math score will be between 0-60 points. After you take the test, your raw score will be converted into a scaled score.

The ACT doesn’t give out any specific details about its scoring algorithm except that your raw score will be converted into a scaled score based on how difficult the exam was overall and how well everyone else did on the test (this is called equating). A high raw score could get you a low scaled score if everyone else got really high scores or if the exam was easier than usual (and vice versa).

So even though there are 60 questions on the math section, they aren’t all weighted

From 1 to 36, the ACT math scale is the same for all test takers. But what does this number mean? How is it calculated? What does it tell you about your score?

The ACT is on a curve and the average score is a 20. The exam has 215 questions that range from easy to very hard. If you get most of the easier questions right, you’ll need to answer many of the harder ones correctly as well in order to end up with a good score.

The math section has 60 questions, each worth 1 point. You can earn a maximum of 60 points on this section. Your raw score will be converted into a scaled score according to the ACT’s conversion table. This table below shows how the conversion works:

Raw (Correct) Score Scaled (ACT) Math Score

60 36

59 35

58 35

57 34

56 33

55 33

The ACT Math Scale is an important part of the ACT exam. The Math Scale is used to help determine your performance in the areas tested on the exam. Understanding how the scale works and what it means can help you reach your target score.

What’s On the Math Test?

The ACT Math test is a 60-question, 60-minute test that includes topics in pre-algebra, elementary algebra, intermediate algebra, coordinate geometry, plane geometry and trigonometry. It also includes some questions that are based on data interpretation or “data sufficiency.” This means that you will be given a problem and asked to determine whether or not there is enough information given to solve it. You will not be allowed to use a calculator for data sufficiency questions.

About the ACT Math Scale

The ACT math scale is designed so that at least 50 percent of test takers score between 1 and 36 points. In fact, 30 percent score between 1 and 13 points; 40 percent score between 14 and 24 points; 20 percent score between 25 and 31 points; 6 percent score between 32 and 34 points; and 4 percent score 35 or 36 points.

The ACT math test does not penalize you for incorrect answers–the raw point total

ACT Math scores are on a scale of 1-36. Your score is the average of the four test scores, rounded to the nearest whole number (for example, if your scores are 25, 26, 27 and 30, your ACT Math score would be 27).

While each test is scored individually on a scale of 1-36, there is no fixed conversion table that tells you what percentiles or ranges certain scaled scores fall into. Instead, since the ACT was first given in 1959 and has continued to grow in popularity over half a century to become the most popular college admissions exam used today.

The ACT math average score for those who took the test in 2016 was 20.8. The mean ACT math score varies slightly from year to year. This article focuses more on understanding how ACT math questions are scored and gives you tips for improving your own ACT math score.

The ACT math section is made up of 60 questions, most of which come from algebra, geometry and trigonometry content areas. There are three main types of problems on this section: multiple choice questions with five possible answers; gridded-response questions where you fill in an answer in a box or boxes; and multi-part questions that require you to solve several parts before getting credit for solving

If you take the ACT, you know that it has 4 different sections: English, Math, Reading, and Science. Each section is scored on a scale of 1-36. The average score across all students who took each section is a 20.

However, even though the section scores are reported on the same scale, they are NOT created equal. The Math section is much more difficult than the English section. For example, in 2018, only 89% of students scored at least a 15 on Math (out of 36), compared to 97% of students scoring at least a 15 on English.

Because of this difference in difficulty between sections, the ACT created a scaled score for each individual student which adjusts for this difference in difficulty.*

There is a slight difference between the raw score and the scaled score. If a person answers 57 questions correctly, they have a raw score of 57. However, the ACT Math section has 60 questions, so a raw score of 57 is not equal to a scaled score of 57. The scaled score takes into account the difficulty of the test that was taken.

As with other ACT sections, the ACT Math section is scored on a scale from 1 to 36.*

The ACT Math test is scored on a scale of 1 to 36, with 1 being the lowest score and 36 being the highest score. Your raw score on the ACT Math test is determined by how many questions you answered correctly.

How is your raw score converted into your math subscore?

The ACT Math test has 60 multiple choice questions. In order to calculate your raw score, you need to know how many questions are on the ACT Math test and which of these questions count towards your subscore.

What types of questions are on the ACT Math test?

The ACT Math test has five question types: pre-algebra, elementary algebra, intermediate algebra, coordinate geometry and plane geometry. Each question type corresponds to a raw score range for correct answers. The raw score ranges for each question type are as follows:
