sorry bud, anything under 2200 is not a legit contender for top universities
Five skill areas are tested. Math, science, English, reading, and combined English and Writing. These scores are then averaged to determine your composite score.
The composite SAT score is based on critical reading, math, and writing. The maximum combined score is 2400. You just add the scores from the three sections to determine your composite score.
ACT scores are never averaged and most colleges only take a person's best score from one sitting of the exam. However, there are a few colleges and universities out there that will superscore ACT composite scores. "Superscoring" is when, if someone takes multiple ACT tests, colleges will take the best subsections on each of the tests and come up with a new composite. For example, if someone received a 24 in English, 26 in Math, 28 in Science, and a 30 in Reading on their first try, that would be a score of 27. Imagine that they took the test a second time and got a 32 in English, a 30 in Math, a 28 in Science, and a 26 in Reading, which would be a composite score of 29. If a college were to superscore this student's ACT results, this student's new composite score would be a 30, consisting of a 32 in English, a 30 in Math, a 28 in Science, and a 30 in Reading...make sense? I hope so(:
West Virginia residents must have at least a 2.0 grade-point average and either a composite ACT score of 19 or a combined critical reading and math SAT score of 910. Nonresidents must have at least a 2.25 grade-point average and either an ACT composite score of 21 or a combined critical reading and math SAT score of 990.
I really never studied for the ACT on my own. My mom signed me up for some low core SAT class that I only attended two meetings of...max. The I guess you could include the PSATs school requires you take annually; I got like a 186, 197, and 187? I don't really remember those. I only took one Mock ACT because some school offered it for free and received a composite score of a 24. I then took it a month later and got a composite score of 34; English: 32, Math: 35, Reading: 35, Science: 35, and the separate combined English/Writing: 29.
In 1976, the highest composite score on the ACT was 36. This score represents a perfect performance across all sections of the test, which includes English, math, reading, and science. Achieving a composite score of 36 is a significant accomplishment, indicating exceptional academic ability.
There is English grammar and there is English literature. Literature is reading.

There are four sections: English, Math, Reading, and Science. There is also an optional essay section that DOES NOT factor into your composite score but some colleges like to see anyways.

The required portion of the ACT is divided into four multiple choice subject tests: English, mathematics, reading, and science reasoning. Subject test scores range from 1 to 36; all scores are natural numbers. The English, mathematics, and reading tests also have subscores ranging from 1 to 18. (The subject score is not the sum of the subscores.) The "composite score" is the average of all four tests. In addition, students taking the writing test receive a writing score ranging from 2 to 12, a "combined English/writing score" ranging from 1 to 36 (based on the writing score and English score), and one to four comments on the essay from the essay scorers. The writing score does not affect the composite score. Sometimes the test includes an experimental section that may be a short version of any of the four major sections.
ACT Composite refers to the overall score a student receives on the ACT exam, which combines the scores from the four main subject areas: English, Math, Reading, and Science. Each subject score ranges from 1 to 36, and the composite score is the average of these four scores, rounded to the nearest whole number. This composite score is often used by colleges and universities to assess a student's academic readiness for higher education.
