Hey everyone, I'm a bit confused about how ACT scores are calculated. Do they round up the scores when compiling the composite score? Like, if I get a 25.5, would it round up to a 26?
Hey there! ACT scores are indeed rounded when calculating the composite score. If you have a decimal composite score, it will be rounded to the nearest whole number. So, if you have a composite score of 25.5 or above, it would round up to 26. Conversely, if you have a composite score of 25.4 or lower, it would round down to 25. This rounding process is the standard method used in calculating the composite ACT score. Good luck with your ACT preparation!
