Doubt it'll be that nice. I found science pretty easy actually (for me), and sure some other people did as well.

My guess is more along the lines of...
-0 = 36
-1 = 35
-2 = 34
-3 = 33
-4 = 32
-5 = 31
-6 = 30
-7 = 30
-8 = 29
-9 = 29
-10 = 28

i took the SAT but definitely did not do well (I'm a total math/sci person btw). I'm looking to take the ACT in December, but what is the difference between English and Reading?

English focuses on grammar (is this the right place to put the comma, who/whom, etc.) and Reading is reading comprehension (reading the passage and answering main idea, where should this paragraph go? questions)
