<p>Crumudgeon,</p>
<p>To follow up a bit, the number of 36 scorers on the Math section was 224 out of 1,171,460 test takers in 2004. So I would ask your original question in an alternative way, of the 224 how many had perfect subscores of 18 on all 3 sections. Unfortunately, I can not find that information in their data sets but at least we have limited the to 224 down from 6914. Here is the link to where I got that information:</p>

<p>doing some quick math on the this, a 36 on the math section of the ACT is acieved by the top .15% of students (15/10,000). I would imagine that the subset of perfect scores on all 3 subsections is more rare.</p>
<p>On a separate but related topic, has she taken the AMC12 or AIME tests. If she is math oriented some schools ask what incoming students scored on these tests, i.e. Caltech and MIT.</p>
