<p>Why is that necessary? If you calculate your score with the adjustment, is it going to be as accurate as the real ACT test?</p>
<p>For those who don’t know what the adjustment is:</p>
<p>-2 points on English
+1 point on Math
+2 on reading
+1.5 on science</p>
<p>hmm? adjustments? like we add those to our raw scores?</p>
<p>I never heard of that? If so then that will definitely increase my reading pre-tests from 27 to a 29 (:</p>
<p>Where did you get this information from? I have never heard of adjustments before.</p>
<p>Where did you hear this at?</p>
<p>the McGraw Hill Book and the Grubers books</p>
<p>I was looking through the internet and I could not find anything about it. I kind of hope that is the case, though. I tend to recieve a really high English score and my Reading score is a tad low (about a 26/27). Although, it would be kind of nice if the English adjustment was not so low because I would want to get the highest score possible haha.</p>
<p>You could try some official tests and see where you are.</p>
<p>If you’re talking to me, I have the ACT prep book that has 3 real ACT tests, and that is how I’m basing my scores from.</p>
<p>It was more of a general suggestion.</p>
<p>okay, this is weird.</p>
<p>So the adjustment was out of a prep book? If their questions model the real test, I wonder why an adjustment is necessary then.</p>
<p>Yes, the adjustment was out of a prep book. Its was on the instructions for grading. They gave a formula:</p>
<p>for english for example:</p>
<p>raw score*36=X/75=Y-2
X and Y being variables.</p>
<p>McGraw Hill</p>
<p>It sounds like they’re giving a range you can expect your actual score to fall into.</p>
