^You’re all scoring the essay incorrectly. The “Preparing for the ACT” guide explains the new scoring system.

You get a 1 to 6 grade on each of the four categories. The max points you can get from one reader is 24. Another reader is another 24 max.

Whatever the total points are between the two readers (48pts max) is then converted to a scaled score of 1-36.

For example,

Reader #1:
–Ideas and Analysis: 4
–Development and Support: 4
–Organization: 4
–Language Use and Convention: 3

Reader #1 Raw Points: 15.

Reader #2:
–Ideas and Analysis: 5
–Development and Support: 4
–Organization: 5
–Language Use and Convention: 4

Reader #2 Raw Points: 18

Total Raw Points (Readers 1+2): 33.

33 Raw Points is then converted to a scaled score of 26 (using the scoring scale in the “Preparing for the ACT”; the scale will probably vary from essay to essay).

Final Scaled Score: 26.
