ACT Scores

Answering 75% of the questions correctly on the ACT translates to an estimated composite score of 25 to 27 out of 36. 

Note that the scoring system is completely identical for Indian students and domestic US test-takers; there is no separate international curve or normalisation process. Because the ACT does not use negative markings, your score is calculated solely based on your raw number of correct answers.

Official ACT scores typically take 2 to 3 business days to transmit electronically once the request is officially processed. However it generally takes an additional 1 to 2 weeks for the receiving college to download, process and update the scores into your personal student application portal.

A score of 35 on the ACT exam is considered almost equal to or slightly better than a score of 1550 on the SAT exam. However, both the scores are in the 99th percentile and highly competitive to get into the top universities. - so there is no meaningful difference in how admissions officers will evaluate them.

ACT scores generally start to get released online from 10 days to 2 weeks after your test - while some students received them in 7 days as well. 

You can share your ACT scores with as many universities as you want. However, the number of free score reports you receive depends on when and how you submit your choices.

You can select up to 4 colleges or scholarship agencies that can receive your scores for free when you register for the ACT.

You can add an unlimited number of additional universities later, but each additional score report costs $20 per test date.
