HOW WILL MY PRE-ACT BE SCORED? This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY The Pre-ACT is scored on the familiar 1 to 36 scale. You will receive a 1 -36 for each section, and for the test as a whole. These will, however, be predictive scores, meaning that they will be scaled to reflect the fact that you are taking the test one year ahead of the ACT.

DO COLLEGES SEE MY PREACT SCORES? NO, LIKE THE PSAT, YOUR PRE-ACT SCORES ARE NOT SENT TO COLLEGES. HOWEVER, DEMOGRAPHIC DATA YOU PROVIDE IN THE NON-COGNITIVE SECTION WILL BE AVAILABLE TO COLLEGES.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE PREACT? This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND It provides an opportunity for you to discover what you might score on the ACT, and where you should concentrate your efforts in order to maximize your scores.
