PreACT® Score Calculator (2025 Raw-to-Scaled Estimator)

PreACT® Score Calculator (2025)

📌 Introduction

The PreACT® Score Calculator is a free tool designed to help students estimate their PreACT scaled scores and composite score (1–35) using their raw section scores from practice tests or official results. This calculator mirrors the official PreACT scoring process and is perfect for students in grades 9–10 who are preparing for the ACT.

🎯 What Is the PreACT?

The PreACT is a preparatory version of the ACT, typically taken by 9th and 10th-grade students. It provides:

• Insight into ACT-style questions

• An early measure of college readiness

• Predictive ACT scores

• Data for academic planning

It is designed to simulate the real ACT and predict potential future ACT scores based on current performance.

📌 Composite Score = Average of the four section scores, rounded to the nearest whole number.

🧮 How the PreACT Score Calculator Works

The PreACT is scored similarly to the ACT. This calculator:

• Converts your raw scores (correct answers) in each section

• Maps them to scaled scores (1–35) based on ACT-like conversion tables

• Averages the four section scores to compute the composite score
