1. What is the ACT Composite Score Without Science?

The ACT Composite Score Without Science calculates an average score from just the Reading, Math, and English sections, excluding the Science section. This can be useful for programs or evaluations that don't require science proficiency.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( CS \) — Composite Score (1-36)
• \( RS \) — Reading Score (1-36)
• \( MS \) — Math Score (1-36)
• \( ES \) — English Score (1-36)

Explanation: The calculator averages the three scores to produce a composite score on the same 1-36 scale as the full ACT.

3. Importance of Composite Score

Details: Some colleges and programs may evaluate applicants based on specific section combinations. This calculator helps students understand how they might perform when science isn't considered.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your Reading, Math, and English scores (each between 1-36). The calculator will compute your composite score without science.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why calculate without science?
A: Some programs place less emphasis on science skills and more on reading, math, and English abilities.

Q2: How does this compare to the official ACT composite?
A: The official composite includes all four sections. This version gives equal weight to the three non-science sections.

Q3: Do colleges accept this modified composite?
A: Most colleges use the official composite, but some programs may consider alternative combinations.

Q4: Can I use this for superscoring?
A: Superscoring typically considers section scores across multiple test dates, not composite alternatives.

Q5: What's a good score without science?
A: Generally, scores above 24 are considered strong, but requirements vary by institution.
