How to calculate Reading Score?

[sinachi]

Hi,

Today I had 42 Questions in reading (Total of 45 Points).

Does any one know how to calculate my score?

For example, if I get 27 correct, what would be my Score?

Thanx.

i guess is something like this

(27/45)*30 =18


Reading was confusing!!!
Some questions were really bizarre!

Listening was easy...so was writing

It doesn't work like this. Every book has its own scheme and there's a scaling chart given at the end of the reading section. I remember doing it from the official review published by ETS, and I got 30/30 even if I got 3 questions wrong. So you need to look at that scaling table which varies for each test.

according to what does it vary?

Well, I just compared the Longman book with the Delta book.
It is really interesting, cus according to Longman book if you get 27 out of 42, your score is 16; however, based on the table in the Delta book, if you get 27 out of 42, you score is 19. I'm confused.
