On the enhanced ACT, a 25 English is often in the neighborhood of missing about 10–14 of 50, depending on the form. Treat that as a planning band, not a promise.
How to use the band
If you are finishing the 50 and sitting around a 22, you need a handful more correct—usually repeating grammar types, not speed. Convert a practice raw: calculate a practice score.
What not to do
Do not memorize "miss 12" from a forum. Official tables differ. Old 75-question books do not apply.
The bottom line
Plan on finishing all 50 and missing about a dozen for a 25, then check the scale on the test you actually took.
Start practicing
Start with a free diagnostic, then drill your weak spots with 15-question quizzes and track how you're doing across Reading, English, and Math. Compare plans whenever you're ready to go further.
