fable, parable, and allegory: Allegory and myth. Another variant is the symbolic allegory, in which a character or material thing is not merely a transparent vehicle for an idea, but rather has a recognizable identity or narrative autonomy apart from the message it conveys.
The ACT Scoring Scale. An ACT score report includes scores for each of the four subject area tests (English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science) and all associated subscores (which are calculated separately). The first step in calculating a score for a subject area test is to determine the raw score for that test.
As another standardized test season kicks off, ACT test takers should know about ACT superscoring. The test maker averages the four subcores, with each ranging from 1 to 36, to create a composite average. Schools have traditionally only taken the composite score rather than cherry picking the best subscores.
