No ACT Reading?

On my portal, my ACT Math, Science, and English scores are listed, but my ACT Reading is not. Is this normal? Is anyone else's Reading score missing? Do the admissions board simply not care about ACT Reading, and if that's the case, are peoples' Reading score taken into account when people say "the average ACT score for appointees is 28-33"?
Many thanks to any answers of these questions.
 
Mine is missing as well. I have no idea whether or not it is averaged into the ACT average though.
 
Id have to double-check, but I think it might be the academy reformatting the scores so they can be compared to SAT equivalent scores.
 
Mine's also not there, as well as my ACT English portion hasn't been updated. It's a little frustrating due to the fact that English and Reading I scored the highest on.
 
My reading has never been included, it has always just been the math, science, and english. Not really sure why but it may be STEM related (meaning that these are the scores that factor into the STEM composite rather than the overall composite.) In my opinion, they must have the other scores somewhere if you sent them in using the ACT website but I’m not sure where or if they are factored into admissions. I’m sure there is someone on here that has some more insight, maybe from a previous class. I’m no expert as I am also just an applicant.

Reading was on the application last year and visible. If anyone English is higher than normal they might have take the average of the two instead of showing both. Another factor is I doubt ( and this my two cents only) you would be disqualified if your reading is say a 27.

If you have a high English it shows you can write papers, high math and you can handle the science and math at USAFA. High science and that's useful for reading graphs. High reading? More a component of English and they'll teach you how to read faster and retain the information at USAFA.

Is reading taken into account? I would say of course. It's another sign you test well and it could show how fast you already read. However if they're choosing not to show it, they're choosing not to show it. New system, new rules. Maybe it's "out of sight out of mind" for those who are worrying about having a 28 in reading.

Well I have a 35 in English and a 30 Reading, and it says "35" English. Maybe it's what Pluto said, that they are making it more equivalent to SAT scores, but who knows...
