Frequently asked

What is a good ACT score?
The ACT composite runs 1-36. Around 19-20 is roughly average; 24+ is competitive, 30+ is strong, and 33+ is in the top few percent.
How is the ACT composite calculated?
Each of the four sections (English, Math, Reading, Science) is converted from raw correct answers to a 1-36 scale, and your composite is the average of the four, rounded to the nearest whole number.
Is this the official ACT scale?
No. ACT raw-to-scale conversions vary by test form. These curves are representative estimates, not an official scale.
