About the Tests

  • The ACT is a national college admission and placement examination.
  • ACT scores range from a low of 1 to a high of 36. The Composite score is an average of the English, math, reading and science scores.
  • Scores represent results for students in grade 12 who took the ACT as juniors or seniors.
  • Because of changes in state enrollment collections in 2004-2005, participation rates for the graduating class of 2005 should be interpreted with caution.
