4 Things to Know About the
ACT Test Score Reports
®
Our score reports help students get the most from their ACT test results.
1 Am I college ready?
The ACT College Readiness Benchmarks aren’t
new but we’ve made them easier to read.
Scoring at or above the benchmark means
you have at least a 50% chance of getting a
B or higher or about a 75% chance of getting
a C or higher in a first-year college class in the
corresponding subject area.
2 Where do I rank?
This section shows the approximate percentage
of recent grads who took the ACT and received
scores that are the same or lower than yours.
3 Where can I improve?
The ACT Readiness Range visualizes
areas where you excel and helps you find
opportunities for improvement.
4 Does my major fit?
Learn if your interests are similar to those of students
who actually chose the major you’re considering.
