<p>Of the 1,480,469 people who took the ACT in their Sophomore, Junior, or Senior years and who graduated in the last year (Class of 2009), 638 of them earned the perfect composite score of 36. This represents about 1 in 2,320 (99.96th percentile) students, up from last year's 1 in 3,300 (99.97th percentile). Scores of 33, 34, 35, and 36 all were in the 99th percentile. The average score was 21.1. This is unchanged from 2008's graduates. The state with the highest average score was Massachusetts, at 23.9. The lowest scoring state was Mississippi, at 18.9.</p>
<p>In Spring 2008, all public high school eleventh graders in the states of Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, and Wyoming were tested with the ACT as required by each state. Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, and Wyoming students who met ACT's 2009 graduating class criteria are included in the 2009 graduating class average score results. Consistent with ACT's reporting policies, graduating class test results are reported only for students tested under standard time conditions.</p>
<p>The ACT also released several interactive graphs to demonstrate increases in students tested, average scores, etc. </p>
<p>well atleast it should help you get in to college :P, thats all that matters. unless your a freshman or an 8th gradre or something then yea who nkows</p>
<p>Looks like ACT scores have dropped about 4-6 points equivalent on the SAT from the 2008 report for the SAT. I’m guessing the 2009 report from the SAT will probably restore the ACT’s value</p>
<p>But some colleges may use their own tables for internal purposes, and most colleges these days just have their own sense of how high is high enough on each test.</p>
<p>WOW really? Someone managed a 2? That person should be accepted into prestigious schools. The odds of getting a 2 are how LOW? Guessing would certainly get you atleast a 10 or above. LOL</p>
<p>If you are familiar with the eligibility requirements for Division I college athletics, the statistics for ACT scores show you how very low those requirements are. You can be deep down the percentile rank and still be fully eligible.</p>
<p>I am a senior and I have yet to take the ACT or SAT. Is there any advise I can recieve from people who have taken it?? I am studying like crazy but some of the material is just not sticking, on a scale of 1 to 10 how difficult is the ACT and SAT???</p>
<p>I know several people who have taken the ACT 5 or 6 times, hoping to get a 36, but I wonder if that’s a good idea? Do colleges take into account how many times you take the ACT or just how high your score is?</p>
<p>hey guys. i got a 26 on my ACT. i’m an incoming junior. I took the test without studying. just took a practice test. and I also got a 9 on my writing score. (i’m not too worried about raising this up. taking AP English and my teacher pretty much prepares everyone to get an 12 on it).</p>
<p>Is receiving a 26 now a pretty good score for an incoming junior?</p>
