<p>My now 9th grader took the ACT in 7th grade his composite was a 23. However there is no way he was then or is now ready for college. The only reason his composite was ok was because his reading and english were so high. His math and science were low . But based on the composite he was supposedly college ready?? give me a break. The ACT is just a test. Trying to base whether a student is going to succeed in college based on a composite of at least a 21 is nuts.</p>
