<p>has been released, showing score distributions for 1,300,599 members of class of 2007 who took the ACT test (table 2.1). Just 314 of the test-takers attained an ACT composite score of 36, the highest standard score. Other figures about 2007 test-takers can be found in other tables of the report.</p>
<p>what was it last year, 218 36's with a 20.9 average?
not looking good for 2008ers</p>
<p>Class of 2006 was 216 peak scores out of 1,206,455 test-takers. </p>

<p>The average composite score was 21.1 that year.</p>
<p>To be fair, more people took the test this year than in previous years. There were nearly 100,000 more test takers in 2007 than in 2006. It only makes sense that there would be an increase in people who got a 36.</p>
<p>ya, but certainly not 100 more on 100,000
last year it was 1/6,000 kids got a 36
this year it is like 1/4500</p>
