<p>What sections of the ACT does the Academy look at? And what is a good score to aim for?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>^^^^^
Reading = Verbal. Minimum score = 26.</p>

<p>Math. Minumum score = 26.</p>

<p>The ACT scores are converted the SAT equivalents. Navy ROTC does a similar conversion, but the scores have to come from the same test.</p>

<p>Would I be able to use my ACT verbal score and SAT math score?</p>

4

<p>Yes. The Naval Academy’s Admissions Board uses the highest combination of verbal/critical reading and math scores from all SAT or ACT tests taken by a candidate. The writing section should be taken by all candidates. Therefore, candidates will normally enhance their competitiveness simply by taking both the SAT and the ACT more than once.</p>

<p>Yes to the above... take early and often!</p>

<p>Beat Army!</p>

<p>Does the Academy look at the science and english scores of the ACT?</p>

7

<p>Absolutely not.</p>

<p>Really? I remember reading on the Vice Pres. application that USNA's requirements were 26 on science and reading. But on the CIS only English and Math are listed.</p>

<p>And I believe USNA takes the English as the verbal section, not the reading. On my CIS is has my math and English scores but not reading.</p>

<p>You may be correct. One PA senator nom form requests the individual scores. So GA is correct; however that does not mean your science or reading may not play any part in your nomination process. But definitely not in your triple Qing process.</p>
