<p>scores do vary from state to state
where did you find this???</p>
<p>Somewhere on this site</p>
<p>I haven’t look at it. But I’m guessing Mississippi have the lowest. They are also the most religious state. Highest is probably in the New England area.</p>
<p>I wonder which state has the highest scores.</p>
<p>^^^^^^^^^^^mass probably</p>
<p>Iowa???
who knows?</p>
<p>I’d put Mississippi or Alabama at lowest and Mass at highest.</p>
<p>Although results can be funny. I go to a great public in Chicago suburbs and the city kids always mess up our score averages. If your school has a school average, it’s often a more useful benchmark than state scores.</p>

<p>if you have the time, go through the link and let me know if Mass is the highest
here is the link again</p>

<p>I think Mass is the highest.</p>
<p>Mass it is.</p>
<p>You also have to factor in the percent of students in that state who actually take the ACT. Some states require the ACT (meaning all the people who are absolutely clueless take it), whereas in other states, only certain students take it. While it’s somewhat accurate… it’s not completely. Just saying.</p>
<p>sam, that is an interesting point. I don’t know if they accounted for that in the study.</p>
<p>how many states require this test??</p>
<p>I’m not sure, but a few states had 100% listed, so I’m going to assume those. I know my high school requires everyone to take it, but our state is only in the 90s…</p>
<p>ok, my state does not require either the sat or act as part of middle school or high school</p>
<p>Most states do not require the ACT to be taken</p>
<p>is it required in Iowa???</p>
<p>Do not think so</p>
<p>it is required in some states for sure, I think IL. is one of them</p>
