<p>On my Plan Test I got a composite score of 25 and it estimated my ACT score would be between 26 and 30, but I was in the 97th percentile. I looked up the 97th percentile for the actually ACT and it is about a 33. Just out of curiosity, is the range usually accurate, low, or high? I realize I shouldn't worry about it but im just really bored and curious.</p>
<p>you Are in the 97th percentile of the PLAN, not the ACT. The PLAN is usually taken by Freshmen or Sophmores, thus a lower score like 25 will be at a high percentile. Most new high school students don’t score high. if you want to find out your ACT score take a practice test from the Red Book</p>
<p>Even though it says 26-30, since you are currently in the 97th percentile of your age group, the same will probably be true once you are a senior and have improved at taking the test, so you can sort of aim for a 33 and it be reasonable. But for right now you are around a 26-30.</p>
<p>Also, I took the PLAN my sophomore year then the ACT 2 months later. I made a 26 on the PLAN (ACT 27-31) and made a 31 on my ACT. I’m now a junior with a 33 because, like most people who take the test, my score went up when I got more experienced with it.</p>
<p>So right now you are around 28 range, but with the time you have a 33+ isn’t out of reach, especially if you did no prep for the PLAN(does anybody?)</p>
<p>Thanks for that. Like I said it was just out of curiosity.</p>

this was super helpful! the PLAN is out of 32, so that throws scores off a lot. Is there a percentile chart somewhere of the PLAN? For my test, it only showed the percentiles of my school and not the whole nation. If not, would anyone know if I could expect a 36 on the ACT if I got a 31 on my PLAN?</p>

<p>It’s definitely possible to exceed the PLAN’s predicted range. Many students exceed the top predicted score from the PLAN, as the range tends to err on the low side.</p>
<p>I personally know multiple people who beat their PLAN ranges, and beat my PLAN range myself.</p>
