What do YOU consider a good ACT score?

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

<p>I would say 32+.</p>

2

<p>It depends on the college one is applying to.
For example, if one is applying to a Tier II school, I’d say a 27+ is a good score.
But if one is applying to an Ivy League school, then I’d say a 33+ is a good score.</p>

<p>For general purposes, however, I would agree with you in that a 32+ is a good score!</p>

<p>id agree with 32+
Generally speaking, a 32 cant hurt your admissions chances at pretty much every college (possibly excluding ivies). Doesnt necessarily help at some top colleges, but wont hurt either.</p>

4

<p>Generally, 31+</p>

<p>For top tier schools, 34+</p>

5

<p>Depends on what you mean by “good”. If you’re talking about what I would be impressed by if someone else got, then a 34+; if you’re talking about what I would consider a good score for myself, then a 35+.</p>

6

<p>I consider a 34/35 a good score for myself.</p>

7

<p>a 36-Although im happy with my score, i feel that its not good enough for the schools that im applying to</p>

8

<p>29+ is generally indicative of a good student, though I know smart people who suck at the ACT</p>

<p>32+ is good for top schools</p>

<p>34+ is what I consider a good score for myself</p>

<p>Once you get to the high scores, I don’t think score differences mean very much. Someone with a 36 answered only a few more questions correctly than someone with a 34 or 35.</p>

<p>This fact haunts me…</p>

<p>A good ACT score is a score that will not HURT your chances of getting into a school. A great one will help your chances.</p>

11

<p>Good? do you all realize than a 28 is 91st percentile!!! good is probably a 26 and up</p>

12

<p>In general, the best way is to look at your score as a percentile. Since the scores are curved in nature, 32-33 upwards tends to be a benchmark for doing great on the test since getting your score up any higher will be a trial in and of itself.</p>

<p>Personally, 34-36 would be a goal range. If I can get a 32 test with practically a quarter of the reading section being guesses, then a 33 shouldn’t be much harder and 34 is only a question or two better.</p>

13

<p>33 - l33t…</p>

14

<p>ATM at 30, aiming for 33+ in october</p>

15

<p>I understand this board tends to attract people who do extremely well and/or very strongly care about ACT, but 23 is above average.</p>

16

<p>28+</p>
