What is a Good ACT Score?

<p>Hi, I got inspired by one of the threads in the SAT section. So what do you consider as a good ACT score? :)</p>

<p>I would consider anything 28+ as good and 31+ as excellent</p>

<p>IMO 32+ is good, 34+ is very good.</p>

<p>anything good enough</p>

<p>i feel like the score that i have now isn’t good enough. lol in the past i would’ve thought it’s a very nice score. but now, i don’t know, i feel like one of those ppl who has a 35 or 2300 and wants to retake. us humans are never satisfied! :open_mouth: lol</p>

<p>A good ACT score is above the 75th percentile of your dream college. There’s no other way to answer the question. Looking at the populace as a whole, a 25 is an excellent score, but that would be considered very low on CC. It just depends on the person and what score he or she needs.</p>

<p>imo anything above 30 is a good score :)</p>

<p>good for what?</p>

<p>same question, good for what?</p>

<p>I’d say 30 too.</p>

<p>good for in general. colleges, among the population, etc</p>

<p>36.
“A good ACT score is above the 75th percentile of your dream college.”</p>

<p>^Well it’s true, YoHo, the only really exceptional ACT score at MIT or Harvard is a 36.</p>

<p>If good is defined as above average, then you are looking at a score above 21 which is said to be the national average.</p>

<p>Simple.</p>

<p>Imo, 34+. But 36 is ideal :)</p>

<p>On these forums, a 30+ is good. 34+ is the goal.</p>

<p>In regular people world (where I’m located), a 21+ is above average and a 27+ is good.</p>
