The ACT is a standardized test designed to gauge students’ college-level readiness. Many colleges and universities use students’ scores as a factor in admissions decisions.
A score of 34 and higher puts students in the top 1% of test takers. Only 0.22% of test takers nationwide are able to achieve a perfect score.
