Use the interactive tools below, which are intended to answer questions and provide meaningful insights to help students, parents, educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders make informed decisions and improve education and career outcomes.
This tool expands upon (or replaces in some instances) our annual state and national ACT Profile and ACT Condition of College and Career Readiness reports. The tool, which contains data for the 10 most-recent ACT-tested high school graduating classes, allows users to view summary measures of the college readiness of ACT-tested students by state. Regional and national summaries for each measure of college readiness are also provided for additional context.
This tool allows users to quickly identify average score change and percentile rank, by selecting both current and prior year average Composite scores, as well as number of ACT-tested graduates for the current year. After selections are made, the tool automatically populates the school’s score change, percentile rank, and additional interpretive text.
This database provides the counts, percentages, cumulative counts, and cumulative percentages for the full ACT Composite score distribution based on three scoring methods: most recent score, highest score from a single test attempt, and superscore based on the highest subject test scores across all test attempts. Such information can help stakeholders understand how many more students might earn scores at or above a specific ACT score given the change to superscoring. This information may be helpful to states and higher education institutions that have policies in place whereby students automatically qualify for merit aid and/or college admission if their ACT Composite score meets a minimum threshold. Users can view the data nationally or by US state.
