ACT Benchmark Scores

ACT Benchmark Scores are specific scores set by the ACT organization that indicate whether a student is prepared for college-level coursework in various subjects, such as English, Math, Reading, and Science. These benchmarks help students and educators understand if a student has the skills needed for success in post-secondary education. Achieving or exceeding these scores suggests a higher likelihood of earning a C or better in relevant college courses, while scores below the benchmarks may signal a need for additional preparation before entering college.
