ACT College Readiness Standards

The ACT College Readiness Standards outline the skills students need to succeed in college-level work. They identify key knowledge and abilities in areas like English, math, reading, and science that students should have mastered by high school. These standards help educators focus their teaching to prepare students for the academic challenges of college, ensuring they can think critically, analyze information, and solve problems effectively. In essence, they serve as benchmarks to measure whether students are on track to perform well in postsecondary education and beyond.
