ACT composite score

The ACT composite score is an overall number that reflects a student's performance on the test's four main sections: English, Math, Reading, and Science. Each section is scored on a scale from 1 to 36. The composite score is the average of these four scores, rounded to the nearest whole number, providing a single measure of academic ability in core subject areas. It helps colleges assess a student's preparedness for college-level work, with higher scores indicating stronger performance.
