How Schools Use Your ACT Scores
Potential colleges and universities use your score report as a window into who you are.
Colleges and universities use the various score ranks to evaluate your potential. For example, if you rank high in a particular section that matches well with a specific program, that bodes well for you.
A lower rank in other areas clearly shows either:
- You likely shouldn’t pursue that academic program
- You need to take additional classes to improve your skills and knowledge
ACT score reports contain a wealth of information that you and prospective schools can use in decision-making.
