Hey, I'm currently prepping for the ACT and I'd like to know what a good target score for the Math section is. Anyone know what the average Math score is? Thanks in advance!
Hey! Good luck with your ACT prep! The average Math score on the ACT has recently been around 17. However, setting a target score depends on your individual goals and the colleges you're interested in applying to. It's essential to research the average ACT scores of admitted students at your target schools to figure out an appropriate goal for your Math score.
That said, always aim high and try your best to maximize your potential. If you can hit a score above 30 in Math, you'll be well above average and increase your chances of being competitive at most schools. Just remember that the Math section is only one part of your overall ACT score, so it's equally essential to focus on the other sections as well. Good luck, and I hope your test preparation goes well!
