What's considered as the 95th percentile for ACT scores?

Hey guys! I want to aim for the 95th percentile on my upcoming ACT test. Can someone tell me the score range or cutoff for this percentile, please? Thanks in advance!

Sure, happy to help! For the ACT, the 95th percentile is generally a composite score of around 30-31 out of 36. Scoring in this range means that you've performed better than approximately 95% of test-takers. Keep in mind that the percentile ranks can slightly vary each year, but 30-31 is a good target to aim for if you want to achieve the 95th percentile. Best of luck on your upcoming ACT test!
