Hi all! I was wondering if anyone knows what the average ACT Science score is? I want to make sure I'm on track and competitive for college admissions. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Hi! The ACT Science section is scored on a scale of 1-36, just like the other sections. The average ACT Science score tends to be around 20-21. However, it's essential to consider that competitive scores for college admissions will vary depending on the schools you're applying to. For more selective colleges, a score in the upper 20s or above 30 would be more competitive.
It's crucial to focus on improving your overall ACT score and individual section scores to be a strong applicant. Remember, colleges will typically look at your composite score in addition to each section. Make sure to research the average ACT scores of admitted students at your target colleges to get a better understanding of what scores are considered competitive for those institutions. Good luck with your ACT prep and college applications!
