Hey y'all, I'm from Texas and I just took the ACT. I was hoping to find out what the average ACT score is in my state. Anyone have any info on this? Thanks in advance!
Hello! The average ACT score in Texas typically falls around a 23. Please note that this average may vary slightly from year to year, and it's important to keep in mind that the scores of your peers will not directly influence your chances of admission to a particular college or university. Schools evaluate your academic performance in the context of your particular school and personal circumstances, not something as broad as your state.
Additionally, it's always beneficial to research the specific schools you are interested in to see their expected ACT score ranges for admitted students to get a better idea of where your score stands in comparison. Schools set their own standards for ACT scores, regardless of which state you come from or which state the school is located in, and that information will be more informative to you as you plan your college process.
Good luck with your college applications!
