Hey fam, I've taken the Pre-ACT as a sophomore and I'm slightly apprehensive about my score. I'd appreciate if someone could tell me what the average Pre-ACT score for sophomores is. It'd really help me understand where I stand!
The Pre-ACT involves the same core subjects—English, Math, Reading, and Science—as the ACT, but it's aimed at earlier high school students, particularly sophomores. The maximum score you can achieve on the Pre-ACT is 35.
When understanding what an "average" score might look like, it's important to keep in mind that the Pre-ACT is a practice test designed to prepare students for the official ACT, so there isn't an official, nationwide average score published. However, considering that the average ACT score is typically around 20-21, one might assume that most sophomores score slightly lower than this on the Pre-ACT given they're still early in their high school careers and haven't covered all the material yet.
But remember, perhaps most importantly, the main objective of the Pre-ACT is to help you identify your strengths and pinpoint areas for improvement. Use your score as a tool for guiding your study plan, not as a definite predict of future performance. Stay positive, review your results carefully, set a study plan, and continue working hard; that score will improve in no time!
