Hi folks, trying to get a grasp on what the average ACT score is for students in Minnesota. Are there any resources on this or does anyone have information that could help?
Hello! According to the most recent data released by ACT, the average ACT score for students in Minnesota for the year under assessment was around 21. This is generally in the same ballpark as the national average, which tends to hover around 20-21. It's worth noting that these averages can vary slightly from year to year.
Remember, though, while it's good to understand the average, focus on your own goals and which universities you're aiming to apply to. College admission offices will look at your score in the context of their applicant pool, and what might be an impressive score in the Minnesota average context might be less so for a particularly competitive institution.
Keep at it and aim for the highest score you can, using the average just as a reference point. Good luck with your ACT preparation!
