Hey all, just a fellow junior mulling over college admissions. For those residing in Georgia or familiar with it, how does the average ACT score in Georgia compare to the national average? Is it high, low, or about the same?
Hello! The ACT score for each state can vary due to many factors such as the number of students taking the exam, educational standards, and more. According to the most recent data, the average ACT score nationwide floats somewhere around 20.7. In Georgia, that average has typically come in a touch higher, with a composite score around 21.6.
It's important to remember that these are state averages and not necessarily representative of scores accepted at all colleges in the state. More competitive colleges will often expect higher scores. Good luck with your testing and applications!
