College Readiness Standards – Giving Clearer Meaning to Test Scores

The ACT College and Career Readiness Standards are the backbones of ACT assessments.

The standards are empirically derived descriptions of the essential skills and knowledge students need to become ready for college and career, giving clear meaning to test scores and serving as a link between what students have learned and what they are ready to learn next. Parents, teachers, counselors, and students use the standards to:

Communicate widely shared learning goals and expectations
Relate test scores to the skills needed in high school and beyond
Understand the increasing complexity of skills needed across the score ranges in English, mathematics, reading, science, and writing

The standards encompass the many paths available to students after high school, and they reflect our ability to provide insights related to both college and career readiness.

Test Day Tips

Get plenty of rest the night before the test.
If you feel nervous before beginning, try taking a few deep breaths.
Maintain confidence in your abilities and expect to do your best.
Read and listen carefully to all instructions and ask questions if you don’t understand something.
Focus your attention entirely on your work.
Position your answer sheet next to your test booklet so you can mark your answers quickly and accurately.
Before answering each question, read it completely, as well as all the possible responses.
When you are unsure of an answer, choose the one you think it best and go on to the next question.
Be sure to answer every question.
Pace yourself throughout the test by occasionally checking the time.
If you complete the test before time is up, reread the questions and check your answers
