using your act scores

Your ACT test score is more than a number. It is an indication of how prepared you are for college. While your ACT score is one component considered during the admissions process, it can also be a factor in:

• Course placement in first-year courses, especially when several sections of the same course are offered.
• Advising students on a course of study.
• Identification of qualified students for scholarships and financial aid.

The most important use of your ACT score is college planning. You can use your score to:

• See how you compare to other students.
• Match the requirements of your preferred colleges.
• Determine strengths and areas for development in your own skills.
• Compare against your grades to see how you are applying the knowledge you learn.
