Is 30 a good ACT score?

Answer 1

It is a good score! But it really depends on what school you are trying to get into. A state school: It is a very good score and you will be fine. School more competative: Their ranges are typically like 22-28 or so and you will most likey get in (also depending on GPA). Schools like Harvard: Sorry but no where near good enough. So, depends on the school. 25 is a good score and about 81% in the U.S. But if you are looking for scholarships...that is another issue because I got a 25 and have over a 4.0 and I needed scholarship money..and you get good money when you get a 28. With a 25 and a decent GPA, you will get a little money but if you want a lot of money, you have to raise it a couple points. But overall, pretty good score!

Answer 2

I got a 26 on my ACTand I am soon to be a senior, and I have a 3.5 GPA. Most of my teachers have guaranteed that I will get into a top 100 school easily. So I would say yes, a very good score.

Answer 3

36 is the highest score you can get on the ACT. Average is 22-23. You're just above it.

A 24 will weigh you down quite a bit if you're aiming for universities like University of Illinois- Urbana, University of Michigan. The people who apply to universities like those typically score in the 30s range. If you're aiming as high as MIT and Harvard, they're typically high 30s and have quite a bit of almost, near perfects (35,36).

If you're not aiming quite that high, you're going to have a relatively easy time getting into universities, assuming your GPA is at or above a 3.00

Answer 4

A score of 25 on the ACT English would put you in the 78th percentile. That means you did better than 78% of test takers nationwide. Whether or not that is "good" depends on the college you are applying to. For Harvard that would not be considered a good score by for Cal State Los Angeles it would. It just depends.

Answer 5

Students who take the ACT test for college admissions are presented with a number of section scores that are then compiled to create a composite score. This composite score is often one of the biggest factors colleges and universities consider when deciding whether to admit a student. Both the section and composite scores are given on a scale of 1 to 36, with 36 being the highest score possible. The national average composite score on the ACT ranges from 20-22, with 50% - 60% of students scoring 20-22 or below. A score of 24 on the ACT is thus above average, and can be considered competitive depending on the college or university a student is applying to. However, if a student were applying for a top tier or Ivy League school, they would need to score above 30 to be considered competitive. There are exceptions to the importance of the composite score. For example, if a student is applying to a math program for undergraduate study and scores a 31 on their Math section score, but lower on their Reading and English section scores, the program may give more importance to the higher math score than the lower composite score.

Answer 6

This is an okay ACT score. It meet bench marks but will not get you a scholarship just because of the score.

Answer 7

An ACT of 30 will be on the upper end for most large state schools, in the middle for more exclusive private schools, and on the lower end for selective private schools.

Answer 8

Yes, it puts you in the 92%+ percentile. The highest score is a 36. see link for more info on ACT scores.

Answer 9

No, and I even got a 16. You won't go anywhere with that. Even though the ACT says there are no passing/failing grades, You wont go anywhere with a score lower than 19

Answer 10

Yes you only need a 16
