if you’re a high school student contemplating your future, you\u2019re probably wondering what act score you should aim for<\/a>. in this post, we’ll look in particular at how to get a 23 score on the act.<\/p>\n

why 23? if you’re hoping to attend college, a 23 score is high enough that your post-high school dreams will most likely come true. in 2016, the average act score was 20.8. by scoring 23 or higher on the act, you’re making yourself into a competitive candidate at a large number of colleges and universities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

what does it mean to get a 23 score on the act?<\/h2>\n

to earn a 23 score on the act, you need to achieve certain raw scores<\/a> in each of the four subject tests: english, mathematics, reading, and science. raw scores are just the number of questions you answer correctly in each section. <\/p>\n

for example, here are the minimum number of questions you need to answer correctly to earn a composite score of 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

fortunately for you, if you score higher one or more of the tests, it\u2019s okay to do a little<\/strong> bit worse on another test. that being said, take some comfort in the fact that you have a lot of wiggle room to reach your goal.<\/p>\n

so how should i study for the act?<\/h2>\n

though you’re aiming to earn a 23, everyone’s act study plan should have the same starting line:<\/p>\n
