What is the average ACT score?

Question

I'm 13 and took the ACT through this Duke program. I got a 28. What is the average score and what does that mean?!

Answer 1

great score man, definitely good enough score to get you looked at by most colleges and universities...as for the average score, i believe i was told around 18 or so

Answer 2

The average composite score is around 22. This means that you're on your way to a successful life with choices in college and careers; Good work!

Answer 3

it means ur hella smart for ur age, i would say a good average is like 22 or 21

Answer 4

Average score is like 18. A 28 puts you in about the 90th or 95th percentile. That is great at any age if you took the national ACT.

Did you take the national test (College Board reconized) or some specialized version? You said you took it through a Duke program, what's the program? I know some of the colleges around here offer an ACT that is not recognized by the national College Board. The scores on it tend to be inflated. If you haven't taken the College Board ACT then you need to.
