An aCT Readiness Benchmark is provided for each assessment. Students who score at or above these benchmarks are on target to meet ACT’s College and Career Readiness Benchmarks when they leave high school.A student on target for College and Career Readiness is performing at an academic achievement level that indicates they are likely to be successful in college or job training after high school.
The aCT Readiness Range shows where a student who has met the aCT Readiness Benchmark on this assessment would typically perform.The predicted path for each assessment is a projection of where scores will fall based upon expected growth rates.The national average is the mean score of all students in the norm group for the grade and subject shown.

Students must read and understand increasingly complex texts to prepare for the reading demands of college and career. Examples of factors that contribute to text complexity are vocabulary level and sentence structure. The reading test measures progress with text complexity by checking for understanding of texts from a range of complexity levels.
Sufficient Progress
NoYes
Continue to build reading experiences with increasingly complex texts about a variety of subjects. Reading routines should include some careful reading of challenging texts with a focus on unfamiliar language and ideas that are central to the meaning.These books demonstrate text complexity that represents sufficient progress toward college and career readiness for grade 9:• ThingsFallApartby Chinua Achebe• LifebytheNumbersby Keith Devlin

In order to read complex texts, students need reading experiences with increasingly complex texts from a variety of genres across disciplines. Reading routines should include careful reading of challenging texts with a focus on problem-solving unfamiliar language and concepts that are central to the meaning.
Developing strong science and math skills affords your students the opportunity to take interesting courses, and pursue engaging college majors that may lead to rewarding STEM careers in the future.Help your students prepare by encouraging them to take challenging high school or vocational courses in science and math.
