Median Range ACT Scores of the some top US Universities

We’ve selected a mix of top universities and upper tier universities. The scores below represent the “middle 50% of scores,” meaning 25% of students scored lower and 25% of students scored higher.

How Is The ACT Score Calculated?

First, the ACT tallies up all the correct responses in each section. It’s essential to understand that the ACT does not subtract points for wrong answers. Thus, guessing carries no risk. Ensure you select an answer for every question.

Subsequently, the ACT transforms these raw scores into scaled scores, which are then utilized to determine your overall composite score. The scoring can differ depending on the particular test administered.

The composite score represents the average of your scores from the four sections, rounded to the closest whole number. Colleges only receive this composite score along with the individual section scores from the tests you choose to submit.

    Perfect 45

    Marie got a perfect 45 predicted for her UCAS. We are grateful to Ascend for this!

    Tremendous support from Performance Coaches

    Neither my husband nor I have the time to take care of our kids’ educational journey, having a performance coach on our behalf has been of tremendous support and help!

    We are in awe

    We are in awe of the generous and professional support Ascend Now has extended to my daughter. Her success is directly linear to the IB curriculum support they have given, enabling her to land a predicted score of a perfect 45 and having a real shot at applying for Yale!! This would never have been possible without Ascend Now.

    Nothing wrong I can say

    My experience with Arshiya was fabulous to be honest, there is nothing wrong I can say about her. She really helped me with the Psychology IA and I really appreciate all the help and feedback provided. Thanks very much.

    Doubled my exam scores

    Last year Manjula taught me a lot and has doubled my exam scores, because of her positive influence on me I would like to continue lessons with her, I have a exam on the 18th of this month so if we could arrange lessons before that, it would be perfect. Thanks a lot.

    Wonderful teachers

    Both teachers have been really wonderful, and we want to keep them for next year for Raouf, thanks for your efforts!

    Thank you for all the help and support

    Maddie’s TOK essay has been submitted – all done with IAs!! 🙏🥳 Thank you eveyone for your help and support along the way. Super appreciated. I believe Maddie has thanked Arshiya directly, but pls pass on my thanks too! Enjoy the weekend. We’ll be in touch next week 🙂

    Miraculous and incredible support

    Thanks for the incredible support to Annabelle on her IA Biology which you miraculously sorted out with an American Biology teacher in Japan. Annabelle said he was A M A Z I N G. You are absolutely amazing.

    Happy with progress

    Yes I am happy with her progress too. Even talking about Math in general, my daughter is a lot more positive about it than she was before 👍

    Engaging sessions

    I believe you are an amazing teacher, I like how you organise the lessons and you make our sessions very engaging. The notes were very helpful and applying the knowledge I had gained in tests, past papers in homework made me feel like I was making progress.
