College & Career Readiness

ACT defines college and career readiness as… having the knowledge and skills needed to enroll and succeed in credit-bearing, first-year courses at a postsecondary institution (such as a two- or four-year college, trade school, or technical school) without the need for remediation.

The ACT uses National RanksNational Ranks show the percent of students who took the

test and scored at, below, or above each of your scores.

You can use the ranks to get a sense of your strengths and weaknesses in the four general subject areas.

A high rank in a content area may suggest a good chance of success in related college majors and careers.

A low rank may indicate that you need to develop your skills more by taking additional coursework in that area.

Career Exploration

The ACT Interest Inventory provides a focus to career exploration, not by singling out the

one "right" occupation, but rather by pointing to world-of-work regions individuals

may wish to explore. Through exploration, people may find occupations they might

otherwise have missed.http://www.actstudent.org/career/

Encourage your child to take challenging courses.
