Message from the President of the ACT

Message from the President of the Education Division of the ACT

Every year, ACT provides an update on the college and career readiness of ACT-tested high school graduates...

* ACT-tested U.S. high school graduates appear to be making slow but steady progress at becoming ready for college and career. The 2011 ACT test results show a growing % of students meeting all 4 of the ACT College Readiness Benchmarks, increasing 1 % point over last year and 4 % points since 2006. This has occurred as the population of ACT-tested graduates has grown to new levels - up to over 49% of the the 2011 graduating class - and become more diverse.
* The ACT report also indicates there is substantial room for improvement in college and career readiness. Among 2011 ACT-tested graduates, a combined total of 43 % met either none (28%) or only one (15%) of the 4 ACT College Readiness Benchmarks. Those students are lacking many of the skills they will need to succeed in credit-bearing first-year college courses and workforce training programs this fall.
