ACT average scores per state

Does anyone know where I can find info on the average ACT scores by state? I'm curious to see how my score stacks up in my state.

The ACT organization itself releases a report each year detailing the average ACT scores per state. You might want to check on their website or do a quick internet search for the most recent data. These reports usually contain comprehensive information, not only about the average composite scores per state but also about the participation rates and individual section averages.

Remember that these averages can vary widely depending on several factors such as the state's percentage of test takers, the type of colleges most students in the state apply to, and specific state education policies.

However, it's also crucial to remind yourself that while it can be interesting to compare yourself to your state average, college admissions do not typically evaluate you alongside the average in your state, but rather in the context of your school and in comparison to the other applicants. So if you feel your score falls short, it's not necessarily a red flag. Instead, focus on how your score compares to the middle 50% range of scores at the colleges you are interested in, as well as your other qualities and achievements.
