This change will make it easier for students, parents, and educators to gain deeper insight into students’ performance and better understand strengths and areas for improvement in each subject. In this report, reporting category outcomes indicate the percentage of students with reporting category scores falling within associated ACT Readiness Ranges. These ranges reflect where a student who as met an associated ACT College Readiness Benchmark would typically perform in each reporting category.
