What Do My Scores Mean? Your scores are between 1 (the lowest
score you can receive) and 32 the highest score you can receive).
PLAN takes the number of questions you got right on each test and
translates it into a number between 1 and 32. Just like grades,
your scores tell you how well you did on each test. Your Composite
score is simply the average of your test scores in English,
Mathematics, Reading, and Science (rounded to a whole number). The
two scores directly under English and Math only range from 1 to 16.
They tell you how well you did in two specific areas of each
subject. These scores added together do NOT necessarily equal your
English or Math Test scores.
Slide 3
How Do My Scores Compare with Those of Other Students Who Took
PLAN? Next to your scores, you'll find the percent of students
scoring at or below your score. This shows you how your scores
compare to those of students across the country who took PLAN. The
example above shows 83% next to the student's English score. This
means she scored as high as or higher than 83% of students in the
comparison group who took PLAN. The other percents show how you
scored relative to other students who took PLAN in your school,
your school district, and your state.
Slide 4
Am I on Track? PLAN is designed for 10th graders and the ACT is
designed for 11th and 12th graders. Over time, PLAN and the ACT
measure your college readiness skills as you progress through high
school. Your PLAN scores can be used to predict how you are likely
to do if you take the ACT as an 11th or 12th grader and keep
working hard. The estimated ACT Composite score range is a
prediction about how you are likely to score on the ACT if you take
the right courses and work hard in those courses. You can use these
predicted or estimated scores to see if you are on track to achieve
the scores you want when you take the ACT later in high school.
(See EXPLORE, PLAN, and the ACT.) Keep in mind that these scores
are only estimates, not guarantees. Improving your study habits and
taking more challenging courses are likely to improve your ACT
scores.EXPLORE, PLAN, and the ACT
Slide 5
Your Future! When you took PLAN, you answered questions about
your future educational plans. This information can help you
clarify your goals and plan for your futureincluding, perhaps a
college education
Slide 6
Thinking about College? Your PLAN results give you an early
clue as to whether you will be ready for college- level work if you
keep doing the same things in school. ACT has also developed
College Readiness Benchmark Scores. If you meet these benchmark
scores, you are on your way to having the skills you will need by
the time you finish high school. The checkmarks show whether you
scored above, at, or below the benchmark scores.
Slide 7
Your Career Possibilities It's not too soon to begin exploring
possible careers! Your PLAN Score Report helps you start by
focusing on a few career areas. Exploring careers is easier if you
have a good map. Occupations that might be right for you.
Slide 8
Slide 9
How Can I Improve? The back of your Score Report describes the
skills and knowledge you already probably have. You'll also see
some ideas for improving even more in the different subject areas.
The suggestions are based on your scores and can help you do better
and make sure that you are college ready.
