STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

ACT

The ACT, a curriculum-based achievement exam, is used to assess what students have learned throughout their

academic career and is not based on the student’s aptitude for learning. Based on the ACT College Readiness

Standards, ACT results provide a means to measure what students need to know to be prepared for the transition to

higher learning.

Thanks to a partnership between the Office of Public Instruction (OPI) and the Office of the Commissioner of Higher

Education’s (OCHE’s) Montana GEAR UP, a grant was secured to provide ACT testing at no cost to all Montana public

high school juniors for four years beginning in April of 2012. Offering the ACT to high school juniors provides an early

readiness assessment, giving students an opportunity to adjust their coursework to be ready for the next

step…..admission into college.

The ACT consists of tests in educational development in English, mathematics, reading, and science and results are

converted to “scale scores”. The Composite score and each test score (English, Mathematics, Reading, Science) range

from 1 (low) to 36 (high). (There is no direct, arithmetic relationship between subscores and test scores – test

subscores do not add up to the test score.)
