About one-quarter of 1% of students who take the ACT earn a top score. In the U.S. high school graduating class of 2023, only 2,542 out of more than 1.39 million students who took the ACT earned a top composite score of 36.

The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading, and science, each scored on a scale of 1-36. A student’s composite score is the average of the four test scores. The score for ACT’s optional writing test is reported separately and is not Included within the ACT composite score.

“Earning a top score on the ACT Is a remarkable achievement,” said ACT CEO Janet Godwin. “A student’s exceptional score of 36 will provide any college or university with ample evidence of their readiness for the academic rigors that lie ahead.”

The ACT Is a curriculum-based achievement exam that measures what students have learned in school. Students who earn a 36 composite score have likely mastered all of the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed in first-year college courses in the core subject areas.

ACT scores are accepted by major four-year college and universities across the U.S.

“We are proud to celebrate Alexander Rose for achieving a perfect score on the ACT,” Brookbank said. “This remarkable accomplishment reflects not only his exceptional academic abilities, but also his dedication, hard work, and perseverance. Alexander’s academic achievements are an inspiration to his peers and the Moeller community.”
