Use this guide, along with your report, to get a better sense of where you are, where you might want to go, and how to  \nget there.  \nHow Am I Doing so Far?  \nYour PreACT or PreACT 8/9 Student Report shows your relative strengths and  \nweaknesses in four subject areas important for success in college: English,  \nmath, reading, and science. Ask your counselor how you can improve in areas  \nwhere you are not as strong.  \nWhat Are My Plans and Goals After High School?  \nWhen you took PreACT or PreACT 8/9, you may have answered questions about the courses you are taking or plan to take in high school, your career interests, and your plans after high school. This information will help you see whether  \nyou need to change your career or educational plans to meet your goals.  \nAm I On Target for College?  \nYour PreACT or PreACT 8/9 Student Report shows you how well you are  \nlearning the skills you’ll need to be ready for college. Most likely, you have  \nlearned some of these skills better than others.  \nUse your PreACT or PreACT 8/9 Student Report to help you strengthen those  \nskills that you still need to work on.

PreACT takes the number of questions you got right on each test and translates it into a number between 1 and 35 (called a “scale score”) .  \nFor PreACT 8/9, your scores are between 1 (the lowest score you can receive)  \nand 30 (the highest score you can receive) . Similarly, PreACT 8/9 takes the number of questions you got right, of the items that count toward your scores, in each test and translates it into a number between 1 and 30. Just like grades, your scores tell you how well you did on each test.  \nScore Ranges  \nBecause no test can measure educational development with absolute  \nprecision, it’s best to think of each of your PreACT or PreACT 8/9 scores as a  \nrange rather than as a precise point. Your PreACT or PreACT 8/9 score ranges  \nare shown on your Student Report by the colored boxes on the graph below  \nyour scores.  \nThe heavy line within the colored boxes is your scale score. The graph also  \nincludes light gray lines with a number next to it. These are the PreACT or  \nPreACT 8/9 Readiness Benchmarks.  \nComposite Scores  \nYour Composite score is simply the average of the English, math, and reading  \ntest scores (rounded to a whole number) . In the same way your overall grade point average in school shows how well you are doing across all your different classes, your ","cbCaivueorlOHQuh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivueorlOHQuh","pdf",1030267,13,"English","# Understanding Your Results\n## How Am I Doing so Far?\n## What Are My Plans and Goals After High School?\n## Am I On Target for College?\n# What Your Scores Mean\n## Score Ranges\n## Composite Scores\n## STEM Score\n## Your Predicted ACT Score Ranges","[{\"question\":\"What scores are included in the PreACT or PreACT 8/9 Student Report?\",\"answer\":\"The report includes composite, subject, and STEM scores, predicted ACT score ranges, and progress indicators, along with detailed results and item response information.\"},{\"question\":\"How should I interpret PreACT and PreACT 8/9 scores?\",\"answer\":\"Scores are shown as ranges rather than a single precise point, reflecting typical variation if you retake the test in a short time.\"},{\"question\":\"What does it mean if my scores are at or above the readiness benchmark?\",\"answer\":\"Students at or above the benchmark are on target to meet ACT College Readiness Benchmarks when they reach 11th or 12th grade.\"}]","Using Your PreACT or PreACT 8/9 Results - What’s Inside - Understanding Your Results | PDF",1790053415,33]
