Average scores on the ACT from the high school graduating class of 2022 dropped to their lowest point in 30 years. The national average composite score for the graduating class of 2022 was 19.8 out of a possible 36, down from 20.3 among the graduating class of 2021. It marks the lowest average score since 1991, according to the ACT organization. While the ACT noted the graduating class of 2022 suffered the effects of the coronavirus pandemic throughout their time in high school, including their sophomore, junior and senior years for some, the organization noted scores were declining before the global spread of COVID-19. #act #standardizedtesting #testscores
