Why Your ACT Score is Important
The ACT test is important to colleges and universities because they use it to compare you to other applicants, assess your academic readiness for college, and determine if you would be a good fit at their school.
If your test scores are not high enough, your strong GPA, outstanding essay, challenging course load, dedication to community service, extracurricular activities, and excellent teacher recommendations may not even be reviewed by admissions officers. When the stakes are this high, the most important approach is to spend time preparing for the test in order to get the highest score possible.
Great ACT scores can also make up for other areas of your application that may not be up to par, such as a weak grade in a class. You will also want a competitive score to improve your scholarship chances. A higher ACT score can give you a boost in these areas.
