That is the SAT. 30 on the ACT is a great score.

While 30 is a fantastic score it is not really high enough for the schools listed above.

I'm not trying to be cute or rude, I just don't understand how the scoring works. My oldest is in 7th grade and I only took the SAT so I have no idea.

Not really. The scores don't scale out that way. It roughly means he scored better than 93% of the people taking the test.


For example, Univ of Alabama middle 25% to 75% of admissions scored between 22 to 31 whereas Clemson the same range is 27 to 31 and MIT (not as much of a football powerhouse), the score range is 33 to 35.

While we are being technical, you can still get a 36 on your ACT and get some questions wrong.

Also see http://www.act.org/content/dam/act/u...site-Ranks.pdf which shows the percentiles.
