College Admissions Test Stats

Just one final reminder that tomorrow is the last day for any interested sophomores and juniors to register to take the Pre-ACT on November 8th.  The cost is $16 and registration and payment links are available on the WKHS Counselor website - www.wkhscounselors.com

But, with all of the talk of admissions tests both with PSAT coming up next week and PreACT sign up deadlines, I thought you might be interested in learning more about the past scoring trends in the nation and in Ohio for the ACT and the SAT.


Last year the average composite ACT score in Ohio was a 20.3

The average composite in the nation last year for the ACT was a 20.7.

Last year the average SAT score in Ohio was an 1070.

The average SAT score in the nation last year was a 1060.

And, if you are curious about how WKHS students, compare, last year the average ACT score for graduating seniors was a 23 and the average SAT score was a 1230.  (FYI, Kilbourne's data is somewhat skewed because FAR more students (all graduates) took the ACT, but very few took the SAT.)

So, obviously, WKHS students are well prepared for the college admissions tests - and in large part this is due to the curriculum you get to have from your teachers in classes each day, but the practice tests also certainly help too.
