Am I on Track?
• PLAN is designed for 10th graders and the ACT
is designed for 11th and 12th graders. Over
time, PLAN and the ACT measure your college
readiness skills as you progress through high
school.
PLAN RESULTS
• Your scores are between 1 (the lowest score you
can receive) and 32 (the highest score you can
receive). PLAN takes the number of questions you
got right on each test and translates it into a
number between 1 and 32.
• Just like grades, your scores tell you how well you
did on each test.
• Your Composite score is simply the average of
your test scores in English, Mathematics,
Reading, and Science (rounded to a whole
number).
How Can I Improve?
• The back of your Score Report describes the
skills and knowledge you already probably
have.
• You'll also see some ideas for improving even
more in the different subject areas. The
suggestions are based on your scores and can
help you do better.
