You can also see how a child is doing in combined subject areas such as English language arts (ELA) science and math (STEM). The report also shows how s student performed in specific skill areas within each subject. Finally, you can see how scores compare to those of other students who have taken ACT Aspire.

11 National Percentile Your score for each subject is also associated with a National Percentile Rank that shows how your score compares to other students who tested in 2013 and In figure 4, the score report shows “78th” next to the sample student’s English score. This means that the sample student scored as high as or higher than 78% of students in the national comparison group. The bar graph helps you see which of your scores are strongest and weakest relative to other students.
