4. EXPLORE, PLAN and ACT Reading and Math Benchmarks The ACT College Readiness Benchmarks were established from a large study of over 10,000 High Schools and over 400,000 students. The validity of the EXPLORE, PLAN and ACT College Readiness Benchmarks was investigated with a study of 76,000 students and over 90 colleges.
