A score of 19 is a little worse than average. It situates you in the bottom 44th percentile on the national scale, underperforming the majority of the 2 million ACT test takers. This score signifies your slightly below average performance in answering questions in the English, Math, Reading and Science sections of the exam. The ACT is scored out of a maximum of 36 and a minimum of 1, meaning your 19 score represents 53% of the total possible points.
