Is a 22 ACT good?

A score of 22 is better than average. It situates you in the top 63rd percentile on the national scale, outperforming the majority of the 2 million ACT test takers. This score signifies your above 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 22 score represents 61% of the total possible points.
