Newton County School System 2015 ACT Scores

Education eMetro News Featured Newton

NCSS_LogoNewton County School System (NCSS) recently received the 2015 ACT college entrance exam scores. The district posted slight dips on the English and Math portions of the exam, with each average score decreasing by two tenths of one percent. NCSS’s Science and Composite scores both decreased by four tenths of one percent. The school system dropped eight tenths of one percent in reading.

Unlike the SAT, a reasoning test that measures critical thinking skills and assesses how well a student analyzes and solves problems, the ACT is a series of curriculum-based, multiple choice tests that cover content knowledge in four basic skill areas: English (College English Composition), math (College Algebra), reading (College Social Science), and science (College Biology). Students also receive a composite score on the exam, which is scored on a scale from 0 to 36. The ACT also has an optional writing test.
