ACT National Research Initiatives
ACT is a nonprofit organization committed to producing research that addresses key issues in
education and workforce development. We provide policymakers with research-based insights to
inform their policy decisions, and we furnish educators and workforce development professionals
with the tools they need to guide individuals along their education and career paths. Our goal for
individuals is to empower them with the information they need to make decisions about their future.
The Condition of College & Career Readiness
ACT has collected and reported data on students’ academic readiness for college for more than 50
years. The Condition of College & Career Readiness reports provide national and state snapshots of
college readiness among the graduating seniors who took the
ACT®
test in high school each year. These reports are based on
the ACT College Readiness Benchmarks and ACT scores.
The Condition of College & Career Readiness provides a wealth
of data on the graduating class, including academic preparation,
career plans, and readiness for college work. In addition, by
analyzing student characteristics, the ACT Condition of College
& Career Readiness reports help identify learners that often
lack access to high-quality educational and career planning
opportunities and resources. The ACT Condition of College &
Career Readiness reports include:
•	 National report
•	 State reports
•	 African American Students report
•	 American Indian Students report
•	 Asian Students report
•	 First-Generation Students report
•	 Future Educators report
•	 Hispanic Students report
•	 Linguistically Diverse Students report
•	 Pacific Islander Students report
•	 Students from Low-Income report

The Condition of STEM
This annual report series reviews the current graduating
class in the context of STEM-related (science, technology,
engineering, mathematics) fields to determine student
interest levels in specific STEM fields and, more
importantly, readiness in math and science among students
interested in STEM careers.
College Choice Report
The College Choice Report is an annual series
that provides insights into the previous year’s
ACT-tested high school graduating class from
high school into college and beyond.
•	 Part 1: Preferences and Prospects
•	 Part 2: Enrollment Patterns
•	 Part 3: Persistence and Transfer
ACT promotes education and workforce policy solutions at the
national, state, and local levels. For additional reports, go to
