Bonus Round…

Here’s a fun fact... Each question you answered directly aligns to a Reporting Category within the ��TVCollege and Career Readiness Standards. These Standards describe what students who score in specific score ranges on the ACT® mathematics section are likely to know and be able to do.

For example, in the table below, the first question was aligned to the Algebra (401) reporting category and represents math content in the 20-23 score range on the ACT. If a student in the 9th grade got this question (or any question at an 18 or higher score range) they are considered "on target" for that score range.
