What ACT score does it take

I believe the SEC minimum is 17. NCAA minimum is 15. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

so there are different numbers for athletes and general students,,,interesting

Correct.

Most schools go off of a prediction of academic success that combines GPA and standardized test scores. Same with graduate school, except that letters of recommendation weigh in on grad school acceptance.

It's a rather week prediction at about 9% accuracy, but it's the best that's currently available.

My highschool had an ACT Prep class that you take for an entire semester and it helped me bring my ACT score from a 19 (as a freshman) to a 27 (as a junior). Every school should require it.

for the Ncaa , it is a combination of your gpa and act, but also athletes are allowed to combined their sections when thet take the test, but general students are not allowed to do that. for instance , on the math if an athlete make a 9 one time and a 12 the next, he is allowed to use the 12 to raise his score on another test

I don't see what you are getting at. Students face less of a cutoff, and more of trying to be competitive against the rest of the applicants. Athletes just need to qualify, it is a different process.

This actually depends on the school I think. I know some (most?) schools I applied to allow for split SATs.

I think the ACT score for non-athletes is 24 right now for LSU

The ACT score represents the total of the four sections. Athletes get to use the best scores from each subsection (from multiple sittings).

Therefore, an 80 ACT= 20 ACT

Also, the SAT is math + verbal only
