Jaden Cohen '25 earned the highest possible ACT composite score of 36.
About one-quarter of 1% of students who take the ACT earn a top score. In the U.S. high school graduating class of 2023, just 2,542 out of more than 1.39 million students who took the ACT earned a top composite score of 36.
Cohen who loves math and co-leads the robotics team at Pacific Ridge plans to study computer science in college.
The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading, and science, each scored on a scale of one to 36. A student’s composite score is the average of the four test scores.
“Earning a top score on the ACT is a remarkable achievement,” said ACT CEO Janet Godwin. “A student’s exceptional score of 36 will provide any college or university with ample evidence of their readiness for the academic rigors that lie ahead.”
The ACT is a curriculum-based achievement exam that measures what students have learned in school. Students who earn a 36 composite score have likely mastered all of the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed in first-year college courses in the core subject areas.
