 Test Scores

The Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) are annual tests used to measure a student's mastery of the state's grade-level academic standards.

Students are assessed in grades 3, 8, and 10 in reading; grades 3 through 8 and 11 are assessed in math; grades 4, 7 and 11 are assessed in science; grades 4, 8 and 11 are assessed in social studies and arts & humanities; grades 4, 7 and 10 are assessed in practical living/vocational studies; and grades 4, 5, 7, 8 and 12 are assessed in writing.

The state uses an academic index ranging from 0-140. A score of 100 denotes a passing score. Students are scored at four levels: novice, apprentice, proficient or distinguished. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.

The ACT is a national college admissions test used to assess student performance in high school curriculum areas.

The ACT Composite score is an average of English, math, reading, and science scores. The scores reported are for 12th grade students who have taken the test in grades 10, 11 or 12.

ACT scores range from a low score of 1 to a high score of 36.
