Glenbard West Student Achieves Perfect ACT

Submitted by Glenbard Township High School District 87

Congratulations to Glenbard West High School student Matthew Udelhofen, who received a 36 on the ACT.

Udelhofen is one of a very few students in Illinois to earn a perfect composite score on the ACT.  Typically, less than one-tenth of one percent of high school students receives a composite score of 36.

The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science. Each test is scored on a scale of 1-36, and a student's composite score is the average of the four test scores. Some students also take ACT’s optional Writing Test, but the score for that test is reported separately and is not included within the ACT composite score.

The ACT is the most widely accepted college entrance exam, and exceptional scores of 36 provide colleges with evidence of student readiness for the academic rigors that lie ahead.
