Oklahoma's average ACT score ranks 49th in the US, with state-mandated testing for all juniors.
Oklahoma's average ACT score is 17.6, ranking it second to last in the U.S., just above New Mexico. The state mandates all juniors take the ACT for accountability, unlike many states with lower participation rates.

Comparisons with other states testing all students show similar results.
