ACT scores reflective of your knowledge?

Ok, so basically ACT evaluations measure linguistic & logical/mathematical skills.

And I was wondering, do you think your scores are reflective of your actual knowledge in these areas? Why?

Not exactly. For the test just measuring your placement within a whole set of learnable objectives in a certain stream of knowledge. You can know things all around it’s edges and above and below. So it is useful for going to college with which the continueing of a certain thread of knowledge can be built upon.

Tests are also relative. Relative to the state of mind you were in at the moment of test.

I don’t think any test can measure how smart or how knowledgeable you are about anything, but a good score may be necessary as a way of a lot of admission into colleges and universities.

The score in math probably shows what you know.

All of the other tests are really just reading tests.
