OKLAHOMA CITY (BlackNews.com) – The average composite ACT score for African Americans in 2012 was 17.0, compare that to the national average of 21.1. Some universities will accept a low ACT score but they may require the student to take remedial classes in their freshman and/or sophomore year. Remedial classes typically cover class work that students should have but did not master in high school. Unfortunately, if you go into remedial classes it costs the same as your other classes and takes the same amount of time, but you don’t get college credit. According to a 2011 and 2012 report by The College Board, as of 2008, 47.3% of African American first and second year undergraduate students in the United States are in remedial courses after high school and these same students are less likely to succeed – in their performance, persistence and degree.
