ACT High Achievers in the MENA Region
MENA Region High Achievers Program
We are excited to introduce the MENA Region High Achievers program designed to recognize and celebrate the outstanding achievements of students who have excelled on the ACT during the 2024-25 school year. This initiative aims to honor the highest academic achievers and the parents, educators and administrators that have helped them on their path. Individual events celebrating these students will be held in 2025 and 2026.
During the 2024-25 school year fewer than 2% of students globally (of the more than 2,372,000 attempt on the ACT in that year) achieved an Apex score of 34, 35, or 36 on the ACT.
The table below shows the number of top scoring students in Egypt, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates:
