To convert your 1979 ACT score to percentile scores, you can reference historical data from the ACT organization, which provides percentile ranks for various scores. You may need to find a specific ACT score percentile table from that year, as percentiles can change annually based on the performance of test-takers. Alternatively, tools or resources that aggregate historical ACT data can help you identify the corresponding percentile for your score. If you cannot find specific data from 1979, you might consider using more recent percentile data as a general guide, keeping in mind that it may not be perfectly accurate for that year.
