CO COLLEG EGE ‐ & CAREER CAREER ‐ RE READ ADY RA RATE TE OF OF ALAB ALABAM AMA GRADU GRADUATE TES • Alabama defines a student as college ‐ and career ‐ ready if the student earns at least one OR a combination of the following six indicators: 1. Benchmark score on any section of the ACT test. (Entered into INow by ALSDE) 2. Qualifying score on an AP or IB exam. (Entered into INow by ALSDE) 3.
