The nonprofit organization, which administers the exam, said only about 42 percent of test-takers, about 712,000 students, met a benchmark that indicates they’re likely ready for college-level work or career-training programs. The benchmark is a combined score of 1,550 or higher for math, reading and writing. The percentage meeting that benchmark has largely remained the same in the past few years.
