Abstract
The American College Testing (ACT) provides university admissions offices a look into a student’s academic ability so that the university can determine admittance and scholarships. The premise of this study is to see whether this is the most effective way to determine academic ability, using the Logistic Regression Model. The data was collected from October 21, 2021 to December 31, 2021 at Louisiana Tech University. Using the Logistic Regression Model, predictions of academic excellence are obtained based on the parameters outlined in this paper. After the parameters for the Logistic Regression Model are calculated, conclusions can be drawn that the ACT is not an effective predictor of academic excellence.
