1. The state board of higher education shall rank scholars program applicants by their
ACT composite scores or equivalent scores on a nationally recognized standardized
test approved by the state board of higher education.
2. If two or more applicants have the same scores as determined in subsection 1, they
must be ranked by the numeric sum of their scale scores on the ACT or equivalent
scores. If a nationally recognized standardized test approved by the state board of
higher education does not calculate scale scores, the equivalent will be zero.
