It will hurt but if profile is strong then no issues

Dear Pukhraj,

ACT is an examination used for admission to undergraduate programs in US, Canada and a few other countries. 

The exam which of 2 hours and 45 minutes + an optional essay (40 minutes) is conducted 5 times around the world. 

Please visit ACT  to know more about the exam.

Best wishes,

It is just not the score, but the candidate profile too which matters. Aim scoring above 25-30 to get into decent colleges and more than 30 to get into good colleges.

Good Luck.

Hi, Yes it shall affect your academic performance in school. Though it varies in universities abroad as all have their own parameters. One has to aim for high grades in school specially class 10th, 12th. Apart from this partcipation in some extracurricular activities in the school or even outside shall help you to build up interesting profile. If you can get recognition from some sort of national or international competition (esp. international olympiad or international research competition), that will help your chances a lot. So this is how much it matters.
