<p>Hello everyone! Like many people who don't get the score they wanted on the ACT, I decided to take it a second time. The problem is, I got the same composite score twice, but my subscores are (surprisingly) pretty varied. So I have a few questions:</p>
<p>Does UIUC take subscores into consideration?</p>
<p>I am planning on applying as an English major, so I thought that maybe my higher English subscore would look better, even though the math score is so low (I'm pretty bad at math, what can I say). But I also thought that the score report with my higher math and science scores would make me look more well-rounded. Which one do you guys think I should go with? </p>
<p>“Performance on standardized tests.
Illinois does not have any minimum scores or “cutoffs” for making any undergraduate admissions decisions. Readers evaluate the results of the required ACT and/or SAT test results. The highest composite score is used for evaluation. Colleges will often evaluate results from the sub-scores (English, Math, etc.). If an applicant submits scores from more than one test date, the highest sub-score(s) will be used in this evaluation. However, Illinois does not combine the highest sub-scores from different test sittings to create a “super-score” composite.”</p>
