Act Important

<p>Do colleges mix and match the best scores of tests? For example, here are two of my tests:</p>

<p>1st: 32
English 35
Math 34
Reading 34
Science 26</p>

<p>2nd: 32
English 36
Math 34
Reading 30
Science 28</p>

<p>Will they combine the highest?</p>

<p>No, they don't stack scores.</p>

<p>Some do but vast majority of colleges do not mix and match multiple ACT tests and instead consider only that test with the highest composite. Note, in your situation you should probably send both anyway because some colleges weigh math and English higher than the other scores and some, because you have the same composite score, will look at both in the process of making a decision.</p>

<p>With the ACT, most of the time colleges only take the whole sitting, not mixing and matching type deal, like the SAT.</p>
