<p>I am confused. I thought that from Dean J's blog that UVA does not superscore the ACT. However, I wonder if I am misreading it somewhat. While I do understand that UVA will not recombine the subscores to generate a new composite score based on the composite subscores of more than one test, does UVA <em>consider</em> the best subscores from multiple tests? In other words, does UVA's computer system pull only the best ACT score from <em>one</em> single sitting, or does it pull the best subscores from each composite subsection for "consideration" (keeping in mind that there is no recombination of the best subscores)?</p>
<p>Here's what Dean J said in her blog:</p>
<p>"...Our system is programed to pull the best verbal, best math, and best writing scores of those on file. Readers don't see anything else. For the ACT, we see the best composite score and the subscores related to that best composite score (we do not recombine ACT subscores to come up with a new composite)."</p>
<p>While Dean J's statement appeared clear to me at first, the only reason why I am questioning it is that when I googled my question, I found different interpretations of Dean J's statement (e.g. one college admission counseling person stated that while UVA does not recombine subscores, UVA "considers" the best subscores from each test sitting and this person supposedly confirmed this with UVA...hence my confusion.)</p>
