Act Score Question

<p>If you take it twice does the best score from each section count or is it just your best score overall for a given day? Someone said if you take it twice then colleges look at your average by blending both days? Is that true? Wouldn't they just consider your best day's score?</p>

<p>From what I have heard most schools look at the score from a given day. But, according to several posts on College Confidential, there are some schools that will take your best subscores - I think the term used was super scoring though I would not swear to it. I think this is fairly rare so your best bet is to check with the schools you are applying to.</p>

<p>different schools have different policies. for example, i know WUSTL superscores.</p>

<p>But they wouldn't take an average of two test dayes right? In other words if one day you are a 30 and next time you are a 28 they would go by the 30 not 29?</p>

<p>dogs I have never heard of any school doing that. When people talk about schools combining the scores from more than one test date they mean taking the best subscores from each and using those to recalculate a composite - not just averaging out the scores. So yes they would go by 30 not 29.</p>

<p>Trinity and Colby superscore their ACTs</p>

<p>no... most colleges will only look at the highest COMPOSITE score between both ACTs and will not blend your subscores unfortunately... but they WILL do that with the SATs only...</p>
