ACT superscoring

<p>Forgive me, I have little knowledge about the ACTs.</p>

<p>I took them for the first time and got a 35 in English, 32 in Science. I retook it again, today, hoping to get a 34+ composite...</p>

<p>...and quickly found that it seemed a tad harder.</p>

<p>Well, not the English. The English is a breeze for me... just correcting sentences and what not. I finish with like 15-20 minutes left...</p>

<p>But the Science seemed noticeably harder this time around. The Reading was brutal as usual.</p>

<p>So anyways, do most colleges allow for ACT scores to be superscored? Or do they only accept your highest sitting...</p>

<p>The university I want to attend superscores the ACT. Each school is different. They usually have that information in their admissions packet or on their website.</p>

<p>Here is a link with the names of colleges that superscore the ACT:</p>

<p>The list is not exhaustive though…After not finding a college on the list, I then went to the college’s website and found info stating they do superscore.</p>

<p>Thanks, billcsho. I had never seen all of the information about superscoring in a chart like that.</p>

<p>Just want to understand clearly. The super scoring in ACT works just as the way it does in SAT. Right? Meaning, they will go by the highest score in English, reading, Science & Math.</p>

<p>@ bella - it depends on the school…I checked with one school’s admissions counselor…the response was the school superscores by looking at the best individual sub-scores, but they do not superscore the composite! :frowning: I recommend checking the school’s websites and the links above. If you are still unsure, contact the admissions office of the colleges in which you are interested.</p>
