<p>Hey, does anyone know if Brown superscores either the ACT or SAT? Superscoring is when they take the highest subscore you have acheieved out of all the tests you have taken (i.e. a 29 in English in June and a 33 in Oct. equals a 33 for that section, and so on) to make a new composite. Anyone know?</p>
<p>See the following info was taken directly from Brown’s Admissions web site Q&A:</p>
<p>“How does Brown evaluate standardized tests?
We look at your test scores along with other information about your academic promise as we read your complete application. We do not attempt to assess test results in a formulaic way. If you have taken tests more than once, we concentrate on your highest scores. For the three components of the SAT, we focus on your best scores, regardless of the date you had taken the test (we do not calculate averages, nor do we look at the sum total of the components).”</p>
<p>My understanding is that they look at the highest sub-scores from multiple sittings of the SAT. Not sure if they actually do the same for the ACT. I believe most schools “superscore” the SAT, but look at the results only from the ACT with the highest composite score. Brown doesn’t say exactly how they treat multiple sittings on the ACT.</p>
<p>IIRC, at the info session they said they don’t superscore ACT. I would call em or email em to check though</p>
