If I have already taken the ACT with Writing, can I re-take the ACT without Writing?
Yes. We will mix and match scores from different test dates to identify a new composite score that includes the highest ACT composite score and the highest ACT Writing score.

<p>Best composite, NOT subscores!</p>
<p>Vanderbilt doesn't superscore either...</p>
<p>Boston College superscores. Was there recently for campus tour and asked a member of the Admissions Committee.</p>

<p>Quote from their website.</p>
<p>can someone please tell me if vassar superscores?!</p>
<p>Where are there Web links confirming these statements about the ACT? Some of the quoted statements from colleges earlier in the thread are subject to the interpretation that the college is only promising to consider the highest ACT composite score from multiple sittings, which is not called "superscoring" and is not what the OP asked about.</p>
<p>MIT and Cornell both superscore. I know for a fact from last year. I think Carnegie Mellon does as well, but I can't remember for sure on that one.</p>
<p>I also believe Amherst does as well</p>
<p>For clarification---When you say "superscore" does this mean that colleges combine the best subscores from multiple tests- or take the best composite score out of the tests you submit?</p>
<p>The term "superscore" refers to considering test subsections regardless of what test sitting they come from. I've not heard of any college that fails to regard your best score in at least the best-sitting sense.</p>
<p>well, for the SAT, many (most i think) colleges do take your best reading, math, and writing scores over however many tests you've taken, and then they create a new overall SAT score</p>
<p>on the ACT, most colleges don't take the best of each individual section.. they just look at the main composite score.. some colleges do super-score, but not too terribly many</p>
<p>Amherst DOES superscore ACT scores(just to let you know).</p>
