<p>I am looking for guidance on this forum since my daughter's GC is new (She took the position last week!). My D took the ACT for the third time in September and she received the same Composite score that she earned the first and second sittings. Her subtest scores across sittings are much better however. I know that schools don't superscore the ACT but should she send all three tests in hopes that they look at the subtest scores (Even if she sent two sittings, her superscore would be much higher)? Is there a way to draw their attention to the better scores, say on the common app. under additional info. or would that be too obvious? She is thinking about going ED and her composite puts her near the 25%, but her superscored ACT puts her near the 75% I did read the ACT recommendations on superscoring by the way and they don't recommend it because they feel it may make a student look better than they are, but their data show that about half the kids whould have unchanged composites if they superscored and about half would only go up by one point!</p>
<p>Some top schools do superscore the ACT. I believe Amherst, MIT and WUSTL are on the list. MIT, for example, asks for your best score for each section and the date you received it on their app.</p>
<p>Google superscore ACT.</p>
<p>The school she is intereseted in, like many, says on its website that it wants to see all test sittings of the ACT and will take the highest composite. There is one school that my D is considering that does superscore, but it’s not her first choice. Now that some top schools are superscoring I wonder if schools “unofficially” take into consideration all subtest scores or do they only use the composite. That’s my hope anyways. I think it’s generally discouraged taking a test more than three times and I know my D doesn’t relish the idea.</p>
