<p>Sorry if this has already been asked but...</p>

<p>Does MIT superscore the ACT composite?</p>

<p>I get that they ask for the best scores across each section but one "section" is your best composite so i was wondering if your best composite from one test is considered your "ACT score" of if your best composite is recalculated from the best score across each section...</p>

<p>Say "someone" scored:</p>

<p>English: 28, Math: 34, Reading: 34, Science: 29 -- Composite: 31
English: 34, Math: 36, Reading: 28, Science: 35 -- Composite: 33</p>

<p>...on two separate tests.</p>

<p>Superscored:</p>

<p>English: 34, Math: 36, Reading: 34, Science: 35 -- Adjusted Composite: 35</p>

<p>so...</p>

<p>Is the 35 or the 33 considered the actual composite score?</p>

<p>I am mostly curious as to which ACT bracket i fall into in the admissions statistics (whether or not im a '34-36er' or a '30-33er') so i can obsess over my chances in appropriate amounts :P</p>

<p>Thanks for any insight!</p>

<p>Yes, MIT does superscore - they use “the highest score achieved in each section”. From [MIT</a> Admissions: Standardized Test Requirements](<a href=“http://mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/standardized_test_requirements/index.shtml]MIT”>http://mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/standardized_test_requirements/index.shtml)</p>
