Does University of Illinois at Chicago Superscore for ACT

Test Preparation

<p>I wanted to know if they superscore or not?</p>

2

<p>No, Illinois public universities do not superscore SAT or ACT; they use that test with highest composite. That is true of the majority of public universities nationwide.</p>

3

<p>okay thank you. Also, would you have any idea of which ACT looks better?</p>

<p>Composite- 28
English- 26
Math- 29
Reading- 29
Science- 27</p>

<p>or</p>

<p>Composite 28
English- 24
Math- 33
Reading- 23
Science- 32</p>

<p>Well, it depends on what your intended field of study is. If you want to study math or science-related, the second test would look better. If you are looking for more of a liberal arts education, you may be off choosing the first one. However, some schools require you to send in all of your test scores so the question may be moot.</p>

5

<p>Okay. Bioengineering would be the intended education</p>

6

<p>Since both are the same composite, they will look at both and each has its better points so send both.</p>

7

<p>okay will do. On the application however, it asks for the best set of scores. Should i put either one then?</p>

8

<p>Though what you put on app probably means little since UIC will rely on the official scores sent by ACT not the one set out in the app, I would likely put the one that has the higher math score since you are applying for engineering and the math score is the more important for any such major.</p>

<p>Alright. Thanks for the help!</p>
