<p>I am reading a thread on superscoring (taking the best individual parts of two or more ACTs). There is a list of schools who do this (just like the SAT). Does UR take the best scores from the individual sections of the ACT and put them together? Thanks!</p>
<p>Short answer - no. Long answer: ditto. ;)</p>
<p>are you in admissions? You answer a lot of the UR questions.... just curious</p>
<p>No. The only admissions persons from Richmond are UR Admissions and Spider Admissions.</p>
<p>We do not superscore the ACT. We use the highest composite score for those who submit multiple exam results.</p>
<p>I should have added that the best reason for NOT superscoring is the way that ACT reports scores to colleges. They send one score report per request. If you don't specify which exam (i.e. October 2008) then they will send us the most recent test which might not have been the better test. College Board, on the other hand automatically sends cumulative reports of all your testing, so we can be reasonably assured that we've got a total record (unless you register under a different name or something of that sort). With ACT you'd have to spend a bunch of money to send us multiple score reports in order to cover your bases. We don't like forcing you to spend more money than necessary in this process. In addition, the door would be wide open to every student who wasn't successful in their admission efforts to challenge the decision on the grounds of having had us review incomplete test records. I hope this makes some sense as far as our reasoning for the practice.</p>
