<p>Im a junior and high school and I've taken the ACTs twice now, in October and November. Each time I've gotten a composite of 31, but with almost completely opposite scores. If I keep taking the test is there a good chance my score will go up to the 33ish range? Also, in this case, would you recommend me sending in both ACT scores so the colleges know I can do very well in each category?</p>
<p>October:
C: 31
W:33
M:30
R:33
S:29</p>
<p>December:
C: 31
W: 31
M: 33
R: 27
S : 34</p>
<p>Do they colleges you are looking at superscore the ACT? If so, you would have:
E/W:33
M:33
R:33
S:34</p>
<p>So the composite would be a 33. I think the difference is negligible once you reach 32+, since they are all in the 99.5+ percentile.</p>
<p>The schools I hope to go to are:
Northwestern
UPenn
Georgetown
BC
Wake Forest
UVA
NYU
Emory
Mich
Duke</p>
<p>Any of them super score?</p>
<p>i think you should just send both composites. i doubt any schools superscore the ACTs because they come in a “package” deal where the scores are averaged instead of just added like the SATs</p>
<p>Cornell superscores</p>
<p>Northwestern’s published data are NOT superscores. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t look at your individual scores when evaluating your admission.</p>
<p>cornell doesnt superscore. no one superscores ACTs</p>
<p>Superscoring is comparable to cheating in a way. Let’s say you take the ACT twice, and each time you only focus on two sections of the test, pull a 36 in the sections, and end up with a superscored 36.</p>
<p>people do that on the SATs all the time. I don’t see it as cheating if they accept superscored results. I could get a 1000 on 2 tests and end up with a 1600 :)</p>

<p>WashU’s published ACT scores are superscores</p>
<p>XiΞiX, i definitely agree with you on the cheating aspect. i hate it when people take the SATs 3 times to get a perfect 800. they are basically just taking one section at a time while bsing the others. i hate how colleges even consider superscoring</p>
<p>NYU superscores</p>
