<p>So I took the ACTs twice...I ended up with the same score twice...but:</p>
<p>June:
C: 30
E: 33
R: 31
M: 32
S: 25</p>
<p>Sept:
C:30
E: 31
R: 29
M: 32
S: 28</p>
<p>So science went up, everything else went down...I'm not sure what to do right now! And I'm applying ED =/</p>
<p>perhaps you should take the October act…that is what I am doing and I am applying ED</p>
<p>I’ve seen that happen on others’ tests. That’s why you take the SAT IIs and AP tests in sciences</p>
<p>Schools should never superscore the ACT. The test wasn’t normed that way.</p>
<p>Actually some schools DO superscore the ACT. See Cornell University.</p>
<p>well then they don’t know what they are doing. The way the ACT is constructed an examined, the individual subject scores are all independent and different combinations of them all yield different composite scores based on the different sittings.</p>

<p>…they don’t know what they’re doing because…?</p>
<p>NYU superscores them too.</p>
<p>MIT also.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The composite is a mere average of the subscores (except the writing portion), so I don’t get your point. And this is different from SAT just how?</p>
<p>I just hope my chances aren’t totally gone >.<</p>
<p>Do your research on the ACT (norming, percentiles, etc.) It’s completely different from the SAT. Each subject sub-score is unique to that exam and that exam is unique in and of itself in how it is normed. Schools should not average the subscores and make their own composite. ACT determines the composite based on the subscores - not a school. That’s all.</p>
