<p>I realize that a student can take the ACT test several times. Does anyone know if the student can use his highest scores from each subject each time he takes it? Do they keep the highest score from each test as your final highest score? Thanks for the information.</p>
<p>most colleges add up the highest scores in each section</p>
<p><em>EDIT</em> actually I'm not sure but I would think so since thats what they do for the SAT's</p>
<p>unfortunately, most colleges only add up the highest composite...however, only a few allow you to add your highest individual subject scores.</p>
<p>I think this is the ONLY advantage of taking the SAT, though I still think that the advantages of the ACT overshadow this problem.</p>
<p>Thanks you guys for the information. I really appreciate it. So, basically it depends on the college and how they view the scores, right?</p>
<p>Colleges look for the highest composite, not each subject test. Sorry.</p>
<p>Very few schools will mix and match ACT scores from different sittings, the way they do for the SAT. Most simply take the highest composite you have. Since you have free choice in what ACT tests you submit (unlike the SATS where everything gets sent), you can pick the best one.</p>
<p>There are just a few schools that mix and match ACT scores. The most "well known" of these is Washington University. I believe there are a few others, but I can't tell you which ones. Most schools, as I said before, don't do this.</p>
<p>...i wonder if they'll mix and match the writing score....</p>
