<p>Some colleges take the highest grade you get on each section of the SAT to figure your value as a human being.</p>
<p>Do these colleges also take subscores from the different ACT sections from different test dates to obtain your greatest composite score? Or do they just look at the highest composite score you've gotten on any given test date?</p>
<p>The former is correct, and is dubbed "superscore".</p>
<p>It depends on the college I think.</p>
<p>With very few exceptions, my understanding is that colleges do NOT superscore the individual sections of the ACT from multiple administrations of the test. What counts is your best composite score from any ONE test.</p>
<p>Yeah, that is probably true because you send ACT score reports separately, while SAT score reports include all scores.</p>
