<li>For the ACT, if you take it more than once, will colleges only look at your best scores on each of the sections and average together to get a final score, or do they look at your highest composite score?
2 Which is the most imortant: SAT I, SAT IIs, or ACT?</li>
</ol>

<li><p>Unlike the SAT, most colleges consider only that ACT test on which you have the highest composite and do not not mix and match subscores from multiple tests. There are some that take your best subscores from multiple tests, there are none I am aware of that average scores from multiple tests.</p></li>
<li><p>SAT and ACT are on the same level (Harvey Mudd is now the only college of any ranking that does not accept both and instead requires the SAT) and one or the other must be submitted for large majority of colleges. Vast majority of colleges do not require SAT II's, although most very high ranked colleges do and for those the II's are usually of as much importance as the SAT. Some of those which require SAT II's will accept the ACT in lieu of both the SAT and SAT II's (examples: Yale, Penn, Brown, Pomona, Tufts, Amherst, Wesleyan).</p></li>
