<p>Does Johns Hopkins superscore ACT? I know they do for the SAT, but how about the ACT?</p>
<p>No we do not superscore the ACT, we look at the highest combined score from a single sitting. This is not to say we ignore other ACT scores, but for our reporting purposes we do not superscore the ACT.</p>
<p>Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>Could you please explain what superscoring means? I never heard of this term.
Thanks.</p>
<p>"Superscoring" means cherry picking the best scores on each individual section from two or more sittings of the test, rather than using the total from a single sitting. </p>
<p>If you score CR 600 + M 650 (= 1250) one day and CR 690 and M 620 (= 1310) the second time around, your "superscore" would be 1340 (CR 690 + M 650). </p>
<p>Many colleges superscore the SAT, but I don't know of any who do the same for the ACT.</p>
<p>great answer worried_mom ...</p>
<p>... I had never heard of the term "superscore" until I came to College Confidential. I actually think it was a term created by this site, because I bet if you poll college admissions professionals throughout the country, very few have ever heard the term.</p>
