Superscoring?

<p>Well? Do all colleges accept superscored ACT scores? Do none? I'm very eager about this topic....and I've heard answers all over the place.</p>

<p>most do not</p>

<p>what is super score. Is that when you give them money and they make your score super.</p>

<p>I think its where they take the highest score on each section and combine it to make a new composite. Kind of like what they do with the SAT right now. I might be wrong...</p>

<p>Take the best score for each subject and create a new composite.</p>

<p>I didn't think "superscoring" was even an option with the ACT.</p>

Well, colleges can do about whatever they want with the scores they get. The question is a little misleading, because there aren't any "superscores" for colleges to accept--the real question is "Do colleges combine subscores to create a 'superscore'?"</p>

<p>In general, they do not. A google search on ACT admissions combine composite results in a good number of links to colleges that, right in the google summary, state that they do not do this. I came across only a few that do: Tennessee Wesleyan, U Tennessee, U Central Arkansas, U Colorado @ Boulder, and Pepperdine University are some examples. There are some colleges that do this for SAT subscores, but not ACT. There are also some that state that even though they don't do this--they use your highest composite--high subscores in other sittings might be considered in the admissions process.</p>

<p>You need to check with each individual college you are considering. Most of them should answer this question on their website; if they don't, call them.</p>

<p>Syracuse will combine composite results</p>

<p>Even if colleges do combine scores, you have to pay for each test date as seperate score reports. Not usually worth it.</p>
