Superscoring

<p>How do you super score the ACT? Do I just send both of my tests score reports, or do I just report my best scores in each category?</p>

<p>send both.</p>

<p>Not many colleges superscore the ACT.
Find out if the college you want to go to superscores the test. </p>

<p>Here’s a site that has your answer.
[Colleges</a> that super score ACT | College Admissions Counseling](<a href=“http://www.collegeadmissionspartners.com/college-testing/colleges-superscore-act/]Colleges”>Colleges that superscore the ACT - BS/MD Admissions by College Admissions Partners)</p>

<p>I do not see many top colleges on this list though. The main ones that catch my eye are CMU, CIT, MIT, NYU, and Brown.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Kenyon College is on the list, and they are my #1 choice.</p>

<p>@ hotinpusuit. Don’t forget Wash U which is probably the third most prominent (after MIT and Brown) that superscores ACT.</p>

<p>The list can’t be accurate. The list has the UofIllinois on there, and the U of I website strictly says that they don’t superscore.</p>

<p>Taken from [U&lt;/a&gt; of I Admissions: Freshman Admission Requirements](<a href=“http://admissions.illinois.edu/apply/requirements_freshman.html]U”>Page Not Found, Illinois Undergraduate Admissions) :
“The University of Illinois does not build a super-score. We use the highest ACT composite or SAT total from a single test date.”</p>

<p>I believe Cornell superscores</p>

<p>Yea the source I provided earlier is a bit outdated - it’s about 2 to 3 years old.</p>

<p>Pardon my insufficient knowledge, but what is super scoring?</p>

<p>Superscoring is taking the best score from each subsection and combining it into one score. For example: ACT 1: science 30 math 30 english 30 reading 30
ACT 2: science 35 math 25 english 35 reading 25
Superscore: science 35 math 30 english 35 reading 30</p>
